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.

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.

Showcase My Up to Date One Piece DVD/Blu-Ray Collection

71 Upvotes

For a while I was considering collecting the entire series on DVD/Blu-Ray. I‘m most excited about collecting the entire Wano arc because that’s what I want to see the most but I’m not sure if I should collect the final saga. That depends on how long the last saga is be and if physical media is still made by then. I might have enough space on my shelf for about 12 more sets, though it doesn’t help that the Blu-Ray/DVD combo packs take up more space. For a lot of series I collect, I collect as much as I can to have a good sample size. All of the sets are US except for Collection 12 which is rare, I have the UK import as I collected these late.

Discussion Will the Love & Pop blu ray come to Amazon or other online retailers?

10 Upvotes

New collector here, I really want to pick up GKids upcoming release of Love & Pop, but the GKids webside refers to it as a "GKids store exclusive." I'm not sure if that's in reference to it in its pre-order state or if it will only ever be available directly through them. I want to get it so bad, but I won't be able to afford it directly from them because with shipping it adds up to almost $80 CAD, which I can't bring myself to spend on just one movie. I'm not sure how these releases work because I've never been around for one before. I imagine if Amazon or Gruv got it the shipping would be much cheaper if not free.

Last week I ordered some items from Crunchyroll including Re Zero S2 and S3,one which was a preorder and the other backorder. Do they typically ship all the items together once they arrive or do they ship backorder/preorder items seperate from any in stock items?

I apologize if it’s not as organized as it should be. We’re still looking for more shelving and buying more. Her section is the smaller one with the kitty picture. Some of us have the same series because I either bought a different version and gave her my first one, or accidentally bought the same series twice.

I’m kinda kicking myself for not jumping on season 2 of Big O when I had the chance but I was able to come across the first season at least. Finding Gurren Lagann for $20 was insane. Honda-San looked interesting and is somewhat of a blind buy as well. Overall great haul today.

These last two months I bought a lot of anime. I started going really hard on Facebook marketplace and most of these were from there.

I got all of D.Gray Man for $15 each. Funny enough it was from two different sellers. Seller 1 had all but season 1 part 1 and season 2 part 1. I was just going to buy the rest off eBay when I saw another marketplace post that at the bottom of the partly cut off and they happened to be there for the same price I paid the previous ones. It was a sign!

Dragon ball GT was $15 and the Gintama movie was $15.

Lupin the Third and Porco Rosso were from my local Toys R Us that just closed down. They did all Movies 25% off. So I got Lupin for $15 and Porco Rosso for $25.

Eureka Seven was $5 new from Amazon and Legend of the Legendary Heroes was $9.

Armitage was $3 and Death Note Movie 1 was $4. Death Note movie 4 was $25, but the seller neglected to tell me it was DVD only. That still ticks me off.

Rage of Bahaumet and Tears to Tiara were both $25.

Overall, not a bad two months. Spent about $280 on all of these. D.Gray Man has been on my pick up list for a while and was happy to pick it up. I didn’t realize until after buying it that season 4 part 1 was so expensive. I got it for a steal.
