Then it just becomes a matter of what movie I want to watch. that's kind of hard to say, as i tend to like all the formats i have on each one's individual merits. i do have a fair number of doubles across formats... it is to be expected. i enjoy having them all, especially 1st edition 1980's VHS and the more exotic LD special editions of some of my old favorites... |

Also, I've always wondered. It seems that the TV's and speakers are being skimped on.

Can someone explain me otaku? Is it the dolls or massive anime collection? |

supposedly, -at one time, at least- in Japan "OTAKU" was a slanderous title of often dangerously negative consequence, though i don't believe it is the same today. in the U.S. in the late 90's/early 00's OTAKU became THE cutting edge title in vogue for the serious hardcore Anime fan, and it has since, -much as it has in Japan, i believe- become the catch-all title for the Anime fan in general, sort of gaining and losing value all at once... |

Every person on this forum is otaku. Some are less terrifying and pathetic than others. |

As long as the collection is not more importen then your family and friends, then its no problem I think. I see no problem with collecting. And all these items are time documents of a popular culture that will vanish in the pace of digital media grow. And if no one collected them, they would end up in the dumpster. |

I was googling Japanese Otaku Room pictures just for kicks after seeing this wonderful thread, and came across this website (which I found while doing an image search for "カードキャプターさくら ld" of all things) http://www.sakurachan.org/av/equip/ ... All I can say is... sugoi. The owner of that website must have been RICH to afford all that amazing gear. Granted, this was posted sometime in 2002 according to his/her main site, so maybe most of that is gone now. edit: There's actually a lot of other neat stuff on this person's main site, like comparisons between different video cassettes (VHS/Beta, etc.) and different models of VCRs and DVD players. http://www.sakurachan.org/av/index.html I'm currently reading through it via Google Translate. Great stuff! |

Partly because I have a reputation as "the anime LD guy" (for instance, I bring a player & some selections to conventions to put on a program of "classics, the overlooked, and the justifiably obscure"), people have had a tendency to offer me discs they were getting rid of, at very cheap rates. I picked up an entire collection of about 200 discs for the cost of postage from one fellow who said he just hadn't played them in a long time, & didn't need them taking up shelf space. |

Also, that gold rush with Surugaya. Geez, I picked up SO many anime LDs during that time, most at around %5-10 of original retail. I'm *still* having a hard time believing I finally have a Ghibli ha Ippai and only payed $70. |

I've bought several lots of SFC games through Rakuten, maybe I should start looking for LDs too... I've been getting all my LDs from Yahoo Auctions, so shipping and proxy fees are included and vary a lot. At least through Rakuten I'd get a better shipping estimate!Are the LD sales from Surugaya still going on? You speak of it in past tense... |
