My anime collection (Part 1) Blu-rays, DVDs, VHS. The weird, the rare and the expensive.

Ya know, half of my home is full of video games...which has left me with a whole half to fill with anime! Yes, I try to be a well rounded nerd and have gathered hundreds of physical anime series over the years and I want to share them today with you! Let me know what your favorites are, and if you don't see it here, don't worry, I could only fit so much in one and video and they're will be more to come very soon!

Studio Trigger you can safely say Trigger takes soo much care and love when they make anime

[@BlehEdits]

Nice collection mike! Due to the extravagant prices of most anime, I decided to just get my all time favourites physically. So far I have Steins;gate and nichijou, still need to get paranoia agent and mononoke (the tv series not the ghibli movie).

[@ChipDamageMike]

The worst part is, anime collecting seems to be getting even more expensive... Thanks for watching btw!

[@connorwaltman4966]

If Panty and Stocking got a 2nd Season since Studio Trigger now has the rights to do so

[@ChipDamageMike]

O man would I explode in joy if that happened..

[@akunoraioh1784]

Amazing collection. Can’t wait for Pt. 2. Gunbuster was the first Anime I watched when I was 5. Good news, Discotek announced at a convention that they licensed the 6 episode OVA and will release it on Blu-ray with English dub think at the end of 2021/early 2022.

[@ChipDamageMike]

I’m SO hyped about another Gunbuster release! They announced it like a day after I released this video lol. Thanks for watching btw! 🙏

[@thatdudemike]

WHAT?! That’s amazing news.

[@unkono]

I am just like you. I like to collect physical media. Not easy thing to do with anime.

[@ChipDamageMike]

Yeah, it is NOT easy or cheap, but I find it very worth it. Good luck in finding any anime you may be looking for! And thanks for watching! 🙏

[@animenerd101]

Gunbuster is incredible. Glad you highlighted it!

[@ChipDamageMike]

Gunbuster needs more love! Thanks for watching btw!

[@lupin01]

Great video. Gainix first anime was Royal Space Force Wings of Honeamise, Gunbuster is a classic.

[@ChipDamageMike]

Thanks for watching! 🙏

[@connorwaltman4966]

Holy shucks! What a huge collection you got there. Man, I really want to get the Gurren Lagann Box Set

[@ChipDamageMike]

Thank you! Yeah that Gurren set is definitely the crown jewel of my anime collection. Expensive but worth it for me. Thanks for watching! 🙏

I've got a steelbook version of Samurai Champloo. It's got a nice sheen to it and comes with a few artcards as a bonus.

[@ChipDamageMike]

Awesome! Samurai Champloo deserves a great steel book!

[@VioletKFY]

I wanted to buy Gunbuster but I can’t find it anywhere, lucky they are doing a release in 2022-23

[@aesopdemoor7595]

trigun ! so good ! great series....DONUTS!

[@ChipDamageMike]

One of my all time favorites as well!

[@MetalChickCrisis2040]

FYE, Suncoast, Sam Goodie are all big, big throwbacks! Used to buy my anime at those stores, too. And most notably, my favorite store of all time: Media Play. I practically lived there! Bought my first full anime sets there, at that 29.99 MSRP a pop! I believe the first 7 volume set I purchased was Full Metal Panic. I remember having to backorder most of them! Lots of great titles here though!! Love the box sets. I have that Best Sessions for Cowboy Bebop, too! Thought it was the coolest thing back in the day. Makoto Shinkai is Chef's Kiss. I own most of his work, but The Promised Place is probably my favorite film by him! Followed closely by The Garden of Words and Voices of a Distant Star. :) Really hoping the first and last of those mentions get released, here in the US, on blu ray. I want a nice collectors set for them, damnit. Rurouni Kenshin is still a series I need to buy. I own two random volumes, but never seem to find it in full for a decent price, wah wahh. Anyway. On to check for a part 2!

[@ChipDamageMike]

Thank you so much for watching! I really miss all those stores… $29.99 was the bare minimum price for every anime dvd back then… I still have to make a part 2 (and 3) been a busy and hellish year, so please look forward to those soon!

[@MetalChickCrisis2040]

@@ChipDamageMike Will do! Hopefully the new year is kinder to us all. 😊 I'll nosily poke around your other videos meanwhile!

Great collection, dude! And fortunately, Ninja Scroll has been released on Blu-ray in the US. I believe it's distributed through Sentai Films! Easy to get a hold of on Amazon or eBay. 🤘🏻

I see cowboy bebop on PS2,to bad liked u say,it could come to america.i started my collection again on my anime.i was off long time.

[@BradLad56]

Outlaw Star is an underrated classic.

[@ChipDamageMike]

Damn right it is! It’s amazing it’s not talked about more or that it never gets merchandise like figures like other older series get.

[@unkono]

It's like a kid friendly version of Bebop. Still a good show.

[@joury900]

Massive fan of Yu Yu Hakusho here! So big that I've been working on a cosplay of younger Toguro for over a year already 😅 Best shounen series of 'em all imo. I do stick to the Japanese dub, but I respect people liking the eng dub.

[@ChipDamageMike]

Younger Toguro... easily one of my favorite villains of all time! Good luck with the cosplay and thanks for watching!

[@unkono]

Really like that flcl wall scroll. Also where did you get that gunbuster?

[@ChipDamageMike]

Thank you! I bought that Gunbuster set on eBay years ago when it was still affordable. Thanks for watching btw! 🙏

[@aesopdemoor7595]

Akira has to be the original English dub or Japanese.

[@Maztuhmind]

All these Gainax anime and no Evangelion? Lmao jk great collection so far and it's a damn shame that Gunbuster still hasn't had a proper re-release. Such a gem of an anime and as far as subs vs. dubs go, I'm pretty much only a subs guy now. I used to be more lenient on dubs but ever since I read some behind the scenes info on how The End of Evangelion was made, that made me prioritize subs.

[@ChipDamageMike]

There was an announcement of a Gunbuster 3 a few years ago, but I severely doubt that it'll be released at this point... And sneak peak of a future video...I haven't forgotten EVA lol Thanks for watching!

[@dakwill380]

All great series kenshin is my favorite anime of all time it has to me one of the best villains ever with shishio

[@ChipDamageMike]

Easily the best IMO. Pushed Kensington and his team to the absolute limit. Thanks for watching 🙏

[@DekaStriker2424]

Where did you buy that Little Witch Blu-ray? Is that import from japan, does it have any English options, and where can I buy it?

[@ChipDamageMike]

Yes it was an import, it was expensive too I hate to say, like $60 at the time if memory serves. I just got it on eBay lol. It has English subs for sure, I’m not sure about dubs but I’ll check and comment on it here later!!

[@DekaStriker2424]

@@ChipDamageMike Thx lastly if you don't mind me asking that is the whole series with all the episodes and with the films included.

[@ChipDamageMike]

It’s just the two films, that I know for sure.

[@DekaStriker2424]

@@ChipDamageMike I know I said last question but I'm just curious what is better the series or the films? I'm really curious on where to start with this show. Sorry for the multitude of questions lol.

[@ChipDamageMike]

Not a problem at all! That’s what this channel is for! I personally enjoy the films more. They’re a separate continuity from the series, and were made well before the series debuted. They were made more as a showcase of what Studio Trigger (a new studio at the time) could really do with a budget. The characters and art are great, but I don’t think there was enough there to stretch it out into a full, engaging series. The show is still good to me, but I vastly prefer the quick, succinct nature of the two films overall. I hope my answer helps!

[@BradLad56]

31:56 Ironic that Badlands Rumble has a blu-ray but the series doesn't.
