How much anime are you hoarding?
| Only got two series that I downloaded. One of them I have already finished. I'm keeping them for emergencies. I mainly watch streams because whenever I want to watch anime, I'm home anyways. |
 |
| I only have 2 titles downloaded, they are Fullmetal Alchemist and One Piece: Mamore! Saigo no Dai Butai. I have these downloaded completely by chance, I don't like downloading. I prefer streaming. |
Not much.  267GB. Only downloading currently airing ones and the ones i really like and are rewatchable. |
| I have no space on my computer due to games, my own videos etc. I have all of a few series that were pre-installed on my computer like Cowboy Bebop, Gundam etc. and a few Ghibli films. Other than that I just have a few loose episodes I downloaded for whatever reason in the past. |
| I've just realized it says 1,5TB (272 series in total) - time to do some cleaning I guess. |

| Streaming is pain to me and usually I use torrents. I do see the difference in quality between streamed video and downloaded and I hate to depend on my browser. Talking about the space anime takes... it's about 2TB. Some of the shows I'll delete after they let me down and some will keep forever *_* |
| the answers to the poll are more even that i'd have thought |
 |
| Personally; I have never downloaded anime. I prefer the streaming method. Netflix seems to be adding a lot more titles lately so that's good news for me! |
| Probably 300+ series by now.. around 992 GB at the moment. Hard to find decently subbed ones since I don't really wanna settle for horrible subs ones. |
 Even if the future awaiting me is so bright that it's blinding, If I'm to face it alone, there's no real meaning in it.. ♫♫ |
| I download pretty much everything (that i want to watch) as long it's not licensed in my country. For everything else i use the legal streaming services. |
| I like anime, games and music. |
| I do not count animes that i have downloaded. But, it's a lot. Around 12Tb External HDD full of Bluray rips anime, and 500GB on my computer full of 720p anime. There's like tons of series that i've downloaded but i have not finished watching all the animes. |

| I no longer stream than I used to because our internet here is shitty and ridiculously expensive. Had downloaded around 50 series as I can recall until my former PC broke unexpectedly and I have yet to recover them in my hard drive if it's still possible. I unfortunately didn't have an external HDD that time, so I'm gonna buy one sometime. I'm still bringing the numbers back and I've downloaded 13 series as of this post... |
 |
| I only download anime that if for some reason I was never able to watch anything online again I would be able to re-watch if I wanted to. Right now that's just my rated 10 TV series. |
| I stream it from you know where :P ........................................................ |
 |
| 1000+ including Movies, OVAs, and Short Animations |

| The size doesnt say that much because it varies a lot depending on the definition you are downloading the series.I have downloaded around 600gb in this computer but its all in 480p meaning its at least 3 times the anime compared to someone who has 600gb in 1080p. Wish i could also watch at 1080p though ^_^ |
  |
| I have 140gb on DVDs and 60gb on my PC. I mostly download .mp4 files from certain sites. I never stream anime because I don't want to and I can't afford streaming services. But, I do watch anime on TV on a channel called 'Animax'. Its a 24 hour anime channel. No ads, and only one 1-minute break. Plus they also show Japanese music videos after every anime ep ends, so that's a bonus. The rest is on DVDs If the anime or movie has a sequel or TV series, its in the respective franchises' folder. |

| Almost all shows have been downloaded, only very little shows are streamed. Some guesstimation math here... currently 492 completed and usually 12 eps and probably around 300mb per ep... I'd say 1.7 TB. #TorrentMasterRace |

Not much. 157 GB. (Includes per season icons as well... lol.) I just download a few series I handpick from my list and get to watching. Already finished Clannad / DBZ / DB GT / OreImo (Also already seen High School DxD, but I wanted to rewatch it, subbed instead of dubbed.). I don't think I'll delete them though, might just keep for potential rewatching. I plan to get a hard drive soon for media solely. (Not mainly for anime, but rather for video recordings of gameplay for yt and such. But may as well put anime on it too, away from my main drive.) Especially rather not delete stuff that took forever to download. I also stream though in conjunction. My internet is fine, but I just prefer local. Servers aren't always the best from what I've experienced amongst sites and I end up getting buffering/lag. |

Etzel said: I really love it when there are folder icons for anime series. I kind of have a OCD for naming most of my anime in their original Japanese titles, searching for the best folder icons and just looking at them. Makes me feel.... accomplished, I guess.Probably 300+ series by now.. around 992 GB at the moment. Hard to find decently subbed ones since I don't really wanna settle for horrible subs ones. Your collection with the icons looks awesome!! |

