"The permanent temptation of life is to confuse dreams with reality. The permanent defeat of life comes when dreams are surrendered to reality."
James A. Michener, The Drifters
I've never even bothered counting, but it certainly anywhere near tex's or krafty's collections! (OMG!)
I probably have a good hundred or so. I like to get my anime in sets when possible. so...
(sets off the top of my head):
Hellsing
Nightwalker
Yami no Matsuei (Descendants of Darkness)---*hughughugliclickli---what??*
Saiyuki, Saiyuki Reload
Devil Hunter Yohko
Samurai Deeper Kyo
Magic Knights Rayearth
Fruits Basket
DBZ--on both DVD and VHS, some titles repeated.
VHD and VHD:Bloodlust
With my manga, it's much smaller. I tend to get the manga I've seen the show of, to see if there is any difference between the book and the show.
Fruits Basket
DN Angel
Yami no Matsuei (heh)
Samurai Deeper Kyo
Rebirth-- no anime for it yet
will probably add Bleach to the manga list soon.
And of course, cels! Unfortunately, since I watch many CG shows *curses* there are no cels and sketches are often hard to find. Especially for my favs-- Fruits Basket (and those are usually expensive) and YnM (only have seen settei, in ONE gallery). I collect from the shows I watch first and then anything pretty that catches my eye.
In fact, this hobby has got me to watch a few new animes; VHD:Bloodlust being one of them!
See, this hobby does have more than one perk.
