Sales Chart: Oct. 2013 – Dec. 2013

It’s been a long time coming but as mentioned on our first podcast last week, it’s the return of the Anime UK Sales Charts! The last one posted detailed September 2013’s chart – yes it’s been that long since the last one was posted.

Over the course of the next week or two we’re going to be catching up in the form of posts combining certain time periods, for example one particular quarter of the year, while retaining the rankings for each month. Today we’re focusing on the period between October 2013 – December 2013. It was quite a while ago, but here’s how things shaped up.

Also please note that we’re not able to provide detailed notes for November and December, however we’ve put the chart listings so that it’s better than nothing. I’ve been told we have all the data for January 2014 onwards so expect more detailed information in upcoming posts.
