Following up on our earlier post, here’s a wee list of January’s anime sales. Again, we’ve kept the actual figures ambiguous for previously stated reasons. Makes for interesting reading though!
Here are the sales for all titles in January.

As you’ll note – there is still a disparate difference between what is actually the top 10 in volume vs what is new in the UK market. To give some background too – while stats are good sometimes on a month to month basis we find it hard to find a metric that works on numbers. To give you a bit of meat to chew on though – for new titles, to make it to #10 for a new title – you just need to sell more than 100 copies…
Sorry for the wait on this folks, thanks for sticking with us. Keep an eye out for February’s figures, it’ll be up much quicker (rumour has it even Friday)!
