Just curious! Movies or series, if it counts as anime you can count it! No divx or anything like that... it has to be a DVD/VHS you bought or were given.

I have 27 DVDs at last count... but I have a friend who has well over 1000 DVDs and tapes... @_@

Just 3 very good ones: Akira, Princess Mononoke, and Cowboy Bebop: The movie. Unless you count me taping the Blue Gender, FlCL, Trigun, and Kikaider off of adult swim. The rest of the anime I've seen is either off of animesuki, I got it from the library, or I saw it from adult swim. And a few peices here and there from kazaa.

dont have many DVDs.....but i do have many CDs!

i think i have about 15 DVDs

Cowboy Bebop Box Set
Cowboy Bebop Movie
.Hack//Sign
Fushigi Yuugi
Naruto Ep. 1-50
Love Hina

Ok, now lesse...I am far from an uber Anime collector, and quite far from an expert of any kind. Since we are only counting bought DVD's here goes:

Trigun Collection (8 Dvds) +
Evangelion Collection (8 Dvds) = 16 +
End of Eva = 17 +
Death and Rebirth = 18 +
Hellsing Collection (4 Dvds) = 22 +
Final Fantasy Unlimited (Discs 1 and 2) = 24 +
Full Metal Panic = (Discs 1 to 6) = 30 +
Excel Saga Collection (6 Dvds) = 36 +
Akira = 37 +
Ninja Scroll = 38 +
Lain Collection (4 Dvds) = 42 +
Ghost in the SHell = 43 +

and thats uhh :blink: more then I thought I had...

I have 40 DVDs I think... but loads of taped stuff (about 50+ tapes), and VCDs too (which are legal, can you believe it)

I like anime. But I don't want to spend money on it. For one, I don't have the money, and besides that, I'll watch a series once or twice maybe. I think paying a lot of money for that simply isn't worth it. Maybe if a really good series was released here for a reasonable price (FLCL, Fruits Basket to name two ones I wouldn't mind having) I'd consider buying them, but good series never show up here and I don't care about DBZ and Digimon DVDs and videos.

heh.. i went on a spending craze as soon as i got into college and i have about 70 anime dvd's now.. getting a steady flow of about 4 a week

edit: GOD.. i've just been thinking about this... with the money i spent on them its actually equivalent to maybe 100 dvd+... the V-Gundam special edition pack (the spending craze) was.. 132,000 yen... I was mad wasn't I

What a waste of money =/ *downloads anime and buys some good books*

i think it was worth it.. it came in a very well.. not-so-flash case but to own such a classic.. a limited edition too.. *goes into the otaku-pride mode*

internet is so crap here and with the lame supplies in shops i just buy them online.. credit card is good

I have the complete Evangelion series (eps 1-26) on VHS as well as Death and Rebirth and End of Evangelion on DVD (except they're my boyfriend's bday present, but I'll probably end up watching 'em too so they are technically mine! ;)) I really want to see .hack//SIGN but being in the back of beyond with the nearest HMV in London/Lakeside, as well as poor, it's kinda unlikely I'm gonna get it any time soon :( The only Anime I've really been able to find is Metropolis in our local video shop and Spirited Away.

(btw, what is Bit Torrent and is it illegal?)

Otaku is really quite a negative word you know that?

I was going to vote ten to twenty-five but then I counted the anime on my shelf and I think its like 40 or somewhere around that (have a lot more then I thought)

I've got a bunch of old VHS from wayy back in the ages =_=

I don't buy any anime DVDs .. just download :heh:

and same with Angelic, if it's a series I really like (say, Saikano or Fruits Basket), I would consider buying it ^_^

actually.. it was just the V-Gundam special edition pack.. but then i&#39;ve been saving all my high school life for it

I&#39;ll usually download a bunch of fansubs, then I&#39;ll find something I really like and buy it as the DVDs are being released in the US. I did that with Noir, Witch Hunter Robin, Full Metal Panic, and a few others... I&#39;m waiting for GitS:SAC to come out on DVD :D

After I saw Princess Mononoke (which I borrowed from a friend), I went out and bought almost every Miyazaki DVD that was out :heh:

So you&#39;re proud to be an obsessive fanboy? :eyebrow: riiiight.... Basically, "otaku" is an insult and personally I use the word in its real meaning.

