The latest round of Japanese sales have arrived that details what’s shaking and moving there between May 11th and May 17th and it is, once again, a very light week in sales. you know it’s light when you see things like Naruto and One Piece showing up. Hell, on the DVD side, everything is under a thousand copies per title and it’s just cringe inducing. Not that the Blu-ray side is much better as most of the new releases there are below a thousand as well, with Saenai and Sailor Moon Crystal the only ones over a thousand that are brand new. World Trigger and Etotama have new volumes out in the sub-1000 range and the rest are just adding a few more releases to their overall sales numbers, but not by much.