I got OCD too and I might end up doing the same thing with the titles (but I just hate how messy it'd look cuz of those long named LNs). |

| Currently have 800GB worth of anime downloaded |
| Currently, not much. 233 GB of movies. 70 GB of series. Azumanga Daioh The Big O season 1 Cowboy Bebop Future Boy Conan Gundam 0080 Oruchuban Ebichu Tatami Galaxy I wouldn't have deleted so many of the ones I had if my storage hadn't been so limited back then. I wanna redownload some of them eventually, now that I have a huge archive of movies and some TV shows. |

| I don't store anime, I delete them after I watch them. Used to collect everything I watched on 4 hard drives but when they started crashing one after the other I didn't want to have to buy 4 new hard drives every 2 years or so so I just stopped. I'd probably need like 10 hard drives by now anyway. It was already 2TB+ back then and I was at maybe 700 anime on my list. As for what I have downloaded and ready to watch, usually a handful of series (not counting airing shows) and another handful of movies/OVAs. Along with western movies and series. My download folder is pretty diverse. But I try not to get overzealous and download a million series in advance. Never found that to be necessary, if I have a few options to start + all my currently watching stuff I usually always find something I want to watch. I probably downloaded like 20-30TB of anime over the decades. Mayb 2 TB per year? Hard to say though since I use my Vuze stats for that and it of course also includes non-anime downloads. |
| I probably regret this post by now. |
| When i just started watching anime i downloaded everything, but now i always stream. |
 |
| I have at least 1TB worth of anime. My friends are usually the ones benefitting since I prefer streaming. |

| I have 100+ GB worth of anime series (720p whenever possible) which I plan to watch. But most of them are just freaking 12 or 24 episodes long so I am not even close to being a "pro downloader". 20+ GB worth of anime movies (again 720p). However here, I am not planning to delete them. Could be useful as recreational activity with some of friends in future. 35+ GB worth of manga but there are like 10 times more titles compared to the anime. Also plan to delete them once read. And finally maybe 100+ MB of anime OSTs. Honestly, knowing my internet speed (128KBps max), I am awestruck by how much I managed to download in a span of 2 months. |

|
| I download everything unless it's still airing (It's a pain in the ass) I have like 30+. |
| Liking traps is gay and liking Lolis is Pedophila. Come at me bruh! |
| I watch on my phone so I don't have enough space to keep em all. I stream or download depending on my internet speed, if I download then only keep the episodes I like and rename it to why I liked this episode and delete the rest. |
 |
| I have like 500gb of anime, but having that much downloaded is sorta annoying, you don't know what to watch next so I have plenty accumulated shows and On-hold ones lol But my internet is shit, so I can't stream unless it's 3 a.m Have waited till that time to stream some, but that routine is tiring, so I'll rather staying with my compulsive accumulation. |

|
| I'm more of a download-and-delete person. Of the 700+ completed anime I have seen, at least 600 of those were downloaded. |

Pullman said: I don't even understand myself either. I just have this feeling of taking my download for granted since I think I can watch it anytime so I end up watching none.

I'm impressed you have the money and space for those DVDs. I also prefer burning anime on DVD instead of the HDD. I will also strive to have a collection as big as yours. |

 well, i need to write some rondom comment here... |

|
| I started downloading anime since January 2014, by now I have 473 anime downloaded. They're all saved in my external HDD, planning on buying a 5 tb one soon. |
 |
Looks so nice~ where do you get the icons? I can once tried to do it like that but most of the ones I found were of old anime yet not the ones I wanted lol |
| Cuteness > Everything else Cuteness is Love, Cuteness is Life |
I thought 580gb was a lot... You got my respect, dude... |
| Cuteness > Everything else Cuteness is Love, Cuteness is Life |
| Get on my level, yer casuals. 2959 entries (TV, movies, specials, OVAs etc), 718 days' worth, approx. 20TB as of writing. All on 5 full HDDs and a sixth that I started filling recently. Also @DmonHiro your collection is backup goals, how much did those DVDs set you back? Blank -R DVDs have become more expensive in my country recently, probably because they aren't used as much. |

Generally tends to be deviantart. |

| A grand total of 3tb data, meh. My brother hold most of the collections, I only keep ones I havent watch or have high rewatch values. I also have some blu-ray/boxes but it's nothing grand yet. |
 |
| Not a single one. I buy everything or watch on free TV. |
