Legitiment Purchases

just never go Japan route with Blu-ray releases please its so bad

I generally preview the anime on the streams and if I like it, I'll buy the series when it's out. grant it, my selection is very small. I only have XXXholic, Trigun, Berserk and Hellsing Ultimate right now. I've been meaning to buy Baccano! but I never get around to it. Mainly cause I can watch it whenever via Funimation channel

I have: Blood + Naruto boxset 1-25 maybe not sure their old. Bleach boxset 1-7 Trinity Blood Kiddy Grade Fullmetal Panic Fumoffu an the second raid Chrono Crusade Black Butler Karin Shakugan No Shana (geneon release) Shamanic Princess Night Walker Legend of Himiko Fullmetal Alchemist boxset 1-4 (I think? Might be 6, no 4?) Moon Phase Black Cat Nabari no ou Samurai Deeper Kyo Rurouni Kenshin Ranma 1/2 OVA Fruits Basket Es Otherwise Mythical Detective Loki Ragnorok Gokudo After those I think I just started downloading and streaming s***.

Amazon makes Funimation anime soooooo much cheaper. I'll buy from Best Buy or F.Y.E if the price is right. A lot of Sentai Filmworks is reasonably priced. My manga collections consists of Anime I've already watched. Barnes and Noble is currently doing the buy 2 get the 3rd free.

I don't mind that Barnes and Noble deal at all - in my area they have the biggest manga selection without ordering online.

Usually yeah, at least when it comes to games which are my main hobby. I honestly don't watch a ton of anime outside of streaming services because of how expensive it can be to purchase a lot of different series. I usually just concentrate most of my expendable income on one thing when it comes to collecting.

I'll sample a lot via streaming. But when I find a keeper, you'd best believe I buy to own. There is the sticking point of anime that they don't release over here. Then I may have to resort to my... "contacts" to procure certain "goods".

Well, even though I download them, I do plan on purchasing the legitimate copies of all the Animes I've downloaded. I don't have money to buy the actual disks at the moment. I prefer to watch Animes offline. I extremely dislike watching on Anime hosting sites due to reasons.

I'm hoping to save up money so I can manage to really start to build a collection of anime and manga stuff - these days I have to spend my money on a lot of more important stuff so much so that having proper spending money is a rare blessing.
