Otaku buy BDs; regular people just buy DVDs. Laughing

Released on June 17, the film sold 127,365 DVD units in less than a week, making it the second-best-selling release for all DVD sales in Japan. Mobile Suit Gundam UC Volume 3 held the previous anime record for 2011 with about 62,028 DVDs sold since its April release.


Heh, 62,028 < 127,365

I bought the Blu-Ray myself, and it is glorious. Glad the DVDs are selling so well; this is a really wonderful movie. One of the better Ghibli films of the past decade.

62,028 = old anime DVD record for 2011.
127,365 = current 2nd-best-selling for all DVDs in 2011.

Ah, that makes sense, thanks.

I didn't read the title. I had in mind that the current 1st-best-selling for all DVDs was also an anime and thus that's the current record-holder.

I remember it being mentioned like 65%+ of all BDs sold in Japan are anime, so yeah.

This film looks GREAT on Blu-ray. I've watched it two times so far. Very satisfied with my purchase.
