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.

Excel Saga and .Hack I'm particularly glad to get. Kaiju No 8 was a great deal similar to Bayonetta, and the Cat Returns is one of the few Ghibli movies that I'm missing. I'm also adding a couple of sneak peaks to how they are looking on the shelf with the rest of the collection. I'm still organizing and moving several things. A full collection update will come ideally in a few weeks!

Haul & Pick Up Compilation Order July 2026

Post image
10 Upvotes

Busy week. I got 3 items from Crunchyroll (Headhunted to another World, Undead Adventurer, and Black company), 2 items from my used dvd store (Left my A Rank Party, You're Under Arrest Motion Picture) and 1 from Barnes and Noble (100 Girlfriends Season 2).

But the real prize was Re:Zero Season 1 parts 1 and 2 from 2nd and Charles. I probably paid full price for it (30 for part 1 and 60 for part 2), but it's OOP. Wasn't looking for it, but I recognize an opportunity when I see it, and I knew I wasn't going to find it again anytime soon.

I have a small white whale I have been tacitly looking for coming in by Friday, along with my copy of Black Lagoon, so look forward to that.

I am curious what are some anime you bought that you went in intentionally/unitentionally for a blind buy and now cost is insane.

I'll go first

Boogie pop and others had seen the first series remember picking this up back in 2021 liking it

but $500+ WHAT IS THAT PRICE lol

Eureka seven bought this back in 2021 and went in knowing its a good show! $500- okay now these prices are really nuts

Now next one S-Cryed I bought this when it was discounted back then and well just look at that price now lol almost $400 who are we kidding


r/AnimeCollectors 18h ago

Today's mail. Finally got this show. Its a blind buy but I've heard it's really good. Should look amazing on my CRT TV.

Discussion Why are extras so bland?

22 Upvotes

It feels like nearly every blu ray or DVD I have settles for the basic "textless songs & trailers" with the occasional promo commercial or something like that. Even cool stuff like commentaries or music videos are usually limited to one or two per series. Where are the interviews? Concept art? Behind the scenes? Deleted scenes? Those are supposed to be one of the main selling points of physical releases, so why are so many extras so basic? American shows are so much cooler that way, those physical releases have everything.

I had both Fullmetal Alchemist Brotherhood Box Sets 1 & 2 in my cart for at least 2 months. I kinda forgot they were there. Went on to actually buy them. Only box set 1 is in stock.

Am I totally screwed on box set 2, or does anyone think there will be a restock at some point? I haven't bought much from CrunchyRoll Store.

I had parts 1.2.4 for years which I am sure I got from Rightstuf blind boxes. I loved the look of the cases as I have never seen clear jewel cases used for dvds before. Of course part 3 was the most expensive part I was missing but I like the show and could not stand looking at the missing part any longer!

These are all the anime, or anime related, pickups i have this year so far. The Discotek Deep Dives have given me an excuse to buy stuff I wouldn’t have bought before. not a bad start for the first half of the year.
