You mean to tell me...

...That ALL of these clips came straight from DVDs? You mean to tell me that when I watch all these AMVs, that person has 60+ anime DVD collections (not one or two DVDs, but the whole series) in his/her room? If they don't have the DVDs, how the hell are they getting all of this? Hopefully not by being a damn pirate, I hope

Depends on the person. For me, this is my collection from 2007. I don't have a more recent photo handy, but I have significantly more disks now.



Having all the disks is far from impossible, and don't forget that people can borrow from friends, too.

[Kariudo]

I think I might have...maybe about half the number of disks you have in that pic (with right about 100 disks with me here at school)

I can also rent disks from my college's anime club, which has somewhere around 150 series that I don't

I've very rarely ever been jealous of another person. You might just take the cake, however.

[But... DAMN that must have cost a small fortune! It'd be cheaper to go out and buy crack]

My collection was featured on Shelf Life back in 2008: http://www.animenewsnetwork.com/shelf-life/2008-06-16 It's the most recent photos of my collection I have and I have a crap ton more now, just no shelf to put them on in order to take newer pics. I also keep a record of my collection here: http://ngsilver.com/collection/ though it also is in major need of an update (and the addition of my other non-dvd collections.)

Then there's netflix and friends if I don't actually have a series that I need for a video, though I generally edit using only what I own. I've actually used netflix a few times to grab source from a disk that I own but is corrupted (a few of my disks don't play completely anymore) or series that I once owned but were either lost or stolen through the years and I can't find copies of anymore.

I'm well known for dropping hundreds of dollars (actually, tens of thousands of yen) on R2 remasters. KOR cost around $450. Utena cost nearly $600. I also own multiple copies of KOR, including the $250 pre-order boxed set (I was #6). And that's only two series, and we're already over $1300.

Yes. We buy anime. Lots of it.

Only elite editors have huge collections. I only recently started collected Anime, and I have about a dozen anime movies, a couple boxsets and slimpaks. However, because I started recently, a quarter of my anime movies are blu ray, and so is one of my boxsets. I really am broke, but my mom likes spending money so she buys me lots of stuff all the time.

... and three (soon to be four) large cubed spaces underneath that. I also keep a record of my DVD collection.

Yep, I have a lot of source.
