[quote name='Royal High Knight']There's one piece. If I may ask Squarehard, what's so special about the Deluxe Edition?[/QUOTE]

Soundtrack, special features disc, booklet, and it's a steelbook, so not bad.

And more One Piece stuff tomorrow too. ^__^

More questions...

Where do you store it all? Storage unit?

What do you do to afford it all? (Serious question, might need to get into whatever field you are in)

Best estimate what do you spend per year on anime? Total you think you have spent lifetime?

I watch about 50 hours of anime a week nowadays, so I get through quite a bit, but some of it is catching up with ongoing anime series, and the other time spent watching what I have.

I don't work anymore now, but I do have some investments that gives me income each month, and that's what I use for spending. I've gone back to school since I've stopped working so I have tons of time to kill nowadays.

I've only started to buy anime in the past 2 years since I was mainly intent on building up a game collection before that. I think I spent about $8k on anime last year, and so far this year I'm at $6431 so far on anime.

So I guess if you add them both together that's like roughly $14k so far in the past couple of years?

I do like collecting stuff. ^__^

[quote name='Survivalism']I wish I loved anything as much as you love anime.[/QUOTE]

It's more or less a love hate relationship, although it's more love than hate most of the time. ;P

I wish you were one too. :*(
 
Thanks for the reply square. Watching anime is basically your job if you watch that much each week. :)

Pretty impressive all around.

May i ask what you do to spend 8k a year on anime? To think all the bandai anime you may own will be worth a lot (damn you scalpers and why did bandai entertainment have to leave us?)
 
Hurray for anime!

I'm pretty open to watching almost any anime, so if it's available for purchase I'll probably buy it and watch it. The bandai stuff I got awhile back so the stuff I already have wasn't really in anticipation of them going out of print. But as long as I can see myself watching the anime (not necessarily dependent on if I will like it or not) I will go ahead and pick it up.
 
It's definitely something I'd recommend you watch, and if you were going to buy it I'd stay away from trying to buy the blu since its so god damn expensive.
 
[quote name='ZombieToast']Nice, I didn't even know they made an anime of The Girl Who Leapt Through Time. Might have to check that out.[/QUOTE]

Also note that Bandai Entertainment, the people publishing it in the states, is going out soon (Nov. 30), but a lot of their stuff is selling out quick (NOOOO!!!) so you may have to act quick on it. That is what im having to do with some of their stuff.
 
[quote name='Squarehard']I wasn't even aware 999 changed to a different cover.

Weird...[/QUOTE]

Ya they reprinted and changed the cover
 
Got this today at a local thirft store for about $5 and some change. Think I did pretty good.
Not liking how Wave Race is in a Hollywood Video case but it was only a $1 so I can't complain.

[quote name='KtMack23']Here's my pick ups. My mom was pissed about Yakuza, wants me to return it. I think not.[/QUOTE]
Why? Is she an Xbox fangirl?


[quote name='Squarehard']I wasn't even aware 999 changed to a different cover.

Yeah, they decided to turn it into an official series called Zero Escape, so they updated the cover to reflect that. The sequel comes out on Tuesday.

I'm not really a fan of the new cover either, so I immediately ordered my copy before the new version hit stores.
 
This week's pickups. Town Hall from Target sale, Mugen Souls from NISAmerica, Games from price matching TRU, and blurays from Gohastings.

How much did the Town Hall set you back? I always thought the modular sets would be good for setting up zombie outbreaks...

Then again I'm the type who sees the Grand Emporium as adaptable into a Silent Hill 3 mall--I just need more mannequins dammit!

It was $163.38 after tax. I'm buying up modulars I want to build when I have room. Not planning on a zombie theme =P

That's not bad; another thing I like about the modulars is that they give you a real healthy amount of pieces (for detailing) that lesser sets tend to skimp on.

[quote name='Squarehard']Are you sure that's enough space for porn storage? You may need a couple more.[/QUOTE]

It's obviously the overflow!

In all seriousness:
RAID1 anime drive. Don't know what to name it, cause video was too generic.

I spent over a grand this month already, so unless you've spent more than that you should be fine. ;D
