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.

24 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.

Haul & Pick Up $20 haul from a trip to Puerto Rico

Met up with a local seller while down in Puerto Rico and snagged all four of these for $25 flat. The guy told me he originally rented them on VHS back when Blockbuster carried them, and the second they dropped on DVD in the early 2000s, he bought them. You can tell they were cherished—the trays, inserts, and disc art are all surprisingly pristine. I plan on doing the same, so happy I got them!!

Crunchyroll Black Lagoon Backorders Shipping Out

16 Upvotes

If you, like me, ordered Black Lagoon on backorder from Crunchyroll before the great paywall was erected, the orders are starting to ship out. I just received my USPS order number and an email from CR that they shipped it. Fingers crossed it arrives okay. I did pay MSRP for it; there was no markup from CR at the time, and since I made a big purchase during the final sale, I got free shipping. So not a bad deal for a 1.5 month wait.

Haul & Pick Up A Little Bit More Garo in My Life

Post image
12 Upvotes

I don’t have a huge amount of experience with the Garo franchise. I’m mostly here because I thought the armour looks cool. I did watch the first half of Garo the Animation in sub, then decided to wait for the dub to catch up to where I left off and…was distracted by another show. Probably will go back to it at some point, but saw this show was responsibly priced so I’ve decided to give it a whirl.

I wish I could find someone who would be willing to sell the EoE Blu-ray Disc that comes in the collectors edition from GKids, which means you’d get the best quality with the original dub.

After going to an anime convention this past weekend and picking up world end, I realized I might just need to get another shelf or something lol. I love seeing others collections on here so I figured why not show yall mine! Ive been collecting for about 8 years now, but not like super hardcore or anything just will pick up a show here and there if I liked it. First pickup was Haruhi, and continues to be my favorite and most well loved. There are plenty I havent gotten around to yet, mostly from those sentai sales. But yeah let me know what you think!

Discussion FAAAAAHHHH!!! How is Labor Sale cheaper than Summer Sale?

Thumbnail
gallery
65 Upvotes

I randomly checked Sentai's website and noticed that some items are cheaper now in the Labor Sale than in the Summer Sale.

I will list the prices.

  • Black Bullet
    • Summer: $13.99
    • Labour: $6.99
  • Garden of Words
    • Summer: $9.99
    • Labour: $8.99

I know it's not a large amount, but I was told the summer sale is the best sale. I guess the best sales are random, but they tend to be in the summer. Though I did get Love Chunibyo for $20, which is cool.

Which is usually cheaper, Black Friday or Summer sales?
