Do you actually still keep your vhs stuff?

Quite a few actually, noteworthy include Lodoss and Escaflowne, though I haven't watched them in a long time. My VCR is collecting dust in the corner.

I converted my Lodoss to mpeg simply so I don't lose more quality when the tapes start going bad, but I still keep em...

DAMNIT! I was reorganizing my bookshelves... and while I was working on one of the lower ones... my Bubble Gum Crisis collector's box set fell and whacked me on the head. Those f*%#ing tapes HURT!!!

I only have a few VHS since I only got into anime after VHS became obsolete. But I'm a pack rat so I doubt I'll get rid of em

I guess this is where I horrify you with the news that digital on optical disc is not permanent and deteriorates with time as well.

Yup I've still got plenty of my VHS tapes. Anime include Rurouni Kenshin, Sailor Moon, CCSakura, Saint Tail, Rayearth, Magic Users Club, Gokudo, and a volume of Evangelion, Fushigi Yuugi, and Ah My Goddess.

I would get rid of these if ever given the chance but I that ship has sailed years ago. I still watch them though. Good anime is good no matter how you watch it.

I never bought much anime on VHS. Since I wasn't really into anime until later in life when DVD was becoming increasingly popular. I much prefer DVD over VHS, as would anyone, on several accounts. Easy to copy and backup, easy to rip and compress and edit with, and I can watch them on my computer, and since I have poor eye sight (which probably originates from looking at my screen so much) being able to rest my laptop on my stomach and watch anime close up is a nice little bonus feature that only DVDs bring to me. Not to mention DVDs are easier to store.

I think the only VHS I ever bought were a couple Dragon Ball Z tapes when I was a kid. I think that's about it.

Ah to be 13 again.

To be able to lust after a 13 old schoolgirl and actually not get in trouble over it

I was staring at some of my non anime vhs stash actually this morning and wondering wtf I even still keep it. "Oh I might want to look at it some day". Yeah right. I haven't had a workshop in like hmmm 5 years, but I might need my wood finishing tape

I think I am going to just be pitching some stuff out, I need room for my steadily growing collection of dvd media.
