Posted: Tue Feb 26, 2002 1:15 am Post subject: How many anime DVDs do you have? |
|
|
We had a thread not so long ago with people indicating how large their anime CD collection was. I would like to see how many anime DVDs you have.
Let's count only anime (if you want you can also specify all your DVDs of course) as titles. So 1 boxset is also 1 title.
Currently I have:
73 R1 titles (of which 8 boxsets and/or special editions)
and 14 titles on order
25 R2 titles (of which 12 boxsets and/or special editions)
and 4 titles on order (1 box)
boxsets above are titles with 3 actual discs or more.
anime is now more then 50% of my entire DVD collection (92 'regular' titles) and lately I've only bought anime. Too bad all those R2's are so expensive...

Let's see, I'm a poor bastard - at $40 a pop, DVDs are prettymuch out of my range so in total, after all these years, I have... one DVD. And that's Grave of the Fireflies (one of my childhood movies), when it does come out, and when I do have enough money, I plan to buy Laputa too. |

I only have a pitiful 14 with another couple on order, but that's mainly because of those only one is region two coded (my zone), and I regret getting that (it was a present - the Mononoke Hime UK R2 which they thoughtfully put only dubtitles in so you get to read the text during long periods of silence on the Japanese audio) |

I only have a handful of titles: maybe 9 or 10 R1's, and 2 R2's (with 1 title on order.) Anime is actually my entire DVD collection; I have no live-action discs except for a Black Adder boxset that someone got me for Christmas... |

DVDs- 2. Arislan and Lupin-CoC.
LDs. About 50. :)
One of my goals was to convert all my LDs to SVCD, but MAN has that been a pain. Becuase of the prevalence of using the closed caption track for the subs, I've had to fish for fansubs and retime anything I work on. :/ |

For me, I haven't bought as much as I would've liked in the last year due to financial issues, but:
I've got 39 anime DVDs
(counting my 7 box-sets as single DVDs...)
...and 48 commercial-release anime VHS tapes (I've got lots of fansubs in boxes around the garage as well, but the garage isn't heated, and it's cold out, so I'm not going there...)
...And I've got AnimEigo's new KOR (TV) DVD box set on order! Word from AE is that they'll be shipping it on March 15! |

I remember Musicman being the other huge junki in this area. But since we're counting DVDs and not burned cds..
I only collect DVDs and no VHS or LDs whatsoever, since that's just me and that's what the topic is.
57 R1 7 Boxsets
5 ebay/R0 Boxsets (ghetto I know) (All 15 DVDs of Ranma Tv counting as 1)
4 R2
Looks like Onakra's got the lead since R2's = (2x,3x R1) >= R0
But it was well worth my lunch money. I used to eat gold bricks, now just silver ones. |

I too, cannot afford as many as I'd like, and I've only recently begun buying DVDs. I have only six. |

6 movies + 3 boxed sets (counting each Fushigi Yuugi boxed set individually).
No tapes or LD - I never had much interest in collecting until the advent of digital media.

Yes I know. I had the link to Musicman's site, but it seems I've lost it somehow.

I wasn't intending this like a race or something; I'm just interested. Of course I should have included VHS and LDs as well...

36 by my count. All R1. Just found out how to play other regions on my player, though, so that may change. It helps getting a 30% discount off all DVDs. I love my job. |

The money thing is always pretty tight for me. I have 28, only 9 of which are anime. I'll also sometimes spend stupid amounts of money on special editions or imports of horror films so that doesn't help my anime collection much.
I just got a DVD player in August 2001.
VHS pre-records(commercial) - 28
Fansub VHS - alot. Way too many to count.
CD-R's - Too many to count.
LD's - 0 |

hi guys
Here's a count of my Anime DVDs
10 from Region 2 (sort of stopped getting these)
201 Region 1
23 Region 1 Boxset
I have seriously cut back on my purchases. You don't want to know how many I have not seen and are sitting on my shelf unopened.
Lately, I have been getting into Japanese Drama and just recently broke the 800 burned anime cdrs. Got over 100 cdrs of jdrama.
Stay away from jdrama...that's addicting too.
Last week I put together another DVD rack (holds 648 DVDs) and I'm hoping that it will be a couple of years before I need to get another. |

If you look on the right of a message, there is a little button called "quote". That will automaticly quote the message and insert it in the editor.
Alteratively, you can just use the quote mechanism by highlighting text and selecting the quote button above the text edit window, or using the tag system:
<quote="whofrom">text</quote> Except with square brackets. |
