Post a photo of your entire anime collection!

[devilrules666]

I am taking pics of my entire collection and they should be up by friday at the latest....

Ah, very nice. I have started looking in charity shops for bookcases, but it is obviously quite hard to stumble on something that is just what you are looking for.

They're surprsingly cheap new from places liek IKEA/Argos if you don't mind putting them up (or don't mind them in unfashionable colours like white). I have a horrendous amount of books (1000+ hardbacks in slipcases for a start) and just fitted out a whole new flat with shelving for about £200.

I'd love to take a picture of my anime collection but it doesn't get displayed as well as my books, not to mention it's currently split between 3 different houses... One day I'll have a big enough place for everythign (damn you London prices).

 

[ilmaestro]

Your place must be pretty big now if you have room for 1000+ hardcover books on bookcases. ^^;

But that sort of shelving is the sort that I currently have now. It is OK, but looks its price imo and I would like a couple of nicer bookcases.

I went for Ikea Billy with the extension units on top:

I went for Ikea Billy with the extension units on top:

Is that this? Looks a bit better than the Argos ones I have for most of mine. Still looks a bit too "new", though. I want some bookshelves that look "old". :-/

 

[Joshawott]

Wait Shiroi Hane, how tall is your room?!

I have many Ikea Billy bookshelves. They're pretty sturdy once built and the shelves don't bend under stress nearly as badly as Argos ones I've had. The "dark wood effect" ones have a bit more of a natural/old look about them. The nicest old-looking bookshelves are always made from the real thing, but it tends to come at a significant premium.

Wait Shiroi Hane, how tall is your room?!

I'm guessing that's real Victorian architecture, the time of grand avenues when space was there to be wasted. My old flat had ceilings at least 9ft high. Better than the cancerous mock Georgian shoeboxes which rapidly infect every available brownfield site today.

Shame my house is cheaply made (stud walls for example 9.9). If I sit up on my bed (which is a bunkbed; just with the bottom bit as a desk etc) I'd hit the roof.

@ilmaestro, my place isn't very big really (eugh London rent) but I live by myself so there's no one to stop me filling the entire apartment with shelving and hoarding books/anime/video games/CDs/whatever else. If I'm completely honest not all of my books have made it to the shelving anyway, there are a few still boxed up under the stairs...

Most of my shelves are the IKEA 'Billy' ones too. They are a bit better than the Argos ones, but depending if you want the nicer finishes (I've gone for the black-brown in the living room, but the same white as above in my bedroom) they are a bit more pricey. To be honest even the Argos ones I used to have look fine and are pretty sturdy, as long as you don't buy the 'Value' ones.

My roof is pretty high too, I've been wondering whether I should get those extension units. How do they attach on?

 

[Shiroi Hane]

It's not tidy any more - I took that while still moving in before they were filled up, and that was a few years ago now too... I have three of those wide ones and one of the smaller ones (on the left). I also have a Benno CD/DVD unit stuffed with games, and a CD unit that was here when we moved in with actual CDs in it. And an old bookcase mounted on the other wall with Dr Who and other paperbacks, and some old shelves next to that with misc books, and a cupboard with kiddy books I didn't want to get rid of...

Wait Shiroi Hane, how tall is your room?!

Regular height?

The only problem I have is that the back, which are hardboard tacked on, tend to pop out and it is impossible to get them back on from the front. White is the cheapest (and some I also got reduced as they were slightly damaged in places that don't show).

My dream is a room filled with those bookshelves on wheels with the big handles on the side.

I can't remember to be honest ^^;
I think it was some of those metal things you turn with a screwdriver which lock into place on metal spindles.

As coincidental as it may seem, I was inspecting IKEA Billy units earlier today, along with the Morebo and Valbo options. All three can accommodate Skubb and Flört containment solutions.

I usually view shopping with disdain, though the store in question sweetens the deal with complementary refills at the refreshment area.

Hmm, this sounds intriguing indeed. Might have to take a look when I'm off work next week.

The nicest old-looking bookshelves are always made from the real thing, but it tends to come at a significant premium.

Pff, 50% off? Paupers and their "sale items". (But seriously, I would love a bunch of things like that. The ones that can slide close together and be pulled out on wheels that Shiroi mentions are pretty cool, but far too modern an invention to be truly awesome).

 

[Shiroi Hane]

Of course, while I'm wishing then a proper library with wood and leather and those ladders that slide around on brass rails would be nice.

--edit--

Oh, and a general thing about Ikea - the notch on the back is way too small to fit over UK skirting boards, at least the ones we've always had.

Finally got the hard part of the room swap over - moving my anime and manga, so here are photos of my collection as of 02/04/12.

Due to the low quality of the 3DS' camera, I decided to take a photo of each row of my bookshelf, to give a better idea of what I actually own, so here we are. For illustrative purposes, here are the tops of my two bookshelves (where I display my favourite items):

Eww that image quality. Anyway, onto the more in depth pics. By the way, if a row appears more than once, it's because the 3DS is stupid and ends up taking a picture of things that I do not see on the screen when I take the photo.

Here we have my Madoka LE, my Haruhi LEs, my signed Pokémon Black box (signed by Masuda and Sugimori) and some misc. merchandise. The book on top of the manga is the printed version of the novel I wrote for my extended project.

Photobombossom there.

The only anime/manga related titles here are Arcana Hearts 3, Bleach: Soul Resureccion, some Shonen Jump issues and How to Draw manga books.

My assorted non-box set releases. Only the last rack doesn't have any anime on it (only the last 2 of the third rack aren't anime). Couldn't be bothered to try and take photos of them xD.
My DS game collection (yes, aside from Ghost Trick, Dragon Quest IX, Final Fantasy III, Megaman Starforce, Mario Kart DS and Super Mario 64 DS, all of the lower row are Pokémon games):

Josh's room looks so clean!

Probably because I've only just moved stuff into it, so I haven't had a chance to make it messy yet.
