how much money have you spent on anime?

Not very much, I don't need to, that boy of mine does.

All I need to do is call him and have him bring, whatever, along next time he comes home.

It's hard for me to find any that he doesn't have. In three years he's spent around 15g. He has to much money+time.

I wish I kept track of all that I've bought in the past. My calculator says around $10,000. I've been collecting since 1989 so I'm sure others would beat me in the short run. I've also suffered from a recent case of anime burn-out so I haven't bought much in the past year.

lets see, ive dropped about 200 bucks at Pacific Media Expo last month. i would say about close to 2.5 to 3 grand in the past 2 years. Thats when I seriously started collecting Anime and Anime Paraphanelia.

<s>Seven inches and all man</s> I don't know, actually. *looks* 25, 25, 30, 80, 20, 200, 250... probably about 100 in tapes back in the day... two local cons and one sleepaway... about a hundred in cosplay commissions (I usually sell at a loss to friends)...

Doesn't matter, really. I've learned to buy things I know I'll enjoy - often by renting first - so I don't think I've wasted any money on it. Conversely, claiming you're a bigger fan just because you hemorrhage more money into something is um... well. Special.

I'm a picky buyer, so I don't think it's a good thing to grab anything you see. That just leaves you with a bunch of crap lying around that you never use, and that's not something I like.

('Course then, I live in a shoebox, so I have a different outlook on clutter.)

On dvds I've spent around $500, I think. But I plan to spend at least $1000 (not as a personal goal, but because of what I want to buy). Manga, about $30. For video editing, my computer cost me about $1500 (I use it for gaming, too), and student discounts enabled me for a $250 copy of Vegas (at least I think that's what I spent).

Oh, and everyone needs to look at my avatar. Because I spent time on it, or something.

I have spent around 1000 dollars on DVDs. And around 1700 on a computer to edit and play games on. I bet I'll break at least 2000 dollars eventually. Now that I really think about it I have spent a lot of money on anime.

Money... Either too much or not enough

I just added everything up (manga + merchandise + DVDs) and it came to a total of $739.

Not a whole lot, but more than I had expected.
