Such as buy figurines, summarize them, or anything like anime and that to keep the memory of the anime in your head?

I'm asking because I've really gotten into anime and my list is growing rapidly and I don't want an anime to rot away in my memory.

I'd usually buy figurines/posters/pillows and stuff like that.
And I usually watch the anime first but if I want more of it then I'd read the manga too.

A little thing I like to call "buying the anime boxset",you probably never heard of doing such a thing.

Oh & Space Brothers is still the best anime ever,in my opinion.Even when competing with Attack on Titan.

I do the opposite XD It'd be better if I could erase my memories and then watch it all over again... But since that isn't possible, if I'm ever going to rewatch a series, I'll wait at least a few years~

There isn't much I'm doing other than watching specials and such... Maybe there are other adaptions (novels, drama CDs, ...), if so, I'd check them out. If the anime in question is an adaption, then I'm most likely not as much into it anymore, but I'd still collect official art and fanart, maybe watch some AMVs or so... :O

If I can't get the DVDs of a series, I do like to have something special from a series I like. Figures and such.

I immediately search for doujinshi and hentai right after finishing the last episode. It gives me a proper closure to the series if you know what I mean ^.^

that's about it really..

I find it quite strange that the first thing you do after finishing a series you loved is to look up porn of the characters. But maybe that's just because I can't stand lewd doujins in the first place.

My special anime is Evangelion. I've re-watched it 6 times & own a physical copy.
I also have a Red Z with the license plate "EVA-02" if that counts as doing something special lol.

First, I tale all of my clothes to prevent sweating too much from the excitement of watching. Then I lube up BEFORE starting, so as to not have to endure a stop-start viewing experience. After that, it's the same as normal--lie on my bed, watching my 42" TV play my anime files... and when the anime is good, life is good.

I used to buy anime DVDs; pre-ordering what was interesting. That stopped when the customs limit dropped from £18>£14 - making box set importing an impossiblity - and the only value-for-money import stores died (PlayUSA & Axel). And now that I have a Blu-ray player when no UK anime Blu-rays come out...

I'm not one to judge, but the name "Zechs" has some unfortunate phonetic implications.

This is good advice. Once during Boku no Pico, I forgot to lube myself up first and I accidentally the whole thing.

Word.

As an aside, Blue Flames is an obvious masterpiece and the fact it lies forgotten at the bottom of a dark, thick shaft only proves that anime fans cannot handle high art and are intimidated by the masculinity prominent in that OVA. Any child lucky enough to be born under the name "Blue Flames guy" is as blessed as if he were born on the 31st of October in Translyvania, the birth aided by a hitchhiker who afterwards mysteriously disappeared.

Buy it if I can. And LE if it's available.

There are few merchandise things I like to buy, but artbooks are one. And if there are any good wall scrolls, maybe that too. I don't really like figurines.

I don't even read them. I just look at the pictures and compare them to my imagination. It's quite relaxing I'd say.

When I was in Japan I bought the manga or light novel for most of my favourite anime (Fate/Zero, Madoka, Nodame Cantabile, FMA:B, Steins;Gate, Durarara!!, etc.). Just something nice to have, I guess. I wish I could buy DVDs as well but I don't really want to spend the money on them.

But mostly I read fanfics like no tomorrow.

I do that mid series, but that has to do to the boatload of ecchi I watch.

I'm looking at a new daki but I'll wait until Senran Kagura so I can get one of Yomi, I am kinda implying a daki would come that late despite the nature of the game and upcoming anime.

I fap to it.

As a child, I was told that society is a melting pot of talents; knowledge and experience combined to form important alloys that will contribute to mankind. When I got to highschool, however, I thought that it's more like a river in which the water represents our peers while we ourselves are the stones in the river. Constant erosion by mindless majority sheeping has made us lose our unique edge. After I hit the age of 18, I realized that I've been wrong all along. Society is no melting pot. Society is no river. Society is a person, a very skilled rapist, and he has fucked us all.
