If you have a shitty old analog TV, yeah. However watching DVDs upscaled to 1080p (deinterlaced) can look pretty good.
Besides, not all anime is on Blu Ray...

Three Ghiblies on DVD: Nausicaa, Only yesterday, Whisper of the heart.

And downloaded:



And that's it. I calculated the total amount in similar threads before, should only add my last 3-4 downloads.

I wouldn't name that "my collection", though, because I tend to keep what I download, regardless if I like it or not.

Given that I don't think the number of different anime on bluray here in the UK has even hit a hundred yet...

And if you're getting DVD at 576i (PAL)/480i (NTSC) then you'll be getting blurays at low quality too. If you can play them at all that is.
There is no such thing as shit taste. Only idiots who think everyone should have the same taste as they do.

On DVD, or BD: 515 various series, movies and OVAs
Digital (Legal Download): 1 Series
Digital (Legal Grey): 76 Titles (309GB)
Digital (Licensed Illegal): 0

I prefer legal methods and physical media and am a DVD and Blu-ray collector so I have a lot more of that then digital stuff. I also don't download things that are licensed in the US here. If I do download anything, it's legal or unlicensed. Any unlicensed work I've watched and saw fit to keep also gets deleted once the show is licensed.

I have more DVDs than Blu-rays at the moment and for me it's mostly about having a physical, legal copy while also being able to watch it on my macbook.

And also, I'd rather better sound quality than video quality any day. Oh and I've posted about this in another thread, but ~12 series on DVD and Blu-ray and 9Gb on my harddrive, though like most, I delete what's on my harddrive after I've watched it.

I only have a few BD-only releases myself. Mostly because DVDs are cheaper and save me money so I have more money to buy more anime. Second, DVD's have greater portability. If I have to choose between the two formats, then I'm going to go with the one that plays on my laptop, which is DVD. If I want to watch a BD I have to use my player at home. Combo packs are what I prefer.

I have around thirty physical DVDs, all but about three are complete collections of an entire series as I see no point in spending more money on separate 'volumes'. Seven are of ambiguous legality (came from Chinatown) but the rest are all definitely genuine. I don't download anime at all (except for a few movies) and try to purchase every series that I enjoyed.

Not much at all. I plan on wasting most of my money later on in life on manga and anime dvd's though.

Haha of course I enjoy it, I just expressed myself in the wrong manner. :)

Here is my delicious, tiny, dusty little anime shelf.



From left to right:

Melancholy of Haruhi Suzumiya, Samurai Champloo (from my "I'm rich and can buy anything" phase), Bokusatsu Tenchi Dokuro-chan (which I'm told is rare but idk I haven't looked into that), Fullmetal Panic the 2nd Raid (won it in an AMV contest at Megacon 2010 for honorable mention LOL), Berserk, Cowboy Bebop movie, Cowboy Bebop: The Perfect Sessions, Hellsing Ultimate IV Limited Edition with Rip Van Winkle cover and artbook, Neon Genesis Evangelion Platinum Collection (which I guess is also rare), Neon Genesis Evangelion Death and Rebirth, Neon Genesis Evangelion The End of Evangelion, Evangelion 1.11 blu-ray, Evangelion 2.22 blu-ray, and then the limited super editions of Katanagatari blu-rays that NISA released with artbooks and the sickest blu-ray menus ever.

I also have the Chinese version of Evangelion 2.22 because it came out before the American version and had some English subs that came with it.

I'm actually very proud of my collection. But I have more merchandise than DVDs. For series oh god..I have like 30 compete series..like box sets. Somewhere between 200-300 single DVDs and VHS. Around 100 volumes of manga..I usually read it online. But yeah most of my collection is merchandise. I have like 100 posters up in my room. Which include wallscrolls and some a small as postcards so they aren't all big. I have like 30 plushies..not including pokemon..if I include pokemon it would be like 50 more.
Like 60 figures. But most being around 3 inches. Also not including pokemon. Bags, t shirts, games, art books, and a ton of other stuff. But I rather collect merchandise than series. I can just watch them online. But I try and buy my favorites.

Eh...about 518GB digital. I've got a ton of DVDs, but they're all in random boxes/file cabinets/drawers. Living in a small apartment sucks.

I have two totes that are filled exclusively with Slayers merchandise I've picked up over the last 12 years. Spent roughly around $1500 just on that stuff, maybe more. I'll have to sort through it at some point.

As for manga, which I don't have a list for yet...


This pic is about 4-5 years old. Not all the stacks are single series, some are stacked on top of others...ran out of room xD. The collection has grown a bit since then, but again, everything is in random boxes. :<

I also have the novel adaptations of Slayers and Seikai no Monshou (Crest of the Stars)

One day...all shall be sorted...and I shall have my glass cases.
