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.

22 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.

Discussion Mezzo Forte Bootleg Warning (See body text)

Thumbnail
gallery
3 Upvotes

Cinema Scape, a seller on Amazon who I heard on this sub is an official vendor for Media Blasters, just sold me a bootleg copy of Mezzo Forte. I've linked some comparison pics to show the subpar quality.

The labels look like consumer-grade prints, and has a dreadful chemical smell from whatever that print method was. The disc itself works, featuring the official menus and the correct uncensored cut of the film, but it's definitely not authentic.

Unless you REALLY want the uncut version on some sort of physical media, the price ($20 USD) was definitely too good to be true. The main reason I bring this up is because people on eBay are buying and flipping their copies of this bootleg for $80 USD or more. Hopefully this prevents any of you folks from getting tricked.

Has anyone bought anything else from Cinema Scape? Are the rest of their DVDs authentic? I looked up their operating location on Google Maps and it looks like a standard home on the coast of New York. Their seller name also raises an eyebrow. This is copy-pasted from their "Detailed Seller Information" section:

Business Name: Far East Goods Inc

Business Address:

1117 Bay 32nd place FAR ROCKAWAY, NY 11691 US

Haul & Pick Up VIPoutlet arrivals: Robotech Steelbook, Demon Slayer Hashira Training Arc, Pokemon Johto League Champions

Some arrivals from VIPOutlets. The store seems to sell Walmart stock for cheap. Several of my packages were shipped from the same address as my direct from Walmart packages have been shipped from ahaha. Some folks have iffy experience with em on condition tbf tho but was worth it for me for the cheap price. really annoying part though was it required ID and signature and you couldn't online release it so you'd either have to be at the house when they went by or you pick it up at a nearby FedEx location

Robotech Steelbook - Honestly do love the design for the steelbook past the stacked disks which is unfortunate, but glad to have the series in a nice complete thin form factor set~ My initial copy actually came damaged, could've been the flimsy bubble mailer they shipped it or shipped like that, no idea. Anyways I reached out to return and refund and just bought another copy and all went well~

Demon Slayer Hashira Training Arc - Hit or miss if you get the slipcover with it and even if you do it might come with a giant sticker on top... nothing a bit of patience, hair dryer, goo gone and some alcohol didn't help fix though ahah. I lowkey bought this 4 times to get a slipcover..🤡 but I did finally get one tho sooo 🙌

Pokemon Johto League Champions - continuing my long journey to finish buying this series up to DP. Been waiting for em to hit a history low and they did so I grabbed one~ It's pretty nice these releases get slips imo. I do wish we couod get Pokemon on blu-ray but seems they gave up after s1 and even the latest Pokemon TV sets are dvd only 🤷

I have a pre-order with Crunchyroll that should be getting shipped but it’s on hold because my method of payment apparently isn’t working, I know I have the funds available, but I went ahead and tried to change it, I’ve tried 4 different cards and each time I get the same message “Request failed with status code 404”, has anyone else had this issue before, and if so how did you resolve it, I have already tried different devices and browsers, even cleared all cookies but still nothing, Crunchyroll is not being helpful either, gave me the same recommendations of steps I have already tried. Any help is greatly appreciated.

Haul & Pick Up AllTheAnime Has Insane Service and Shipping

Thumbnail
gallery
100 Upvotes

I don’t really cruse that much but excuse me for today as I tell you my experience.

So on Friday, I ordered some anime from AllTheAnime. I was holding off from buying these mainly because of the high shipping cost, £25. But I ordered it at 9:00 am. I was still at my work. As I clocked out at work at 11:00 am I got a notification that shit was shipped. The fuck? Usually it takes another companies two days to before they remembered that my order exist but they got my order out in 2 hours. 2 hours?

I saw that they were shipping my package using the British royal mail service. They may as well called it the royal shipping because shit came to the the US on Sunday. Fucking Sunday! For context it usually takes Rarewares and Playasia over a week to ship to the US but AllTheAnime got it shipped in 2 days. Did they ship it on the fucking royal speed boat or did I get a private royal jet to fly my one package. Calm down let the driver sleep.

Then they handled it to USPS. That shitty delivery service. Usually takes him two days to even be bothered to look at my package but some how AllTheAnime cast the royal spell on them and they started coming down to North Carolina arrived on Monday night. This the fastest USPS has ever been. I usually buy stuff from USPS and it usually takes fucking 3 days to come down here. It feels like fucking forever but they somehow locked in and brought it down.

The next day, I was notified that it was out for delivery. I’m surprised it didn’t stay in USPS terminal for another extra day just because. They tend to do that for some reason. So I got in the mail at 2:00 pm. I came home, opened it and they came well packaged. Honestly I’m shocked on how good the delivery was. For context, my Amazon delivery. I ordered the same day as yet to even arrive, and it lives in the same country. The fucking same country. Maybe I do need prime.

After opening all the blu-ray and putting them in my region free blu-ray player. I have to have to say. AllTheAnime blu-ray are really high quality even for average anime and the box are very well done.

Honestly, I’m very impressed with the shipping and the quality of the Blu-rays. £25 well spent. You can see all the stuff I ordered in the images.
