| Yeah. I'd jump into the abyss that is figures, and never leave. |
TitanAnteus said: The point of buying anime goods is to further support the anime right? You buy figurines of your favorite characters because that money goes into the animators pockets as a reward for all their hard work. Same with Blu Rays and other stuff. I hate pointless shit. If it doesn't have a use, like figurines than I can't bring myself to spend money on it. If it's like a laniard or something, I might get a Mario themed one or a Geass themed one. I might get a laptop carrying case designed like Taka's in bloody monday, but pointless shit like dolls, figurines, posters and gunpla are things I can't in good conscience convince myself to believe are good purchases. Blu Rays are a given. If I was rich I'd buy the shit out of them. Merchandise like figurines are just for collectors anyway. There's very few I would ever want. I'd rather buy video game related merchandise. |
| Yes, I'd start a blu-ray collection and my own place to watch it on a big screen without my family judging me. I'd probably buy a load of figures and stuff too. |

| @ThatDarnIrishMan Stop triggering moodie. It's not nice. |
But it was fun. Love making edgelords mad. Do love this thread though for number of people trying to seem alpha. Half the people posting are being normal and saying "Yeah, I'd do it" or "Nah, not for me, I'd rather get X" whilst the other half are saying "I AM NOT POOR! I AM SOOOOO RICH ALREADY!" I occasionally forget that MAL's average userbase is under 20. |
| Yes, since I make under a certain income per year and fall under the "poverty" category in the US and still can regularly afford to collect anime DVD/BD. |

But yeah, I buy lots of anime goods, DVDs, collectors stuff. Love that stuff. I guess you'd call me an edgelord too since due to translation issues I wouldn't buy much anime at all either. I'd still pirate. |
| My room would be covered in anime posters, plushies, and figures if I wasn't so broke... |
 |
| Well, I definitely plan to buy more when I start making my own money. |
  |
| Bought couple of non official bootleg stuff. I got some cheap 2nd / clearance stuff when went to akiba last time. (because japanese need space in their house, so those out-of-season stuff are really2 cheap if you can find the shop there) I also tried those papercraft stuff, it actually quite cheap. And fun like building gundam. In the future, Im waiting for time when I can working for company with 3d printer and A1 plotter *grin* |
| Nah, i dont think sharing anime ratings in signature is cool thing. Here, stare at this pointless signature instead. |
| Duh. I'm pretty poor but I still manage to throw in a token purchase here and there to "support the industry", but mostly ease the guilt of mass anime piracy. I bought every volume of the Spice and Wolf manga after #4; scanlations stopped probably because it got licensed and the scanlators were bound by their honor code to stop or something. Figs and Blu-Rays are kind of beyond my level right now though. |
にこにこにー～ おまえわわたしの嫁にする！ 。。。なのは。。。エッチのこと。。。嫌いです！甘えな。。。 |
| I pirate all my shit, rarely paid for software/videos. EDIT: lol 1k post hell yea |
 |
| I would buy the rights to uncensor hentia. I am not a pervert nor addicted to porn. I just hate anything that is censored. I find it extremely fucking stupid to censor anything in this day and age. Wether is cusswords or nudity, or death. |
 |
| The one thing stopping me from buying anime figurines and starting my own collection is my financial situation. Don't know if I would buy DVDs though, I'm content with subscribing to various streaming websites. |
 |
| I am poor but I started in summer an anime blu-ray collection of shows I liked. I never regretted it even though I could spend the money on other things and get anime for free or with a subscription on a streaming service for little money. |
| The reason I'm poor is because I buy anime related goods (bye bye student loan). |
| Signature removed. Please follow the signature rules, as defined in the Site & Forum Guidelines. |
| Series? Probably. Depends on the series though, a lot of series I watch will never come over to NA. Merch? I don't feel strongly about most series I've watched to buy merch for it even if I had infinite money. Maybe Asuka's cat hat from Rebuild 3.33, the only good thing about that movie. |
