Is it about Kristen Stewart?

 

[HWR]

I reviewed that one for the website five years ago now (wow..) - it’s a solid watch!

 

[Birdie Num Num]

Rarewaves are doing 10% off until tomorrow 9pm. Also found Bocchi the Rock Volume 2 for £4.78 on there.

Bocchi the Rock!, Vol. 2

Hitori “Bocchi” Gotoh once played guitar in solitude, but ever since Nijika Ijichi roped her into joining Kessoku Band, she’s experienced everything from playing live shows to part-time jobs to shopping for instruments. All told, she’s having a good time, in her own socially anxious way. But now...

Thank you, I ordered some CR titles from Rarewaves yesterday. I forgot to add the discount code, but when I contacted them (not expecting much) they immediately gave me a 10% refund.

I need to see if i need season 2 or 3, I know looking at my emails I've got season 1 but not sure if I've picked up the other two from CEX over the years

Im curious: is your collection in a hard to reach place that you need to look at emails to see if you have them, if you don't mind me asking?

By this point you should have a spreadsheet like normal people...

 

[Girls with Guns]

Ugh, my Anime spreadsheet has a tab for every year going back to 2011, plus multiple additional tabs for my Japanese anime Poster collection, hentai Blu-ray collection, hentai Merch, and 18+ figure collection. Too many dang tabs!!

 

[HWR]

Gotta love a spreadsheet - one for anime and manga, one for TV and film. Should do one for video games really too.

 

[BrokenPhoenix]

I look at spreadsheets all day for my job, I can't bear them outside of work, lol.

If only there was a website, a dotcom for blu-ray if you will, that made recording your collection pretty easy...

Not sure if you are saying that tongue-in-cheek, as there is blu-ray.com, where you can add Blu-rays and DVDs from all over the world into your personal database, which shows as a link inside your posts under your Avatar - but not every anime gets listed in there right away, just depends on people adding them to the main database.

If you want to record all the fine detail like location, purchase date, receive date, and price for each title, then it can get a little tedious, so a regular spreadsheet locally on your computer may actually be easier to fill out. But you can always try it out and see if that would work for you.

There's also a very large and active anime forum there, of which I was one of the 3 members that coerced the admins to create a sub-forum specifically for anime - before that there was only a few anime-related threads spread randomly through the live-action Blu-ray forums. bluray.com is the only other anime forum I hang out on - that's basically my domestic/home anime forum, and this is my overseas imports anime forum...

 

[HWR]

I use bluray.com too to document my collection and lurk but if anything happened to the site my spreadsheets are there as a secondary database.

 

[Herano]

I had no idea so many people did this! What makes you guys want to document your collection? As I just walk to my shelves to see what I have. Hope this does not seem as critique from my side, I'm genuinely curious!

Quantity!

When you look at your shelves, full of discs double stacked, in two rooms, supplemented by a four side, patented floor storage system (piles), it becomes easier to search a document for what you own than the discs itself.

I have almost 8 media shelf units full of just anime Blu-rays and DVDs, and each unit has 8 shelves 3-feet wide... so that's almost 200 feet of physical anime releases if lined up in a single row... and like I said, I also document for each item in my spreadsheet the date purchased, date received, retailer, order number, format (BD, DVD, CE, LE, UE, PE, SE) Country of origin, price, shipping costs, tracking numbers, etc., all for future reference - especially to verify better pricing or if I have already purchased a specific release so I don't end up buying a duplicate copy.

 

[Lucky_Deity]

I document my collection somewhat via the Lists feature on Anime Planet but I know what I own and don't own regardless if I had it or not but I do note on there which company released it and if a release contains specials or an OVA.

For example, this is my 4K UHD / BD anime collection list - https://www.anime-planet.com/users/LuckyDeity/lists/anime-4k-uhd--bluray-collection-451702

Spreadsheets are so 90s man, just use chatgptaiknowitallthingiemajig! Oh wait, it's crashed...

 

[Puringa]

I track all my anime on MyAnimeList: I use the 'Plan to Watch' list on MAL to keep track of everything I haven't watched yet and all my watched anime are rated in the Completed section. Thus far I've never dropped an anime, so this system works for me.
