Do you spend a lot of money toward anime?
 

Or do you visit sites to watch or download it? On most animes like Inuyasha or Naruto I will watch online. If I knew how to set up dvd burners and such I'd obtain them in that manner but, I guess its not as easy as music. =p However, animes I consider GOAT(Greatest of all time.) like DB/DBZ, I'll purchase everything related. Oh and shorter animes that are inexpensive that I like as well like Yu Yu Hakasho I'll buy too, cause each season set was 20$ which isn't bad. But some anime prices are just too much, Inuyasha season sets use to be 100$, went down to 70$, and probably 40$ now but no.

I used to buy some anime dvds. Now I mostly watch it online on youtube or something.

I spend more money on manga than anime to be honest.

I generally download anything that I want. I've never paid for anything anime related unless you count games.

I spend far too much money on anime, manga and relate things. Saying that I think it's better to buy the items because without the money from sales I doubt the companies that produced them would have much funds to produce anything, and frankly I couldn't live without my anime/manga :D

I only buy anime series if I find it a pain to look for a good version on the net. Other than that, I have some merchandise here and there. That's about it.

more for anime-related merchandises

Actually, no. Not really.
I know where to get them, so...
Lets see...

3,3,3, six for the price of 20, (four of which were anime) 3, 3, 3, 3, 7, so, so far, for the anime I have, I spent about 48 bucks, minus 7 that I used a gift card for, minus three that I got from store credit, 38.
So 38 bucks total spent for ten anime, (Three of those has two discs in them, so 16 discs in all) plus tax.
Plus manga-
Total, it comes down to 185 bucks... BUT!
I got a 25 dollar gift cards for graduation, another three for my eighteenth birthday, which I spent on Junjou Romantica and Fullmetal Alchemist, of course. <3
Then I got yet ANOTHER 25 dollar gift card... Which meant MORE YAOI!
So that's already 125 bucks deducted there.
Though I had to pay the extra two from the yaoi I got recently from the other gift card from Christmas. I got one 13 dollar book from my boyfriend as a gift, so that makes 47 so far. Minus six from credit, so 41.
So I spent 41 total for 47 books.
(I sold a bunch of books, as well.)

That's a total of 63 items gotten, and about 79 spent total.

And just for the fun of it... Lets say each disk cost about 20 bucks originally. That's 320, plus tax for anime.
And lets say... Four books were 14, one was 7, and the rest were ten. That'd be about 223 in value.
So all together, they're actually worth 543 dollars, plus tax, and I spent 79 bucks total.

Not bad, if I do say so my self! ;D

yes i do :3! <3

I used to buy a ton of anime DVDs years ago. Nowadays, those same discs just sit on shelves while I buy manga (the much cheaper option) instead.

yeah, i just read/watch most of the things i like online, i tis both easier and cheaper, but i will buy the manga, movies, select episodes, and other for the one's that i really do enjoy. mostly the manga though, i fund the authors/companies when and if i can since money doesn't exactly grow on trees.

i read/watch most things online, it's cheaper & therefore easier on my pocket book. i do buy alot of manga though, since it's cheaper than DVD's, and i do liek to support the author/company when i get the chance, & if i REALLY love something i buy the movies &/or select episodes &/or other.
but seriously, if i were to buy EVERYTHING that i viewd online, then i'd be.....:eek:! never mind...i don't want to think about somehting that horrible...

I don't spend much money on anime, a lot on mangas though.

I wish. I generally get by by knowing other manga enthusiasts.

I only buy anime that is my all time-favourite, or ones that I just can't find anywhere else.
I'd say I spend about $60~200 a year on it.

I did when I was younger, until I realized just how much Borders was ripping me off. So now I only ever buy anime and manga at Cons, when its cheap :) Now I tend to watch anime and read manga on my laptop, but if I have a series I absolutely love, then I'll buy it

When I was younger I would spend almost every penny I would get on manga (even if I was reading it online). Though now I don't unless the series is complete, I don't want to have to buy volumes for a series that has 40+ volumes, no matter how much I like it. Same goes for anime, with anime I prefer to buy the complete series packages that have the entire season on several disks.

I watch anime online mostly, but I will buy merchandise from a series and I buy a lot of manga.

Yes, I buy lots of manga. But never anime. :)

i watch on animefreak.tv cause my money is spent on games (though i do buy the occasional manga like Vampire Knight)

Nah, I'm too cheap to buy it, besides, what's the net for? Lol.

I only really buy manga and watch anime online so yup.

Well, I bought some books that were anime-based, like Fate Stay Night, or Gakuen Heaven... I rarely buy anime cause anime like does not exist in physical form in Canada DX We basically only have the mainstream stuff like Bleach, or Inuyasha, or Naruto, here... ;_;

So basically, I wish I spent more money on it, sorta?

depends on how good it is

I used to, but that went for any kind of dvd and such..
Then I got netflix.. which literally saved me thousands of dollars. X.X I used to buy dvds new for $30 or $20.. >.> yikes..............

Manga online, spend time at Barnes and Nobles reading or actually will buy DVDs. For some reason, I like watching anime on my television rather than my computer.

Most of it I get off the internet... but I do have a few series on DVD

I didn't spend anything just watch it online. Unless I like it a lot then I will buy the manga.... nevermind I won't buy it since it quite a hassle to carried around. I will buy if the publish e-manga LOL

I just bought a hundred dollars worth of japanese manga while I was in japan. I cant even completely translate it yet.

huge spender on manga and anime merchandise... not much on dvds though.

I download it.

I used to not care, but now as I am older and realize people make a livelihood off of this, I don't want to steal from them.

And I am dating an artist...so that inspires guilt, as well.

So when I'm financially able to, I purchase.
