You've got a lot of nice box sets there! My collection looks so messy as I've got loads of singles scattered around that I've picked up second hand.

Thanks. I had to buy a cupboard just to organise them. :lol:

Thanks. I picked up a few of them from ebay. I'm just glad that most of them were in good condition.
 
Nice collection you have there Jatz :thumb: That reminds me, i have to get those Aria DVD's myself :)

I'll post some photos in the near future, when the dust settles down (lots of orders underway) ;)
 
A great start to your collection there Jatz. I'm always impressed by how everyone has such good taste in anime (when it comes to stuff they buy at least :p ). I also just noticed that Emo185 has DVD cabinets similar to my own, I'm not sure why I felt the need to mention that but hey *shrug*.
 
Here's some pictures of mine - this covers most of my purchases over the past two years (although a lot is hidden behind the first rows - I've had to commit that mortal sin of double-stacking) - as you can see, very messy and unorganized! I'll get round to sorting it one day! Excuse the poor quality from my phone too.





 
Nice. Which shelves are those, Lutga? They can even engulf Gurren Lagann without a problem.

(They look like mine - and I'm guessing they're probably the same line but a newer version. I want to be sure before upgrading my most worn ones :D)

They're the bog standard IKEA Billy bookcases - have had them for donkey's years, so the colour has gone a bit funky from the light. But they're so good though, you can adjust the shelves to suit difficult heights like the GL box, and they comfortably fit two rows too if you're really tight on space like I am and need to double-stack.
 
Awesome collection, Lutga! It annoys me so much when I haven't organised my DVD/Blu-Rays. :lol:

Thanks. I'd say I've only really enjoyed about half of the ones I've bought. :lol:

Thanks. I have a few more to come, too. :p

I'll look forward to yours.
 
I'm a sucker for threads like these, I really like seeing the kind of thing everyone else buys and how they organize it, you people have some really nice stuff!

So in the interest of fairness I thought I'd offer up my own paltry collection, current organizational method at the moment is "chaos" (other than that first shelf anyway).

The tachikoma is keeping the space warm for the Garden of Sinners bd box, which is sat elsewhere at the moment.

I've tried to save a bit of space by combining some things, like all 3 Mardock films, and the Black Lagoon OVA. DVDs are also suspiciously absent, as I fear I'll end up with too much stuff if I start branching out into stuff I can only get on DVD... (Though being a total hypocrite I do also own all of Satoshi Kon's works on DVD...).

Your collection is by no means small, it's a really nice collection of shows and films that are in my opinion are some of the best in the medium. You have a really nice collection you should be proud of, the S.A.C set is beautiful, as is the Ghibli Box-set. Really you seem to have all the essentials including the Patlabor Films so thumbs up for that.

At first I was wondering why you had all your amarays out of their boxes when looking at the S.A.C set in particular, but the more I looked, the more I realized it keeps everything more uniform and tidy so good call on that. Your units seem to be spacious too which I'm envious of, I can't fit half of my stuff because the shelf's aren't high or wide enough so I just have them stacked up on top of each-other for now (which hurts me mentally and physically! :p) I too tend to skip DVD's unless it's necessary, the only way to obtain said show or I'm collecting things in that series (an example is how I own the whole of Evangelion and Gunbuster on Laser Disc as I love those two series). Thanks for sharing your pics :)

Hah, thanks for the kind words!

I'd love to put stuff back in their art boxes, but those S.A.C sets are a whole amaray wider (since I've kept the extras discs boxed), and nothing quite fits when I do :(. Plus you're right, I do think it looks a little nicer when everything is more uniform, even if it does make finding something specific a bit harder...

I also have a lot of love for the Evangelion/Gunbuster (and even Diebuster) DVD sets, they were a real pain to get hold of (the R2 versions anyway). But they don't mesh well with anything else, and I'm sure I can dent my Eva tin just by looking at it... (so I've squirreled them away in that ugly looking box at that back of the first photo). I'm looking forward to spending a bazillion pounds on the Eva blu-ray release and it being too big to put anywhere, assuming it's English friendly in some way.

And yeah, Patlabor is fantastic! I was toying with the idea of picking up the 3rd film, but it doesn't seem a lot like the others, any idea if it's worth looking into?

Awesome collection. Ergo Proxy on Blu Ray makes me so jealous. Massive thumbs up for the Patlabor collection, too! :p

Yeah I keep everything in the original boxes/slipcpvers myself, but that's just me. I'm really finicky about that stuff for one reason or another, but I wish I could go with your route and just keep everything more uniform. An example is how Nausicaa never came with a slipcover since that was the first release so it's the only Ghibli Blu-ray I own without a slipcover. Some people throw their slipcovers in the bin, I couldn't do that personally!

Yup, I too love Eva and Gunbuster/Diebuster. I own the Platinum Eva Tin as well as the US Gunbuster/Diebuster DVD sets and the Japanese Gunbuster Complete Blu-ray. As you can tell Gunbuster is my favorite series :p I fear for my wallet when Eva comes out on Blu-ray this year D:

Gunbuster is my favorite show, but Patlabor as a franchise is probably my favorite. I love it to bits! The third film is pretty decent, not as good as the first two but I enjoyed it more than I expected. I don't want to spoil anything but it's a lot more horror than the rest of the series which in turn is a lot more of a thriller and political etc. Doesn't focus on the Labors themselves but on the more 'real-world' activities that would take place in that universe if that makes sense? You should give it a go.
 
Nice collection though, but you have most of the japanese blu rays that I really want (apart from SAO and blue exorcist which I really don't care for:p). I mean ufotable stuff, haruhi and GITS just your pretty lucky.
 
I'm always envious of that collection. Im obviously in the wrong line of work! Get me a job wherever you are mangaranga so I can afford all that awesomeness too!
 
Chalk me up as another admirer... I had all 3 Valkyria Chronicles art books too, up until a few months ago, when I ebayed 2 & 3 to make a little room, they just weren't as good as the first book.

Also, is the jp Garden of Words release region free or A?
