Collecting Anime On Physical Media – VHSs, DVDs, and BluRays

Physical media for the win. Some anime I will buy upfront, if it appeals. Other anime I will buy after the streaming cause I loved it. Other anime I will stream and decide, meh.

I just bought Code Geass. I wanna buy Re:Zero in the near future when I have more budget room. Some anime can be SUPER expensive, though… I imported Macross Delta because it had English subs. Each BluRay had I think 3 episodes of 26 and were about $60 a piece or so… I don’t recommend that route unless you are really interested.

I get most of my stuff from RightStuf now. They have regular flash sales, so you can get things at good prices if your lucky. I just pre-ordered El-Hazard for like $25 bucks. Good deal.

@Roas well in my defense it was several years ago lol. The boxes are damn pretty.

Hopefully new releases are dubbed. After spending THAT kind of dough, I don’t need a second set of Delta otherwise, though I might. Just to keep Macross coming.

Well, RightStuf is having a 77% off sale right now. When I ordered Code Geass, I got the full series for $40 under a different sale. Thats a respectable price.

I am collecting anime like it’s going out of fashion in the space of 2 months I have bought , I want to eat your pancreas, Wolf children, Paprika, Graveyard of the fireflies, Okko’s , The girl who leapt through time, Summer wars, In this corner of the world, My neighbor Totoro, Spirited away, Arrietty, Princess Mononoke and Howls moving castle. Almost forgot I am getting your name later today.

I’ve got A few of Studio Ghibli’s stuff on dvd such as ‘Spirited Away’, ‘Princess Mononoke’, ‘Whisper of the Heart’, ‘The Cat Returns’, ‘Howl’s Moving Castle’ and ‘My Neighbour Totoro’ on blue-ray/dvd. I’ve got the first five Pokemon films on dvd. I’ve volume one of the first series of Pokemon on blue-ray. So yea, I’ve mostly got a lot of Studio Ghibli and Pokemon stuff lol. Sadly, it’s hard to get animi here in the UK. When ‘Spirited Away’ first came out 20 years ago my mum had to order it from the US because it was even harder to get animi on physical format back then.

I have a limited budget too, so I buy blu-rays with anime which for sure I gonna re watch at some point. Already collected quite a few like Death Note, Code Geass, Attack on Titan, all Makoto Shinkai movies, Konosuba, That Time I got Reincarnated as a Slime, Rising of a Shield Hero, Ergo Proxy, Elfen Lied, Steins Gate + Movie, Re Zero, Goblin Slayer, Ghost in the Shell (2 movies and SAC+movie) and 3 Dragon Ball movies (Gods, F and Broly). So now saving up money for Steins Gate 0, Dr Stone, Demon Slayer, Garden of Sinners, Fate Zero, Sword Art Online. Yea, they are quite expensive, so I try to make it count. :D
