Naruto is basically about a boy who is trying to get the respect of his village by becoming the #1 ninja :victory:

Prince of Tennis is basically about a first year tennis player owning his opponent........basically :sweat:

Both of these are good and funny. If u watch Prince of Tennis anytime soon, be patient with it cuz it gets goin a couple eps after the first. One thing in POT that comes up alot was Inui Juice<----funny, doesn't appear at all round eps130 :shamefulcry:

that is a ton of episodes!!, just how many dvd's is that??
think that One Piece has a ton of episodes too.
Ikki Tousen, Mabuharo, not sure if they had that many, but do know that each anime has about 7 dvd's in the series.
GTO has about 10 dvd's to the anime collection, probably 20 something volumes in the manga.

i dunno how many dvds Naruto n POT has since i dl them. I saw this video rental place have naruto for rent, but don't know how many dvds there are. I saw #s like 20-25, i think they put one ep on a disk n go from there. I can rent it n check it out, but ya....Since Naruto got licensed, im sure its gunna b a while b4 they put it out for DVD here.

GTO has 25 manga vol. i think

think i got GTO anime vol's 1-3 and 8 for real cheap, clearance sale for $7 ea, i don't think i will ever get that price again, if i want to finish up my series on GTO. The manga is good, browsed thru one of them at the bookstore on the manga, 25 at $10 ea, over $250 incl taxes, ouch. :beaten:
Anyhow, Mabuharo is out today at bestbuy, going to check it out. s/b good. Burst Angel is out next month, s/b cool too. :victory:

ikki tousen, now have 4 of the 7, three more to complete the collection.
best buy didn't have mabuharo near my place, will try another time.
collecting anime is expensive, avg price per anime ranging from less than $20 to $35 and up. Expensive hobby to have. D/L would be cheaper, but not an option if you have dial up. :mecry:

K.T.Tran wrote:My cuz told me bout One Piece, said its very addicting and Fox kills most anime that it airs :shocked:

hell yeh its addicting, same with naruto, but i also hated the fox release, i also think they're gonna ruin naruto as well when it comes on CN. :banghead: so if you guys wanna watch them and enjoy it, id say get the japanese version.

theres a store where i shop the import anime for a discount price, if anyones interested just pm me.

anybody like shoujo/romance shows? ichigo 100% just came out :mrgreen:

How much is your anime collection worth??? imma have to calculate mine once i finish with Ikki, 2nd stage of Initial D, and Azumanga i believe

s'ok dude, its all good. Yeah my collection, not too much, i would guess probably less than $400, roughly, figuring that each one is an avg price of $25-30 each.
so far my fave is Ikki Tousen, after awhile, you start to recognize some of the english voice-overs in each anime, some sound familar to me.
:hadoken: :victory:
Inital D? you like racing? heard about the anime, it is running about $16 per dvd at Bestbuy, not sure how big the series runs for the anime.
Azumanga? that sounds like a fun anime.
They had Fruits basket, all four vol's in a box set for $66.99 at bestbuy, and all 10 vol's for Full Metal Panic for $68, not bad, but that is a ton of money to spend. Also had to hold off on Mezzo vol. 3, the last one to complete my series, maybe another time.
how much did you spend on your collection? I also collect anime figures and a little manga. This Otaku hobby can be expensive! :sweat:

Lets see....anime collection running in the $400s like you. i remember now cuz i went to best buys n spent $170 sum odd for 5 DVDs: 3 ikki n two Azumanga :shamefulcry: probably would have gotten it cheaper at Frys. My manga collection is bout $400+ pushing into the $500s, got some of dem for free, those buy 2 get 1 free at borders :woot:

My collection is tiny compared to my cuzns, but he don't buy anime so i think i spent more than him :shocked:

dang, 5 anime dvd's in one visit to best buy?!, i think i would be watching for awhile, enjoying anime. You can complete a series or two for that price. nothing to be shamed about, it's your $$$ and you saved for it. hey there is a lot out there i want, i blew $450-500 at the last anime convention, mostly anime figures and some dvd/books, of course that was over 3 days at the convention hall, plan on probably doing it again, hey i am an Otaku and would love to visit Akihabara in Tokyo, the Anime mecha of the world! Forturnately for me, i don't buy too much on anime, and try to save up when i can. But it's my hobby and sometimes you got to spend a little to enjoy it. It sounds like you got a good collection growing there, do you have any japanese dramas as well??
I have a few: Seikei Bijin, Pretty Girls, Bus Stop, to name a few, all with eng subs. :applaud:

oo ouch ><
yea, before i had my dvd burner, i had wayyyyyyyyy to many cds to keep track of, i lost a few series that way ><

@kt tran:
what did you think of the fourth vol. of Ikki Tousen?, just figured out that the 4th vol, is the last, i have the entire series finished. I thought the action was good and the story was ok, hakafu is a hottie. The artwork was superb and the fan service was great. Cool, another complete series i have now in my anime collection. :applaud:
