This is not even including my AMV’s, autographs, buttons, clothing, cosplay gear, figures, hats, magazines, mp3’s, patches, plushies, postcards, posters, soundtracks, and PC wallpapers, and wall scrolls. I have a lot fo stuff that no one has ever heard of before. On great thing about my collection is that I never television.

My top 10 Anime’s of all time:
10 ) Kodomo No Omocha
9 ) Rahxephon
8 ) Yu Yu Hakusho
7 ) Final Fantacy VII Advent Children
6 ) Gravitation
5 ) Godanner
4 ) Ranma ½
3 ) Sailor Moon Live Action TV Drama 05’
2 ) Now And Then, Here And There
1 ) Initial D Fourth Stage

Japanese is not that hard to understand. Watching Anime for over the past 6 years has taught me quite a bit of the language. It is mostly just single words and short phrases, but I think I need to spread the knowledge. Surprisingly, I can find use for all these words in my daily conversations with friends, family and co-workers.

My top 20 most used Japanese words:
20 ) ikimashou/ike - shall we go, let's go.
19 ) chikusho - equivalent to damn! or ____!
18 ) yatta - hooray!, I did it!, yay!
17 ) gumbatte - hang in there!, don't give up!, do your best!
16 ) masaka - can it be?, it can't be!
15 ) sempai - anyone who is one's senior in a hierarchical organization.
14 ) matte - wait.
13 ) suki - to like, to love.
12 ) hayai - quick, fast.
11 ) hen - strange, weird.
10 ) tomodachi - friend.
9 ) saa - so!, beats me!
8 ) doko - where.
7 ) ohayou - abbreviated form of ohayou gozaimasu, good morning.
6 ) kawaii - cute.
5 ) onegai - I beg of you, please.
4 ) nani - what.
3 ) sugoi - awesome, cool, great.
2 ) arigatou - thanks.
1 ) baka - an all-purpose insult denigrating the subject's intelligence.

Damn I am crazy for this stuff… Crack would be a cheaper addiction!

Flecs

jesus christ! if you wouldent care... you shuld loan me some initial d dvd's sometime... ive never seen the show... jst played the arcade game!

NanoScion

Rob, Charlie is *really* impressed! He's going to check them out. There are lots he hasn't heard of. "Wow, so much to choose from! That collection is pretty awesome." He has a friend who is teaching in Japan, is a huge anime fan, and even *he* doesn't have as many animes as you do. You rock!

otaku_d

Thanks All!

trdtcpr

You are missing two of my favorites ... Naruto and Samurai Deeper Kyo ... anyways sweet collection.

otaku_d

Naruto & SDK I have seen only a few episodes. I will buy SDK eventually, but Naruto would be a pass. I only buy the anime that I know I will watch more than once. I still have not finished watching everything in my collection either. I still have to start/finish over 40 titles. I buy them in groups to save on shipping costs.

trdtcpr

I didn't saw Bleach either?

xAlex

i cant believe akira or evangelion didnt make that top 10

otaku_d

Have yet to see Bleach, but have the open/closing title music.

I admit that Akira and Evangelion are good. They were great for their time, but I have seen better! The anime has to be plot oriented and flows well to make my top 10.

I guess you could say that I go more for the comedy/romance titles. I like a lot of girl anime or sho¯jo style titles. Typically sho¯jo revolves around love stories and strong female protagonists. They are more plot/action oriented which often contain elements of sho¯nen-ai or yaoi.

farberio

OMG!!!!
Someone else has heard of Kodomo No Omocha!!!!!!

What a crazy crazy girl. I used to buy the tapes from the purple tape place (dont remember the name...although i think it was kodomo). Now I don't have a tape player.

otaku_d

You know Sana chan and babbit? Sweet!

I am currently on episode 86 of 102. It's taking me forever to finish this series. I keep tracking back to my favorite episodes.

rwf

FLCL is my fav anime!!! wow u have a huge collection >_<
but i noticed u dont have Scryed.. if u havent seen that u should, its really good.

otaku_d

I saw Scryed on CN and it never really intrigued me enough to buy, sorry.

rwf

=(.. it gets good tho ^^
maybe its the awefull dubbing?

otaku_d

Well… I do watch everything subbed! The original language track is always the best! Most US dubbing companies just don’t cast the right voice for the characters. There are a few companies like ADV Films & Viz Media are meticulous when casting and do it right!

farberio

Hell yeah I know Sana chan, although I like Akito Hayama better.

Where did you purchase this as I havent found it in a subbed form in forever. Nor can I find a place to download it.

BubbaNoy

Bleach!!!!, how can you not have seen Bleach!! it is the ____s man!! Ah man, and you dont have The Avatar!! Yeah it's made by Nicktoons but damn, it is good..oh and Viz media screwed up Ranma 1/2, by casting the same person as male/female Ranma..

holaplaneta

Probably my favorite anime movie, great story, and excellent animations, oh by the way Cool collection

bBsactoguy

O m g... that collection is crazy.

Lately, I've been on a harddrive binge thatn dvds... Gotta love them fansubbed downloadable anime hehehe : )

otaku_d

No internet at home, so I purchase imports online or at the only 2 stores in the Twin Cities that I can get them, Tomodachi and Cedar Cliffs!
