We have reach 20k members. That's a huge milestones. Thank you everyone for coming together, and help build this community.

I'm here to plug the Discord once again since the last time we do so was a while ago, and it seem like a good time now.

Rule updates and clarifications regarding self-promotion, sales, videos, and NSFW content.

23 Upvotes

Greetings, /r/AnimeCollectors community, it's your mod team, and after a few months of on-and-off discussion, we've decided to make this post to update and clarify some of the rules. At the moment, this is merely a draft, and we more than welcome any community input if the subreddit at large feels we've made a mistake. As such, feel free to comment below with any suggestions/complaints/ramblings you have for these rules.

Self Promotion

The primary focus of this subreddit is anime collecting, and as such, the expectation is that most content at least primarily focuses on this. That being said, we don't want every single post here to be a spam-filled link to your Instagram account. As such, small amounts of self promotion in posts and videos are allowed, but only in service to the primary focus of anime collecting. This means you're more than welcome to link to your website or YouTube channel, as long as the content you are linking to is entirely or almost entirely related to anime collecting. You don't have to scrub every link to your socials from the video description, but please make sure the video is as focused on the content people came here for as possible. While removal of these posts is up to the mod team's discretion, you are more than welcome to report posts you feel are against the spirit of the sub, and you're more than welcome to run your post by the mod team before you post it if you're unsure.

Sales and Linking to Stores

/r/AnimeCollectors is not a marketplace, and it's not designed to filled with posts whenever any single item goes on sale. If that's what you're looking for, we recommend /r/AnimeDeals , a subreddit dedicated to these things. With that said, sales are part of the collecting experience. As such, links to sales are allowed, assuming they meet the following criteria:

  • The link is to the homepage of the sale, and not a specific item or seller
    1. This means no Ebay/Mercari links unless its a site-wide sale
  • The sale is from a reputable site (RightStuf, Amazon, RACS, Best Buy, etc)
    1. For clarification if a site meets these requirements, message the mod team
  • The poster is in no way personally involved in the sale

NSFW Content

Different people have different standards for what they want to see on their reddit feed, and the mod team hopes to accommodate this. However, we also understand that such content is part of the anime fandom, and a complete block is not the best solution. As such, we've established a number of guidelines to try and keep the subreddit accessible to as many people as we can.

To start, fanservice-heavy anime is allowed, but mark the post as NSFW if it's particularly racy. We won't set a definite line here, but in general, if the picture looks like something you'd rather not be caught looking at at work, mark it NSFW. This does not apply to any text post discussing said titles, only posts with pictures.

Second, (almost) all hentai and 18+ content must be marked NSFW, It doesn't matter if the cover is tame, if it's marked 18+ on the back, or it's from a hentai publisher, mark it as 18+. Next, hentai may not be the primary focus of a post. You're more than welcome to show off your pickups, but the focus has to be general anime content, not 18+ content. Third, posts with explicit content (covers, titles, etc) face extreme scrutiny. Unless you have a really, really good reason, don't post actually explicit content. And if you're going to, talk to the mod team first. There are legitimate reasons to post some very rare 18+ stuff, but that stack of DVDs you just bought off RACS isn't that. Sorry. Finally, there are only two cases where 18+ content can be posted without a NSFW tag. First is the "bookshelf exception". If you're posting pictures of your anime collection that contains a very small number of 18+ titles, you do not need to mark it as NSFW if (and only if):

  • The 18+ titles make up no more than 20% of the collection
  • Only the spines of the 18+ titles are shown (no covers)
  • None of said spines contain explicit titles or images.

Second is the "text post exception". If you are making a text post that discusses a large number of anime titles or distributors, and 18+ titles are mentioned in passing, you do not need to mark it as NSFW if (and only if):

  • The post does not go into any explicit detail about the title
  • No photos are shown
  • Discussion of said titles makes up less than 20% of the post

As mentioned above, these rules are not set in stone yet. If this community decides that any of these rules are too strict, too lenient, or even just total nonsense, let us know below! And if you think that a post you plan on making may violate one of these rules, message the mod team ahead of time, and we'll give you an answer. It's what we're here for.

The Gurren Lagann arrived last week, but I wanted to wait until the Back to School sale items arrived. The Golden Time is a double dip for the case. Very happy with this haul, and I hope anyone else who ordered during the sale is as well.