| The economics suggests that people inevitably would buy anime or manga related merchandise, but it is difficult to compete with a competitor when that competitor is offering the exact same product for an incredibly cheap price: zero. |
| Yeah, because I want to support the brand and the merchandise is simply amazing..But Its a luxury that a poor person like myself can never experience :( |
| I buy anime and mangos... but only the shit i Like. I woldnt buy a manga or a dvd of somethung random, I find anime and manga in illegal sources, if i really I will buy everything i can of it |
| Smoke Weed Everyday |
| Once I'm financially stable again I plan to start getting merchandise, maybe like an item each month. For now it is just BDs,DVDs occasionally. |
 |
| Hell yeah I would. You have no idea how much my inner weeb wants to drown in Japanese shit. Browsing J-List just torments me with my empty wallet. There's also games I want (*cough* Digimon Story: Cyber Sleuth *cough* Danganronpa) that would require me buying a whole new console which sucks. |
| "No, son, you may not have your body pillow at the dinner table!" |
YasahiroUshioda said: Im poor and i buy merch ^^, love anime and want to prove im a fan. Didnt buy figures yet but posters and shirts (pijamas while im at home ^^) I have alot You don't have to buy something in order to be a fan of something. |
| It's really hard to buy here in the Philippines for example I'm buying an anime series or Visual Novel the price here is 30% to 40% higher and we don't have any credit card if I really want to buy it I must talk to my Dad's friend to ride on to his credit card and pay him. |
 |
| My income is pretty solid, even so, i'll stick to finding deals / sales on the shows that I like and will never by figurines. |
| Tonight, Synklare joins the hunt. |
| If I would have more money, I will buy a lot of things. Currently I only buy manga. |
 |
| If I had all the money, yes, but only those anime and mangas of my favorites (those i rate 7 and above). I'm not that into anime goods. Though I buy if I really find it cute. I used to buy action figures, but I've stopped being into them now. |
蒼穹を舞う。  |
| No I would not, I don't have the space for that. My first love is books so I already have bookshelves filled with them, my manga bookshelf... |
 |
| I would like to, but only after taking in consideration of the other aspects I have to encounter in life. You know, food, rent, bills, etc. Then again, even after all though, my funds tend to be quite scarce since I have to save up. |
 |
| if i wasnt poor and i had spare money then yes my whole room would be full of it by now |
| It's not that I'm poor, but too much of the stuff is overpriced. No point throwing my money away. |
 It's an entirely different kind of flying, altogether! It's an entirely different kind of flying. |
| I Guess Not.. Coz Hey When You Can Watch It For Free So.. Why To Waste Money.. |
 |
| I'm not poor . I'm just broke . There's a difference . But yes I would . |
| Wohooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo |
| I have a $25 gift card...I have yet to decide if I'll spend it on anything anime or manga. :p Plus my dad and mom are kinda busy now....so I can't really get to the store can I? xD |
| Yes, I would. In a heartbeat. But I'm poor as dirt. |
| Yeah I would more than likely stick with DVDs and Manga. I don't have any room for the figurines and other things |
| I wish I could. not just the financial, also the place I live. there are no anime stores here in this island where I live :D |
The world is cruel, ugly and pitiful. Let's watch anime and make it colorful |
Maz said: It's not that I'm poor, but too much of the stuff is overpriced. No point throwing my money away. This. They are really overpricing the products just because they know there will always be someone to buy it. I don't really like the way they abuse of it...even if that's just business. But well. If I would be really rich. I suppose there's a few things I'd like to get yes. |
| I'm not poor and I STILL refuse to buy anime DVDs. Everything else though such as clothing, figures,manga,light novels, visual novels etc etc? SURE. Anime DVDs are insanely overpriced for whatever reason and I really don't want to spend my money on all that. If you want an older anime and its out of print? Shit out of luck I especially don't feel the need when I'm a source material>adaptation sort of guy as well. I miss the time where you can work into best buy or blockbuster and buy an entire boxset for 25. My sis did that with Excel Saga & I'd kill for such simplicity again |
