Total amount paid to anime/manga industry
| how much did you spend on anime/manga your entire life. I dont think i m much of a spender but when i tried to calculate the other day it looked like it was over 700$. so i was wondering about how much do people really spend on anime/manga merchandises? |
| So far, in my 1 year of my journey, absolutely zippo. This is mostly because I live in Australia, and you have to go out of your way much. I would buy a dakimakura if it showed up on my ad list. I would probs buy a visual novel for pc, or look on ebay and get some cartridges for the DS.... I would be more interested in second-hand mange if it was in English, but again, Australia..... |
| idk about you but the closer a girl gets to looking like ronald mcdonald, the more aroused i become. CAV where can we cast our eyes to @PoruMairu who thinks of himself a member of the true church. Helion. |
| I just have the first volume of Bleach and it was a birthday gift lol, I intend to buy more with my money though. |
"At some point, I stopped hoping." |
| Just around a total of $80 on manga (I've bought 5 volumes and an anthology). But I've never bought original anime. |
| I probably spent almost $4,000 on anime and manga. |
 |
| About a hundred. Cowboy Bebop Session/Volume 1 DVD (Ep 1-5) - 30 dollars Cowboy Bebop Session/Volume 6 DVD (Ep 22-26) - 30 dollars Those were over twelve years ago, when I was still a teenager. More recently... Nausicaa of the Valley of the Wind boxset - 37.98 dollars |
| um, i think 15$ to get a rare code(s) for this one app i play ' ^ ' -- manga for merchandise, idk probably 50$ i don't think it's a lot, and it's usually just cute little stuff like keychains and buttons |

| Excluding my Final Fantasy XII wall scroll, I've spent exactly $0 on anime or anime-esque items. |
| Now I see the secret of the making of the best persons. It is to grow in the open air and to eat and sleep with the earth. -Walt Whitman A human being should be able to change a diaper, plan an invasion, butcher a hog, conn a ship, design a building, write a sonnet, balance accounts, build a wall, set a bone, comfort the dying, take orders, give orders, cooperate, act alone, solve equations, analyze a new problem, pitch manure, program a computer, cook a tasty meal, fight efficiently, die gallantly. Specialization is for insects. -Robert A. Heinlein |
| Excluding anime figures and other character merchandise, I've probably paid around $250-$450 to the anime/manga industry. (mainly the manga industry) |
| Not really sure. I have some bds, vhs and manga titles. A lot, since some of them are more than 15 years old (those vhs tapes tho) and I've been following the medium for long. Oh, and pokemon cards. |
| I live in Poland so I won't count in dollars, but for what it's worth I'm quite an enthusiast already. Then again, most of my collection are manga volumes, so it doesn't look as impressive as shelves full of figures I guess. |

| I guess I've spend around 200 euro's. That's about 225 us dollars. |
| With Figurines alone, I have already spent over 1000 Euros. Then at least several hundreds for Manga, a few hundreds for Anime and a few Dozen Euros on other Merchandise like Games or CDs. That's somewhere between 1000 Dollar and 5000 Dollar. |
| Probably at least $1,000, and my collection is still puny compared to the ones I see on YouTube. |
| "No, son, you may not have your body pillow at the dinner table!" |
| About £80 im not a big collector of anime stuff its all over priced and theres too much of it out there. |
 |
| Gornisht.Like seriously none at all, I'm a cheapskate and I don't exactly have the kind of money to spend it on such things as manga, something which I can access for free on the internet.Yes I'm fully aware of the fact that it's not the right thing to do but if I can't do something anyway then I might as well be a twat and start looking for backdoor ways. |
