I just spend $12 on a light novel. It has been a while since I have spent money on anime-related products.

I like dub more than sub because I am not a weeb.

I used to buy BluRays a lot back in 2017-18 for anime movies.

But since then I have spent $0 on anything anime related.

My crunchyroll and Funimation subscriptions add up to $168 a year. I also have Netflix, Hulu, and Amazon prime to watch anime but it’s not mainly used for anime.

I do want to start a manga collection but it’s so expensive and takes up a lot of space.

In the past probably a few hundred a year, but after a while I realised I don't actually enjoy any of it and stopped completely.

A guess would be around $100~$130-ish? Just the cost of my crunchyroll-vrv subscription for the year. Maybe an extra few 10s of dollars if I feel like getting the occasional monthly Funimation or Hulu sub. I don't count netflix and prime video because I have those by default for other shows.

I think I spent about 1,500 dollars on manga last year. Might be a little more or less depending on month. Would be probably less if it was not for covid and I could spend money on travelling, cinema, cafés and other stuff. Plus 72 dollars a year for Netflix.

I'm both a figure and blu-ray collector. Though I generally only buy around two figures a year, figure prices in addition to the ridiculous aniplex blu-ray prices and whatnot almost certainly put me over the thousand dollar mark. An expensive hobby, to be sure.

Last year I bought a DVD and a doujinshi which ended up costing me almost three times the original price thanks to expensive shipping from Japan and shitty custom duties in my country. I've decided to not buy any physical stuff from Japan ever again (my country doesn't sell anime stuff). Right now I only buy digital manga once in a while with points so effectively I don't spend anything on anime/manga.

I don't buy any manga/BD/LN, but I'll spend like 50-100 on figurines and other merch a year. Though it also depends whether there's anything that catches my eye.

I'm a collector, so a hell of a lot probably around a thousand or two. I usually buy an anime series or two every couple months and am collecting 4 manga that hardly ever release a volume because of constant hiatuses and 14 light novel series. I barely bought anything last year though due to the COVID lockdown burning through all my savings and generally nothing much that was worth buying being released anyway.

Depends on what content is being released, years ago I used to spent alot every month but these days I only buy limited edition anime on pre-orders and everything else is in the wishlist for a sale. Manga unless I really like the series where I can justify buying the paperback I usually buy them on Kindle for e-reading, buying them all in physical format takes up ALOT of space to the point half my collection has been sold off. Light Novels I still buy alot but it's getting annoying to buy with COVID restrictions and limited quantity being printed. To give an idea of my anime spendings.







I don't have decent shelving for my current manga/LN collection but about 2/3 of the manga is boxed away and what's out is in a really disorganized fashion.

If we’re talking, manga, it’s probably $30-$50 an omnibus volume.

Nowadays those things aren’t cheap.
