I'm bad with words, so I'ma get straight to the point.

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.

I remember watching The Venus Wars on the SciFi Channel as a kid and have had the DVD for ages. It's not anamorphic widescreen and just looks awful on an HDTV. Especially zoomed in. Found a copy of the OOP Blu-ray while thrifting and the difference is remarkable!

Haul & Pick Up Per The Advice Of The Community….

(Bought off DiabolikDVD)
On a post asking the opinion of the community if I should wait for a complete edition or buy now, I chose the latter. I did so because the state of physical media especially anime and well stated opinions of other collectors. When I got back into collecting recently, this was on my list. Very happy to own a bluray copy of it and can’t wait for Vol.2. If a complete/all in one version comes out I’ll probably buy that too. Thank you all who answered the original post.

I've heard really good things about this anime, and always wanted to watch it, and I saw it was in stock (Albeit Low Stock) on Sentai's store, so I managed to snag myself a copy! Should be here next week sometime!

Got in my pre-order setssss!

Monster - much long awaiteddd! I'm stoked to rewatch the series off the blu-ray 👐 Mayhaps once day we can get other viz rescuesss I'd love Hikaru no Go but with it still being available on streaming i suspect the license is still being held up, mayhap one day thooo I'd love to be rid of those 10 single vols esp and get the rest ofc 😆

Was anyone else's slip veryy tight on the bd case?? I pulled up a bit of the plastic cover already trying to shimmy the slip back on 🥲

Digimon Tamers - Season 3 is hereeee and tbh I stopped watching digimon after Adventure/02 but I've heard good things about season 3 sooo I thought it worth the blind buy hehe. I plan on picking up season 4 too >< Terriermon is my fav mon (thx to the digimon movie tho) so it's neat to see him partnered with a main cast member~

Hana Yori Dango - SD on BD so ig I didn't need to upgrade from the dvd set I got from the closeouts but I definitely appreciate the bd form and less discs hehe 👐 I'm glad to see they're still renewing shoujo stuffs given the discotek bread and butter tends towards the shounen/seinen demo ahah We got the consolidated release of RoV too!

I can’t believe I managed to get this collection box set for $50!! Box is a bit worn but I don’t really mind that. The dvd are pretty much new! With 12 and 9 being so expensive I feel like I hit the jackpot. What do you guys think ? Did I get a good deal ?

Hello everyone, with Sonys announcement to end physical media I flew into a bit of a frenzy buying physical games. My friend got me a blu ray player for my birthday and introduced me into the world of physical anime. I’ve since then started a physical anime collection. This is what I have added to my collection so far.

Investing in a region-free Blu-Ray player was the best decision I could have made as a collector. It's saved me a ridiculous amount of money. If I had bought the US versions, that alone could have been 10x the price of a region-free Blu-Ray player and that's if I actually managed to find all of them, since some sets are obscenely rare and uber expensive. Fuck Aniplex honestly. I'll take value over fancy presentation any day. Also, sadly the X2 Blu-Rays do not include the OVAs so I'll be watching those through "other" means...

Received yesterday for August's last arrivals.

I recently imported Is the Order a Rabbit OVAs being Sing For You and Dear My Sister. I'm not sure if these are the first press limited editions for each or just the limited editions, cause they both have extras to them with first press ones usually having a little more to them, but either way these now completely knock out the bootleg set I had of this series prior.

After a careful search on eBay, I was able to find a copy that sells on a double digit price. I’ve heard good things about this anime, mainly because Carrie Savage is in the dub, so I purchased it and checked it out.
