(Special Feature) My Anime Collection

Since I have recently moved my collection to a place that I can show it off easier, when is a better opportunity to show it to you all then now?  Anytime probably, but whatever.  I recently acquired Kino’s Journey and I don’t plan on buying anything until the holiday season when huge anime sales make an appearance.  It’s going to be stagnant for a while with the exception of Escaflowne: The Movie, because I backed that Kickstarter.  With little further to do, here are some pictures.

-First series added to this collection: Gundam Wing (My brother bought them for me for my birthday a long time ago)

-First Series that I bought myself:  Strain and Ghost in the Shell: Stand Alone Complex Season 1.  I bought them at the same time from Best Buy.

-Favorites:  My Ghost in the Shell: Stand Alone Complex sets, Turn A Gundam sets, and Kino’s Journey.

–Series that I regret buying: Line barrels of Iron.  It’s a mech series that has no redeeming factors to it.

–Latest two series that I bought:  Fist of the North Star and Kino’s Journey

Just to tell you guys, I’m a huge cheap skate.  I’ve been slowly collecting anime over six years now and I only move on buying something when it’s at a price that I feel looks good.  I constantly keep an eye out for deals on Amazon and Right stuff.  That is why I don’t own many blu-rays or own anything from Aniplex and some of Funimation’s latest sets like Psycho Pass.  Also, I’m not sure if I want to replace things like Ergo Proxy and Code Geass with any of Funimation’s new releases.  When it comes to spending, I never splurge.  It’s just how I was raised.

You may notice that there is a bootleg dvd, Fullmetal Panic: Fumoffu, in my collection.  (If you want to know how you can tell, I can possibly make a post on that later).  Yeah, that is there for sentimental reasons.  This is something my brother owned before he passed away three years ago.  When I left home, that is one of the things that I brough with me to remember him.  I don’t plan on getting rid of it anytime soon.

So yeah, this is my small collection that is growing by smaller amounts all the time.  I think it’s very reflective of who I am.  There are some older series, a lot of Gundam/mech anime, some more obscure, some very popular movies and shows and somethings that recently came out.  If anything, I would like to see a glimpse of what other people currently own.  I’m not going to start something where people tag other people to see their collections, but if you are interested please do.
