This includes renting dvds.

I've probably spent only $300. But my parents paid for the other anime. They spent $700. Very Happy

Definately between $1,000-1,500. I tend not to buy the individual DVD's, I'll just buy box set after box-set, and its quite costly Laughing

Probably around $3-4000. Most of it bought, renting is probably only a couple hundred of it.


Wow that's a lot of money to spend Twisted Evil

I am afraid to even guess.... From my LD player (bought for anime- I didn't have any cinema releases for years) to my LDs, manga, art books, VHS, and DVDs.... nope, not even guessing.

I think I'd start crying.....

About $1,000-1,500 this year. Of course, this is the first year I've really bought anime. I only spent about $200-300 before this year.

I think it's just better not to think of things like that. Wink

I've only rented 3 anime movies, so that's, what, about $5-6? One was new and the other two were normal renting.

As for my anime/manga collection, although it's not really all that big by any means, it's slowly growing. With all the deals, discounts, and sales I manage to find, I'm not sure how much I've actually spent. Confused There must be at least $500 there, if not more. That doesn't sound like alot, I know, but that was all my spare money, as I'm a poor jobless person. Once I get a job, I'll have to try to build up some 'fun money' again and go from there. Wink

If you like manga, its not wasting! Surprised

I've probably spent around $200+ on anime/manga. I tend to borrow from my friend a lot.