Since Neon Genesis Evangelio was my first and also best anime Ive seen..... so 2 months ago I decided to kinda eternalize it..... so I pruchased the Neon Genesis Evangelion Prefect DVD Collection (*pffffffffffff*) and 2 weeks later End of Evangelion...... the DVDBox cost me a lot but I didn&#39;t regret it one single bit :cry:

A friend of my is in Japan and is gonna buy me a Rei action-figure to add to my collection &#33;&#33; XD

People who buy action figures scare the shit out of me....

well Rei left some kind of mark, because my opinion is that Rei had so much meaning while she was almost always on the background....... I haven&#39;t switched my desktop for almost a year now :ph34r: and no im not buy-an-action-figure-holic.... I just want Rei as action figure cauz my opinion is that Rei had so much meaning in NGE

It&#39;s more like a symbolic thing that&#39;s all

Even so, people who buy action figures freak me out. There&#39;s just something wrong about it in my opinion, unless you&#39;re a kid. Otherwise you&#39;re just some otaku (= obessed fanboy) X_X

nah, in my case you can compare it with keeping someone&#39;s ashes after cremation...

ya see, im trying to make the memory I have from NGE eternal, that has nothing to do with fanboy or being a kid..... as I said, more a symbolic kind of thing..... if I was a fanboy I would buy every DVD of every series I saw.... no I&#39;ve got DSL already for that, to download my ass of that is....

No matter what excuse one may use, I find it disturbing. It&#39;s just an anime, and actually not even a very good one =P there are anime with much better stories and much better characters. But, we&#39;re going off topic now. I stilll have zip anime on DVD. Could make my own videos though.

LOL says the guy who made a whole website about including self-made summaries with some help of others) and made a whole forum really Angelic, THAT&#39;s disturbing.......

Well, Eva is good but it&#39;s overrated and I agree I wasn&#39;t much better. Still, a site is a nice pasttime while a action figure is just... a piece of plastic you can&#39;t do anything with.

Unfortunetly, most of my Anime DVDs got stolen. :crybaby: I owned about 30 from different series, but now I just own the DVDs that came with .hack//SIGN. After my next pay check, I&#39;m going to start buying DVDs starting with CCS.

Here&#39;s some of my Anime CDs ~

http://img66.photobucket.com/albums/v200/aboot/anime_cds.jpg

@_@ Nice Angelic&#33;

I only have a 32 CD booklet. =_=

not too many.... dvds cost so much, it&#39;s scary... >< downloading is so much cheaper.. haha, but at times, illegal...

if it&#39;s not dvds and just cds, I probably have well over 1000..

I like to call that ...haaaaaaaaaarddisk :P

i have a two hundred something cd case and it&#39;s filled with anime. i&#39;m alreayd filling up a 40 case...half way full x.x;

i just counted how many cds i actually have.....turns out i had more than i thought i did.....

i have 234 cds worth of anime. most of them complete series too...only 3 are incomplete...

I have none, so I borrow them from my friends. I&#39;m not broke, I&#39;m just cheap.

yaaaaaayy&#33;&#33;&#33;

I found someone else who knows that otaku is a bad thing

technically, an otaku just means an obsessor, and it doesn&#39;t even necessarily mean anime (well, I guess in the english speaking world it does. Just another form of our ignorance)

as for DVDs, I share my DVD collection with kage, so we have the same amount ^_^

Umm...... I only have about 5.......

I try to buy as many DVDs as possible. To me it&#39;s just the right thing to do. I do download some licensed series, but I try not to as much as possible.

I have a few.. like.. six.
· Love Hina &#39;Moving In&#39;
· &#39;Grave of the Fireflies&#39;
· Three or four RK. Too lazy to check. :/

And I collect those Newtype magazines too, which come with one or two DVD&#39;s a month. I have about four or five of those so far.