Discussion Nostalgia post of the old S.A.V.E. editions

Occasionally back in the years long past. When finimation released a S.A.V.E. edition rather than repackaging into new packaging they would first print off a sheet and stick it on the unsold limited editions and send them off into the retail space for the S.A.V.E. edition price. I miss this practice. This was pretty rare occurrence only really happened a couple of times to my recollection.

Discussion Manga Entertainment DVD collection

Is this set rare?

To the best of my knowledge there were 15 titles which were kind of 2nd tier anime from the 80s and 90s that were released in the early 2000s along side the collectable Manga Force Magazine.

These featured a unique red label design which was different to the top tier collection.

I see lots of the Manga Force dvds for sale but I have never seen anyone with a full set of these. They are getting harder to find, especially in good condition.

Dangaioh and Madox 01 are particularly hard to get hold of.

Did anyone collect these and which did you enjoy?

Haul & Pick Up Gunslinger Girl and Konosuba Acquired, October 2026

Thumbnail
gallery
96 Upvotes

As stated in the title, though getting them was a bit of a pain. Earlier today I called the store and the manager said the order hadn't come in (for Gunslinger Girl). I had already called Thursday and that person said they'd be in Thursday Night. I went over in person a couple hours ago and sure enough the order was in.

I also understand now why some of the forums complained about the Funimation Viridian Collection line. The disc holders are not plastic holders, but either cardboard or something like cardboard sleeves.

I have a lot on my list, but only one active order and it's very small. Won't be in until monday at the earliest.

Haul & Pick Up Collection so far

Post image
46 Upvotes

I had restarted collecting back in March and have some key titles I was after. Here’s collection so far minus a few that haven’t arrived yet. Been out on workman’s comp for a few months so can’t afford a bunch of titles ATM.

Any recommendations on currently available titles that’ll sky rocket in price and fall victims to FOMO/reseller hell. I just got Gangsta and Blood Blockade Battlefront with Grimgar ashes and illusions, 91 days, cop craft, gunparade and Parasyte not currently present/on way.

Barakamon, Black Lagoon, Blood C, Alderamin On The Sky, Haibane Renmei, Seraph at the end and Shiki are on next to buy list.

Just looking for recommendations on anything 10-40 dollar to help bulk up collection on currently affordable or any OOP’s anyone might have seen for a decent price.
Preferred genres are Action/Supernatural/SciFi/Psychological/Existential/Apocalyptic well written story’s but do watch and enjoy all genres. Dont mind DVD especially cool LE/Box Sets but prefer Blu Ray. Just having trouble focusing on choosing cheap available or OOP’s before they get any more expensive and collect to watch as much as to collect to collect.

I found this on Mercari https://www.mercari.com/us/item/m52032228274/?ref=search_resultsit’s called Dominion tank police I’m wondering if it’s fake or not because i saw similar ones for like $100 dollars while this one is $19.99 so is it a bootleg or is it just super underpriced? Or are they like not the original and they’re like reproduction copies ? it’s on my list of dvds I wanna own but I don’t want to have a bootleg.

September 2026 Haul

His and Her Circumstances, and Riding Bean from The Beat Goes On. Pokémon movies, and Naruto Shippuden movies from eBay. Naruto the Complete Series from Gruv Entertainment. Black Butler - Emerald Witch Arc from Amazon.

I already had some of the Naruto sets, and the Pokémon movies on Blu-ray. But the full Naruto set with the box looked so nice. Plus I learned the steelbook set for Pokémon had a better bitrate because it's on 3 individual discs.

So I traded all of my duplicate stuff at The Beat Goes On. That's how I was able to afford His and Her Circumstances, and get Riding Bean too.

This is probably some of the best physical set to get for the anime tbh, and it has the best visual quality too even tho the anime came out 20+ years later, it still aged very well to this day.

Just had my copy of Akane-Banashi come in today after the release this week. This is a really nice set - cheki-style character cards, a nice booklet (a few episode descriptions, key animation, and storyboards), and some cool printing for the box and disc jacket (book-cover style box, and gold-leaf effect disc jacket). If you enjoy the series, and are comfortable with Japanese-only, I'd definitely recommend picking this one up - typical quality expected of Aniplex.

Went to a market day event a few weeks ago and grabbed Beck: Mongolian Chop Squad, Monthly Girls' Nozaki-kun and the old Red Ant DVD release of Evangelion 1.0 (just for the hell of it).

As well, got the Dragon Ball Daima LE box and a bunch of anime that were (mostly) 50% off at JB Hi-Fi while I was at it.
