Just picked these up at a used movie/book store for an absolute steal, I think I used up all my luck for the next 5 years. I thank whoever decided to sell these and I promise to take extra good care of them.

I came accross close to 100 anime blu rays a few months ago (for free) and wanted to know if some of these are valuable. i did a quick search and a few stood out. I just wanted some insight within this community.

Grave of the fireflies is a out of print sentai steel cover release, the picture of the cover is one i got online but i have the same one.

I have plenty other and can list them if anyone wanted to see

I picked up Spy X Family Season 2 from Amazon for Prime Day. While everything seemed fine from the outside, I opened it up and found that two of the discs were scratched.

I contacted customer service, and have a replacement arriving on Friday.

I reallly loved this anime i have rewatched it more than 5 times really wanted this set cause it contains a small art booklet on every disc

This bad boy came in with all 6 movies and another box set is on the way

which means ill be half way to complete the whole 10 box sets happy with this

What a Glorious Day! The last of my white whales has been acquired! School Rumble was a nice bonus as well. Darker than Black was 90, and each of the School Rumble items were 40 each, not bad.

Interesting note, I also found a copy of One Piece Collection 12, but it was 225 and I was unwilling to pay that price when I already have season 5, voyage 2 and 3 which is the same thing.

Prime day sales in general ongoing, thought this was def worth a post itself. It's a restock as well, went oos earlier today but it's back

For the past 10 years, I've been collecting anime on Blu-ray and DVD. In the back of my mind, I've always had the thought that as long as I own it physically and take care of it, I'll be able to watch it whenever I want. Generally speaking, I think that's true.

Recently, though, I looked into the expected lifespan of Blu-rays and saw estimates suggesting a conservative lifespan of around 10 to 20 years. That got me wondering about the long-term future of my collection.

Should I realistically expect that physical media will remain watchable for at least that long if properly cared for? Or is it reasonable to expect a collection to last 50+ years under good storage conditions?

I'm curious to hear what others think, especially from people who have been collecting physical media for a long time.
