Your versions of Pokémon Indigo league do they have many of the banned episodes included? Also I have a large collection of blu ray and dvd anime myself (mostly after watching your anime reviews and deciding after replaying the video over and over again that I would decide on watch/purchasing it) I’ve recently just purchased monster from Australia as you recommended but you do undermine it alot. My friend who is Hollywood mad and has no interest in anime praised the hell out it which to me this anime will take my second most favourite anime spot of all time just under deathnote (as that anime gave life to your channel and was one of the anime that I would really like to purchase on blu ray but just have not found the time to do so) also your garden of sinners review made me purchase the exact same boxset as the one you are presenting to us at the end of the video. (£80-100) is the blu ray which I would NEVER dream of paying. Thanks for recommending so much anime and one day I will have a bigger collection than you... well you had a head start seeing as you’re 9yrs older than me😕 and if you feel so inclined please leave a heart on this comment so I know you have read this🤗

Your story about Garden of Sinners and your wife buying it for you made me heart swell, not just because it's so wonderful but also it reminded me of when I first moved in with my also now wife and for Christmas she bought me Neon Genesis Evangelion Perfect Collection black box, of the original ADV dvd set, because she knew how much that show meant to me and how much I had always wanted that set. It wasn't cheap either. And I still cherish it.

FMA and Black Butler was like that for me but more cause I found out that Funimation’s rights to them were going to be up very soon so I had to rush to get them. Thankfully my bf helped me get both sets of Brotherhood via eBay and season one of Black Butler via that or Amazon. Eventually bought season two from my bff (long story on that) and still need FMA 2003. Only have a few of the single volumes of that. I also got Shiki at Best Buy after finding out Funimation was losing that too as I haven’t watched it yet and my bff has a one time limit on borrowing her copy as it’s her favorite anime.

Literally video I've been waiting for for 6 years! It was worth the wait.

Man, seeing you recall all these beautiful memories with each release fills me with enviable happiness. Now I really want to look through my own shelves and remember all the fun I had watching/picking up each. So glad you were able to film this video for us-it’s been a long-awaited watch, at least for me!

This video was a really nice, relaxing watch. I like seeing when people have little stories about what order they bought stuff in and how or why they bought them, or little grievances with releases, since nobody has the same experiences with building a collection, so I’m glad you got around to making this. I’m the same with buying physical even if I can watch it through streaming, I kind of get hung up on preserving stuff for me to watch/read/play for if I ever want to again, and the uncertainty with streaming means I still buy physical when I can.

Man I wish Gigguk and Arkada collab again. Both have grown their abilities of providing quality content, this would be a perfect time for it. But maybe I am too naive, as being an outsider looking in. Maybe there's friction between the two.

Arkada, you are hands down my favorite ani-tuber. Something about your videos is so relaxing and I'll never tire of hearing your takes. Seeing your collection is a treat. Keep up the great work!

Finally I can resume viewership of Glass Reflection since I didn't know what's in his hoard of anime before!

I’ve been waiting for this video for almost 7 years. Thank you Ark! I appreciate all that you do :) - a longtime fan

I would love to see a Excel Saga review from you.

As a UK resident who has been collecting anime DVD's/Blu-ray's for almost 15 years and had little recourse but to import a LOT of stuff back in the day because I had no idea if a series would get a physical region 2 release, I definitely sympathize with the frustration you clearly endured with obtaining some of these sets Arkada.

lmao I'm on the opposite end, I live in Germany and import all of my anime DVD/Blu-rays from the UK. It's not like there aren't many anime coming out here, it' just that I prefer english subs for some reason and the german releases don't have that and that they are stupidly expensive. For example, Dragon Maid, an anime with 13 episodes, they released it here in THREE volumes, each like 30€. That's insane. UK? I bought it as soon as it came out, last month I believe, for 25€, the entire series.

@@BigSnoopDogg64 Oh dear, I do remember the early days of single disc releases here rather than box sets, it was painful on the wallet.

I don't blame you for importing, especially when it comes to getting sub options.

I mainly started watching your videos because of your copy of Princess Tutu on your shelf. I knew you'd recommend anime I'd enjoy, and I have not yet been disappointed!

Thanks for this video. I appreciate the passion. Gonna check some of these out!

Pretty excited to hear about your upcoming review of R.O.D. the TV. It's one of the shows that got me into anime, and I actually just finished re-watching it this morning!

You got me into Bokksu with this video. I'm really liking their boxes so far, so thanks a lot! Also, amazing collection, I'm a bit envious. And the wholesome story with your wife is precious. As an aside, I think Tonikaku Kawaii is a really good show to watch if one's in a happy relationship. It highlights the best in it.

I honestly wait for your videos to come out, so thank you for making one. They are the best in my opinion, not trying to flatter you or anything.

These conversation videos are my favorite of yours. By far. It’s why I love your convention videos and there being no cons this year, this is a nice replacement for that. I know you probably don’t take video requests but the video you made about not liking to finish anime really made me want a video where you go through other people’s anime related fears and discuss them. It’s helped me reading that comment section to know I’m not alone in some of mine, the primary one being my fear to go back to anime I watched when I was younger that had a big impact on me, and being disappointed if I don’t like it as much. Clannad and Haruhi I’m also scared to watch again because I’m not sure if I’ll like it now.

This was a really nice video, made me feel nostalgic about my own shelf literally two feet away from me and how much its grown over the years haha Although seriously, that Gankustuou box set is so cool, what a great find!

Really enjoyed this! Thanks for showing us your collection! Got me wanting to look for more anime sets on Ebay :D

I love your story behind your copy of the Garden of Sinner's movies, absolutely adorable :) I really like owning physical DVDs of anime. I personally have a few Pokemon movies, Wolf's Children and The Girl Who Leapt Through Time, Origin (that's a strange film that one), some Ghibli films including Spirited Away, Tales of Earthsea (and a couple of others I can't remember right now) and my most prided set - the entire Fullmetal Alchemist Brotherhood collection, which is the first anime series (and only series) I own which was given to me as a birthday gift from my mum. Both of my aunts on my mum's side know my love for anime and one of them took me to an anime art exhibition in London that was being held last year, so I got to see loads of cool stuff there (including a full-size Astro Boy model and Colossal Titan blow up). So that was super dope. I haven't brought a lot of anime-related things recently due to what's currently going on but I do plan on getting some more movies soon.

Great video! Damn that's a good collection. Here's a weird suggestion that popped into my head. You mention you have a few things on these shelves you haven't actually seen yet. Put all these unwatched shows on a random generator list and when you have a free moment, hit the random generator and see what the randomizer picks out for you.

Really nice collection. I think my own collection is about 2/3 of yours. I too btw stopped collecting (for the most part) a few years ago. Though that has more to do with my interests changing to martial arts, tabletop RPGs and video games which generally eat up my time and money.

Also i am very proud that i still have my first very anime dvd i ever bought -> Devil Hunter Yohko ;-)

Excel saga was one of the first animes that I bought the DVDs for. The Menchi song haunts me till this day. I’ll definitely be one watching that video to reminisce.