Grave of the Fireflies
Kiki&#39;s Delivery Service
Only Yesterday
Spirited Away

...................... ............... *thinks*

i have alot more, just can&#39;t remember :P

I&#39;ve got three:
DVD-X the movie
DVD-X vol. two (with episodes 4,5,6)
VHS-Princess Mononoke

.

Its not that practical on 50.6k Kbps with 2 hour cut offs.

Akira(movie)
Ghost in the shell(movie)
Detonator Orgun(series but all on one DVD)

I try and avoid buying seires because I&#39;ll end up searching to find the lot and that will cost more that I really want to spend

just finished the fansubs for Last Exile... it was excellent&#33; Another &#036;150 of DVDs to buy :ph34r:

Talk about wasting money...

*uses that &#036;150 for much more important stuff* =P

my collection is slowerly growing, only realy started collecting last year, have all of gasarki, nearly all of Neon genesis, complete outlaw star and started excel saga



- Najica Blitz Tactics (Volume 1)
sooo many pantie shots, seen one episode and the add far tomany times

I may not be as "hardcore" or "diehard" in the anime collection as some people here, but I have approx 20 dvds valued at 385 dollars approx.

From what I can remember
Love Hina Series, Winter, Spring, Again
Happy Lesson, Happy Lesson Advanced, Once More (or Once Again I forget -_-&#39;)
Outlwar Star
Trigun
Big O Season 1 and 2

nah its not a waste, it&#39;s supporting anime in the US... and I love DVD-quality anime ^_^

especially if they include dolby digital 5.1 on the japanese track :wub:

*Downloads DVD-rips that have the same* :D

And for me it&#39;s legal since most anime isn&#39;t licensed here :shifty:

toooooooooooooo lucky angelic..

my collection just hit 100+ dvds this week.. with the completion of .hack series... took like 5 weeks to get my order done.. evil people

I suppose you have a point angelic, if you can&#39;t purchase them in your country...

It&#39;s weird, I have no problem with DVD rips or whatever of movies, but when it comes to anime I really feel strongly about purchasing it. Not only is it supporting the animators, but it&#39;s encouraging the licensers and publishers to bring more anime out of Japan.

Movies make most of their money with theatrical releases -- anime doesn&#39;t have this luxury. I only buy anime that I enjoy of course, and not without watching the fansub first... but if I enjoy something I support them by purchasing the DVDS.

its like music. although you can download them off the net for free, for some truly good albums you like, you&#39;d rather buy them..
maybe its just "i want the have the official copy" rather than just a "i want to have a copy" thing..

and yeah, slow connection is just another reason for buying them rather then downloading them

i never really counted....i dont buy anything tho i only have the dvds that people give me for my birthday and stuff lol

BTW, on a television you don&#39;t see the difference between a Hi-Q DivX file and a DVD =P and I don&#39;t have dolby 5.1 anyway, so in the end I&#39;d be paying for stuff I don&#39;t even need at all.

If anime DVDs were sold for a reasonable price I might consider buying some, but they are just way too expensive for what they offer <_<

I just started with buying anime DVD&#39;s, so I don&#39;t have a big collection (yet =P) I almost reached the limit of 10 DVD&#39;s^ :)

yay 6 for me

Escaflone: 5
Laputa: 1

umm... 2 dvds, about 12 vcds... dvds are expensive&#33;&#33; >< anyways many of the videos are dubbed :bleh: = not original&#33; and i don&#39;t like dubbed stuff, the voices are so fake&#33; japanese for me, thanks.

oh.. I bought my first anime DVD XD

Saikano volume 1.. I just had to do it ^_^ &#036;14 Canadian, not too bad

just 2
spirited away and princess mononoke :)

<<<15 dvds 1 vhs

I think I only have five dvds. Some RK, Love Hina&#39;s "Moving In", & Grave of the Fireflies.
