shyguysteve Posted November 28, 2011 Report Share Posted November 28, 2011 yeah the title says it all pretty much.My point of view... I think its awesome to be able to own and download all these great animes that people have grown up with or remember in their childhoods.However the downside for me of having it all is that I got bored with it all. honestly I set my playlists up like a TV station airing them at random. But I would rather watch them like I did when I was 10 over watching them like I do now, DBZ is super cool but just being able to skip through and see all the good parts in a few hours is kinda boring. I liked watching them on TV.Does anyone else feel a downside of having so much anime? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Reptoholic Posted November 28, 2011 Report Share Posted November 28, 2011 If I ever see an anime, even If I have seen it before, I watch it from the beginning, so no. That is just me though, I like to get back into the story from the beginning, so If I ever watch the dragon ball saga, I start dragon ball, dragon ball Z, Dragon Ball GT. I never had any channels growing up, still don't, so I never watched anime or cartoons as a kid, not till this year, so I enjoy this immensely .

Katongo Posted November 28, 2011 Report Share Posted November 28, 2011 Well not at all, you see i don't really re-watch what i have already watched because i have a lot more anime to watch so i don't have the chance to go through a second time but when friends or sibling's ask for it i browse through it. So it surprising for me to hear that some people have re-watched anime's so often when there tonne's of anime out there waiting to be watched. But then again its possible that i will re-watch some anime's in the near future. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Honestly there are so many animes to watch that there is no way that you could be bored. DBZ is good and all but rewatching it a few times is kinda overkill.

shadowtheman Posted November 28, 2011 Report Share Posted November 28, 2011 If I like a series enough and the opportunity rises I buy. I liked dessert punk so I bought it. The way I see it is if you like the series enough to were you wanna re-watch it through out the years a simple disc has the potential to outlast a hard drive. Its also usually easier to bring to a friends house. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lemmingllama Posted November 28, 2011 Report Share Posted November 28, 2011 Lots of anime is a good thing. Then you can continue to watch new shows and rewatch those that are good. and if you dont want to get bored of stuff, then just get more anime rather than rewatching the same shows over and oover again. In fact, if you decide to watch stuff over and over again then either it should be awesome or you dont have enough anime. And to solve your tv woes, just get the new releases since one episode comes out every week. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or you could also try live action tv Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Badwicca Posted November 28, 2011 Report Share Posted November 28, 2011 I prefer to own. Mainly because I do like to re-watch certain series. It takes up a lot of room on the computer to just download series. However, every time I find a new series, I download it first and if the series is good enough, then I'll buy the DVDs.

shyguysteve Posted November 28, 2011 Author Report Share Posted November 28, 2011 I'll usually buy stuff for the quality, other then that its a bit of a waste of space. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ollythirteen Posted November 28, 2011 Report Share Posted November 28, 2011 I don't own anime series, but I do own Spirited Away and Howl's Moving Castle on dvd.Regarding Spirited Away I've watched it so many times yet it always feels like it's the first time. That's just great pacing for you. The only other stuff I've watched equally as much are all three Bourne movies and Daniel Craig's Bond movies.Some entertainment has to be OWNED because they never get boring.

Lelouch1199 Posted November 29, 2011 Report Share Posted November 29, 2011 I like owning anime, that way I can watch it when ever a like and enjoy all the great moments. and I am a proud owner of Bleach season one, Death Note disks 1-3, Several Movies from Studio Ghibli and over 250gb of miscellaneous anime on my 500gb portable hard drive =3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ShiroNeko-__- Posted November 29, 2011 Report Share Posted November 29, 2011 i guess ill buy it if i really really like it because i know i'll want to rewatch it again. but lately ive just been watching streams and stuff on netflix because my mom got a subscription. but i don't like how a ton of the anime is dub.

ghostwriter066 Posted November 30, 2011 Report Share Posted November 30, 2011 yeah kinda, because when people who know you watch anime, always want to borrow your stuff all the time. Not that it's a problem sometimes but then you get those people who borrow your stuff then forget that they have it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rue669 Posted November 30, 2011 Report Share Posted November 30, 2011 If you've already watched the anime you can definitely fall into that pit of "I just want to see the cool parts" and "omg this part suck, skip, skip, skip". The boring parts that you already know of become like the commercials of cable TV. Regardless though, watching an anime first time is always exciting, especially if the anime spikes your interest. I tend to own anime because, I think at least, I have some kind of OCD-like need to just HAVE IT. Even though I can just stream it online easy enough. But no... it's GOTTA BE ON MY EXTERNAL HARD DRIVE! (of if I really like the anime, in my dvd shelf) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alegend1994 Posted December 2, 2011 Report Share Posted December 2, 2011 The only downside I find is that it's a lose of money but the upsides massively outweigh this, at least for me they do. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sdtbl13 Posted December 2, 2011 Report Share Posted December 2, 2011 Sometimes I'm overwhelmed by the accessibility of it all. With so many shows made readily available for viewing whenever I often find it hard to pick one out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
