What anime have you spent the most real money on? Either on dvd's or merch, or maybe even just paying to watch it on a streaming site. Doesn't matter how, just whatever you spent the most money money on.

Easily Trigun and Digimon. The two characters I've spent the most amount of money are Vash (obviously) and Beelzemon. Think I've spent over a thousand on Beelzemon figures alone and there's very few pieces of Vash merch I don't have, and I have an entire floor length rope of Vash keychains attached to my bag. So many goddamn Vpets and Digivices, too....

CCS is also up there, but mostly just because my Yue figure was just that expensive, lol. Same with my Neptunia stuff, I have a rather pricey Purple Heart and the first print of the Neptune nendoroid.

If we count non-anime but anime adjacent merch, Vocaloid is definitely up there in terms of figures and software. Also got quite a bit of Touhou stuff and I've spent quite a bit on iDOLM@STER.

I don't care about the anime. I always buy figures of the
Hottest girls with biggest tits.

I have a lot of league stuff though

I haven't been counting but it's probably dragon ball (one figure, lots of video games, some manga volumes) and even if it isn't at the moment it will soon be when I get all the manga volumes.

Take a guess. C'mon. Somebody take a guess. This one's easy.

I didn't buy enough stuff to save Arms Studio, but still.

Spent easily upwards of 2000$ on jojo merch. I have around 20 Bruno figures, there are only a couple I'm missing, and every Risotto. I'm working on the rest of La Squadra now. Along with some shirts and some Kira figures. Its not really that much tbh I've been collecting them for the past 5 almost 6 years so its like 400$ a year. Aside from an Ita bag I made for Shiriashi from Collar x Malice I don't really buy other merch.

My most expensive figure by far is Yui Mikoze w/ Uogokoro-kun from LocoDol. Paid... $1000 for it, IIRC

But overall, I think my answer is JoJo. Between all the seasons on DVD/Blu-ray (and the live-action DiU movie too), all the volumes of Phantom Blood's manga and me having more JoJo figures than any other series, I'd say I've spent about... ~$3500 more on it? Add the price of a Netflix subscription for STONE OCEAN and Thus Spoke Kishibe Rohan too, and it's even more expensive

This is the set i bought a while ago from Rakuten (i think) when they were still offering international shipping:
They are supposed to wobble their heads when exposed to sunlight, but i think the set i got is kinda defective, one of them barely wobbled and now i think it stopped completely, one works perfectly and one worked at first then didn't really work for a while but now it does again but with somewhat less intensity than the other one.

Kyo Kara Maoh - Before I ended up hating the series for what the author and editor did I used to be a huge fangirl and bought those expensive Japanese BluRay Box sets, animate special DVDs and drama CDs, musical DVDs, artbooks, data books, doujinshis (by the original author), manga and LNs. I've literally spent a fortune on this piece of garbage.

Hey, cool! Another Yugioh junkie.

Are you a casual player or competitive? Or do you just collect cards you liked in the anime, like i do?

Any favorite cards? I collect the Harpie's and Insects.

Does the fact that I own quite many One Piece manga volumes count towards "spend on anime"? I also own a One Piece t-shirt.

If not, then I do own a lot of Moomins merch (mostly because that stuff can be easily found from any store around here lol) like hoodies, plushies, mugs, but they are more like stuff just basically everyone around here owns, not so much thought of as "Anime merch"

I'm more about collecting and playing for fun so definitely a casual.

I love cards from the main series, like Exodia or Yugi's, and magicians, especially Dark Magician, Arcanite Magician and Gagaga's.
My next deck will be an Inzektor because I just love their super sentai aesthetic, did you get them too ?

Saki. My Atarashi Ako figurine was worth over $100 to top it off I also had an Atarashi Ako dakimakura. I also have a Kunihiro Hajime dakimakura. I'm not proud of my dakimakuras though but they make great pillow sheets for my big pillow.
