Just a simple question.
As for me I have approx 420 tape bought from Suncoast or other video
retailers, about 10 fan-subs and 5 DVD's. Just more info I have about 10
CD's worth of anime music.
Now what about you?

Wow, makes my collection seem downright skimpy. :) I have about 120 or so
tapes, probably about a half dozen fansubs, four DVDs (with likely at least
4 more on the way) and about a half dozen CDs.

About 80 pro tapes, half a dozen fansubs, about a dozen DVDs, and about 10
anime music CDs.

I have 29 tapes.

I would have more, but a lot of stuff is not available in Australia or is
rediculously expensive.
(Eg Viz tapes are $55 each)

About 106 commercial tapes. (39 of which are all 77 eps. of Star Blazers.)

And about 20 fansubbed tapes.

About 40 LDs, 4 DVDs (no DVD player yet though... ????? ^_^), and 15 CDs of
which 2 are NorthAmerican releases.

Oh, and about 1.5GB of anime intros and trailers to boot!

More or less,

Hmm at last count around 50 commercial tapes (sold most of them in
anticipation of dvds), 400 or so fansubs (which I will gladly replace
with dvds ASAP), and around 500 unsubbed tapes. When you throw in the
DVDs, VCDs, and various eps on CD I'm WELL over 1000 tapes :) All this

I don't bother counting all my tapes, because I don't care that much.
A hundred or so videos I really care about. A couple hundred videos
in my closet that I don't care about so much. 90% subtitled 9% raw
1% dubbed. Mainly subtitles in other words. :) 4 Nuku Nuku CD's,
The Best of Anime CD. Pokemon CD's. DB mange 25-42. 10 random
volumes of Bastard. 10-15 volumes of Ranma 1/2. Bunch of Doramon
manga from when I was a kid. Nuku Nuku manga.
Ghost Sweeper Mikami manga. You're Under Arrest manga.
Sailor Moon manga. Newtype Nuku Nuku TV 100% Complete. Cammy Gaiden.
Anime movie guide. Samuri From Outer Space. Bunch of Newtype and
Anime V going back to like 1992 or so. Some European anime magazine
with Nuku Nuku on the cover. Some Animerica. Some of the Viz Ranma
1/2 and Urusei Yatsura stuff from 1994-1995. DBZ 2, DBZ 3, Bastard!,
Ranma 1/2 SFC games. Doramon, DB FC games. Bunch of Kinnikuman toys.
Nuku Nuku, Lina Inverse, and Cammy figures. 2 or 3 DBZ card decks.
1 Sailor Moon card deck. DBZ, Sailor Moon, Slayers, Nuku Nuku posters.
Bunch of cards and stickers from DBZ, Sailor Moon, and Pokemon.
Probably more stuff, but that is all I can think of off the top of
my head w/o looking around. Someday soon I will get a DVD player.

I lost count a long time ago. What's more, I don't want to count anymore
because that would remind me of the enormous sum of money that went in

waaaaay too much. I collect laserdiscs, mostly imports.

Makes a dent in the wallet like you wouldn't believe.
I'm just about at the point when I'm about to stop
collecting because the new stuff isn't appealing to
me as much. I might buy the domestic DVDs as
I find them (and as they strike my intersest) from
now on...

But I do cherish my KOR TV LD box set, Evangelion
set, and Escaflowne set along with the rest...

The existence of such a huge collection is not what frightens me, but rather
that you took the time to type up such a monstrous list :)

They're subtitled videos made by fans. Basically, they're copies off of the
Japanese original release with English subtitles added on with the help of
some special computer program.

My one room is almost filled with those books... Although my friends

It's in 21 volumes as of yet, unless another volume has come out since
June.

Heh. You're like my mom, in that you call DVD's "tapes" and it bugs me for
some reason I can't figure out.

I just refer to VHS as "tapes" since I assume they're called that due to
having a reel of magnetic tape inside of the plastic exterior, upon which
the video and audio is stored.

If you want a term for VHS, DVD, and LD, I'd just use "Videos".

o_O Isn't that about only $27US? That's actually cheaper, compared to our
prices... But at least you guys get glossy, protective, clamshells for each
and every tape! The cardboard pieces of crap we get in the states get
damaged and frayed so easily...

I find it surprising that I can find EVA in like every single video
store/Target. And disturbing, considering that at one bookstore, each tape
was only $24AUS (About $15USA) but unfortunately, they were all dubbed and
PAL. =\

Dangit, I've been down here for 6 weeks, living off my Slayers TRY tape,
Ninja Scroll/GiTS dubbed on the World Movies channel, and the

It couldn't have been... I had to hold off on a shipment of manga in
July until vol. 21 came out. Trust me on this one - I've been on
Hitoshi Doi's mailing list for said series since 1996, as well as it
being my favorite manga series.

I guess the video games and posters don't count. I'm not including

Hmm, I have a *very* outdated picture of my tape collection. It's mostly
all intact and it grew a lot, and I still haven't watched 40 percent of it.

Were it not for the fact that, as well as buying things in AUD, we get
*paid* in AUD as well...

PAL's better, unless you're Neil Nadelman :) . You should have a
multi-system player; we all do, and it's better if you like HK films [Yay
SBS!]. Some people can pick up the lower framerate, but if you can't [like
me!] you get *much* higher resolution, effectively for free...

Roughly 500 tapes and about a dozen DVD's... got a fair amount of CDs too
but I wouldn't want to put an exact number. My catalog is well out of date
now (haven't updated it in at least a year now!) but you can get an idea
of what I have from the Retreat catalog...

Ha! All you fools complaining about only owning 8 or so VHS tapes and a
few DVDs....

I have Cowboy BeBop vol. 1 (subtitled) and Katsuhiro Otomo's "Memories"
fansubbed.

AHA!! Beat THAT!

O' course, like someone else pointed out, I do a lot of renting. There's
an AWESOME video store nearby which has a very large anime collection (most
of it subbed! Whee!). Really helps spare what little budget I have.

No wait, I also have that nifty Ruri Hoshino poster.... That counts for
something, right...?
