- «Mobile Suit Gundam is selling so well that even the physical discs, which are a small part of the franchise, are already making this list.».
- «Love Live! never gone from that position, I see why Mobile Suit Gundam bet on yuri this year».
- «Jujutsu Kaisen was the clear winner, the sales of the movie were huge».
- «Lycoris Recoil sold thousands of records but not a chart?».
- «The Chainsaw Man keeps losing, from what I see».
- «If Uma Musume: Pretty Derby also included its video game sales, there would be a big difference from the first place.».
- «Unbelievable, Jujutsu Kaisen did not even premiere anything this year, and still won».
