[Satoshi Ookami]

Nice thread :D
I have this:
first 14 volumes of Tsubasa Chronicle
2 volumes of Code Geass
2 volumes of Death Note
2 volumes of Naruto
5 volumes of Zero no Tsukaima
Fallen Moon

My first manga... Tsubasa Chronicle for sure. I hold really special feelings for this manga and anime so I just had to have it as my first.
Yes, I still collect =)
What I plan next...? Probably Naruto 3 once it will be released in our country. Also 6th volume of ZnT should be available soon :)
And I'm buying manga either in our bookstore (in my native language) or on the Internet.

 

[Koi]

Oh my god, I must have spent over $5000 on Anime Blu-ray/DVDs and Manga as well as goods. There's just way too many series for me to list here, but the first anime DVD I bought was probably either Inuyasha, Gundam Seed, Spirial, and/or Azumanga Daioh. As for the first manga, probably DBZ, Pokemon, or Black Cat.

I don't collect manga anymore(except Shugo Chara), but I still do collect Blu-ray & DVD, mostly domestic ones, because I just can't afford to import Blu-ray/DVDs from Japan anymore due to high yen. I think next one I'll buy is probably Clannad Blu-ray(domestic), and I usually buy my stuff from either online, local anime stores, and/or anime conventions.

 

[tmc02086]

Full set of Slam Dunk manga and anime DVD + 3OVA VCD
Full set of BUZZER BEATER anime DVD
Full set of Cyber Formula anime DVD
All Pokemon movie DVD
Patlabor movie 1,2 blu-ray

I don't know if you have heard the above Manga or Anime except Pokemon;)

 

[Snivy063]

I don't collect manga's, I just read them through the net. But if they would be available here, then I'd probably buy and collect. :'D

[Arcanine]

So how large is your anime/manga collection?: Not all that big.
Which series do they consist of?: *Points to pics*
Which anime and manga did you receive first?: The first thing I think I got was season 1 of Bleach.
Do you still collect?: Yes I do
What are you planning to get next?: I might get the Sora no Otoshimono season 1 boxset. The reason why I want it is because when I first watched the series the download was small, the sound was bad. So watching it on my TV in 720p would be nice. But... the box is sort of... yea. XD
Where do/did you buy them at?: Most of my stuff has come from Amazon.
Show pictures of your collection if you want!: k

(Click on the pics for larger views)

The slim chance you somehow miss the names on the boxes... From left to right.
- Bleach Season 1, 2, and 3, and next to it is the first movie... Bleach: Memories of Nobody.
- Next is Fullmetal Alchemist: Brotherhood parts 1-5. That is the whole FMA:B series.
- And after FMA is Full Metal Panic!, Full Metal Panic! The Second Raid, and Full Metal Panic? Fumoffu.
- And last but not least Angel Beats!
I know it's not a manga or anime boxset... but to the far left is my Makise Kurisu figure. Since it sits there all the time I thought I might as well put it in the pic.



Since there's no room on the bottom rack these 3 sit on the top.
- Baka Test season 1 boxset.
- Summer Wars (movie). When I first watched that movie years and years ago it had an ugly yellow sub text font, the sound was so bad, and it was so small and so pixely. After buying the movie and watching it in 720p, and 5.1 surround sound I had to retate the movie.
- The last one is Final Fantasy VII: Advent Children Complete. Some people count it, some people don't. But I thought I'd say something because it sits along with my anime.



- Dragonball Z season 1, 5, 7, and 8. And up top is the 7th movie Super Android 13, and the 9th movie Bojack Unbound (it's in one box). I feel like I wasted my money on the DBZ boxsets. I watched the series long long (back when I was a kid and it was airing on Cartoon Network). So a few years ago I sort of got back into it and wanted to finish it. But I thought I'd just go ahead and rewatch the whole series. And I did that. Only prob is I should have downloaded all the eps and not have went out and got a few boxsets. I think they were $40 each, looking back I think I wasted my money.


My collection as a whole isn't as big as I'd like. But I'm happy with what I have and if I see something I want I buy it.

Pretty much the same right here. I have a few volumes of Inuyasha, half of the Inuyasha season box sets, and the complete Chobits box set, and MANY more I am forgetting. I may take pictures, but need to find my camera first. =/

 

[Exzessiva]

So how large is your anime/manga collection?: My anime collection is decent.

*Death Note
*Full Metal Alchemist
*Samurai Champloo
*Durarara
*Katekyo Hitman Reborn

Which anime and manga did you receive first?: I got the whole collection of One Piece animes (517 episodes). That was in April 2011.
Do you still collect?: Ofc! Can never stop doing it !
What are you planning to get next?: I haven't yet decided. Probably something different, not like the usual ones that I watch. I am still taking suggestions. I have short-listed Code Gease, Hunter x Hunter, Belzeebub
Where do/did you buy them at?: There aren't any bookstore/ shop from where I can get my favorite manga in my city so I have to read them all online.
Show pictures of your collection if you want! I don't have any. Sorry~ Maybe after I get my hands on some manga volumes.

It's very very organized, and congratulations for collecting that much! :'o

 

[Alternative]

I don't really collect a lot of anime and manga, but if I had the money and visited Shintokyo more I probably would.

As for my collection I've really only got four books (thick ones) of Fist of the North Star, and I got them free because someone didn't want them, and they're all in Japanese so I can't read them. Plus I've also got four books of this other thing which I have no idea what it is, but it has a tamagotchi on it, so I really don't know. I've also got an Evangelion movie which I never saw because I don't really like Mecha.

I know you don't count it, but for downloaded stuff I've got most of Naruto which is in terrible condition because it's on discs and stuff, and I've downloaded all of Inazuma Eleven as well, but re-downloading for higher quality.

Will probably catch up Hidamari and Future Diary and fill up the gaps in my Yotsuba& collection first.

Where do/did you buy them at?

I don't really plan to get things. I just sort of pick up something when I remember to. I'm kind of lazy like that.

[PlatinumDude]

My manga collection isn't very big because I have some issues of the Pokemon Adventures manga, the manga versions of Jirachi: Wishmaker and Giratina and the Sky Warrior, the 1st and 7th issues of Yu-Gi-Oh: Duel Monsters, the currently up to date Yu-Gi-Oh GX manga and the 1st issue of the 5Ds manga.

My first manga was probably the Yu-Gi-Oh manga. I also collect manga from time to time when I don't have a particular issue. I'm planning on getting the next issues of the Yu-Gi-Oh GX and 5Ds manga, as well as the Pokemon Black/White manga and some of the Diamond/Pearl manga.
