Have you ever paid for any anime merchandise?

Mom and dad spent millions on me buying me Saint Seiya, Pokemon and Digimon stuff. Toys, cards, clothing, and other junk.

When I turned 18, I used some money my parents had been saving for me til I got that age to buy the gorgeous and majestic Leo and Sagitarious Myth Cloth armours. MY PRECIOUSSS. Yeah, I used my parents' savings for me to buy that stuff.

I've bought some Ghibli movies too but I don't know if that counts.

Damn that's cute, I really want a ononoki figurine, I think I want to have figurines of all the monogatari characters aside from Hitagi.

other than a few manga, I bought this lovely Shinobu figure. I wanted on of Holo too, but they didn't have any withing reasonable price :(

Just manga and some DVDs that's about it ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ character limit

Lovaloo said:
I own almost every studio Ghibli movie, I have a small collection of anime DVDs, and I used my christmas cash to buy a few anime T-shirts that should be coming in the mail within the next week or so (outrageously slow shipping). Aside from that, I don't have much else. I'm not a very wealthy human being.

Pyravia said:
Should I start collecting too...? Or will it get addicting somehow? :3

rsc-pl said:
Yeah, you can check my profile description. I need to update those photos (especially with figurines), but I have a lot of manga volumes.
Yes, collecting things is very addictive.

Khaosman-ADVENT said:


It IS addictive. My figure display is too full and I make it a point to punch myself in the face the next time I think of buying another DVD. Seems to be working, I haven't bought a show in months and I watch streams instead.

Pyravia said:
Have you ever paid for anime in general? Like on Crunchyroll?

Lovaloo said:


I'll do you one better. My top three:

1. Castle in the Sky (appeals to me on every level, an all-time favorite)
2. Princess Mononoke (one of the most beautiful, biblical epics I've ever seen)
3. Spirited Away (a fascinating, surreal spin on the classic coming of age tale)

They're all 10s in my book.

Because it supports the creatores. :/ That way, you are helping keeping the anime living. Anime normally doesn't even recoup their budget. You should support 'em!

Why should i ? anime was, is and always will be made by Japanese for the Japanese, they don't give a shit about west. When some TV show has problems with sales it is always theirs home market which is to blame.

The first few episodes of Gintama drag a little bit because a lot of time is spent introducing the important characters, establishing their relationships, and setting up their backstories. So I'd say if you aren't "into" Gintama by around episode 20, you won't like it. It can be monumentally stupid, ridiculous, and occasionally racy, those qualities don't appeal to everyone. It's sense of humor can get repetitive, too. It's definitely not for everyone.

I need more merch tbh. Can never have enough of those.

OppaiSugoi said:
Nope, I torrent all my games (VN's and hyperdimension series), in addition to completed anime itself and maybe some OST collections. Call me a scumbag but "arrgh!"

Noragamigami said:
I have all the Noragami mangas, One ''My little monster'' and ''Assassination Classroom'' manga. A Hatsune Miku, Sailor Mars and Tomoko Kuroki figure. I plan to buy some anime DVD's too.

Pyravia said:
Like, I have manga and such, but I'm not sure if it counts.

If you have, what did you buy? :3

Raging_Berserker said:
Hell to the fucking NO!!!! I will never and I repeat NEVER pay for anything anime or manga related in my whole life. Be it merchandise, manga volumes, anime streaming websites or whatever else you can add into the mix. NEVER!!!!!!

Lovaloo said:


Well, I think a lot of people love Gintama because it's more than just a comedy anime. Though It's a shonen parody through and through, Gintama is not a bad shonen anime when played straight. It's got some awesome fighting scenes, several great antagonists who provide tension, surprisingly deep characters with interesting backstories, power struggles, all the good stuff you see in regular shonen anime. Gintama doesn't normally take itself seriously, but when it does get serious, it gets seriously epic. It's not a shonen on the same level of depth of FMA:B or Hunter x Hunter, but it's not trying to be. It's just trying to be intriguing and cool. In that regard, it succeeds.

You mean aside from my Collection?

I have a few posters (GITS; Akira, Kino's Journey, Gintama, Berserk, JoJo: DiU) and T-Shirts (Space Brothers, One Piece, Attack on Titan). That's pretty much it.

Pyravia said:
Yus! What kinda expression does Tomoko have on the figure? :3

Noragamigami said:


The one from the Watamote poster. This one

moondragon84 said:

Lovaloo said:


I always tell people to watch the original FMA before watching Brotherhood. The first 15 episodes of Brotherhood make a lot more sense if you watch the original first.
