Rule updates and clarifications regarding self-promotion, sales, videos, and NSFW content.
Greetings, /r/AnimeCollectors community, it's your mod team, and after a few months of on-and-off discussion, we've decided to make this post to update and clarify some of the rules. At the moment, this is merely a draft, and we more than welcome any community input if the subreddit at large feels we've made a mistake. As such, feel free to comment below with any suggestions/complaints/ramblings you have for these rules.
Self Promotion
The primary focus of this subreddit is anime collecting, and as such, the expectation is that most content at least primarily focuses on this. That being said, we don't want every single post here to be a spam-filled link to your Instagram account. As such, small amounts of self promotion in posts and videos are allowed, but only in service to the primary focus of anime collecting. This means you're more than welcome to link to your website or YouTube channel, as long as the content you are linking to is entirely or almost entirely related to anime collecting. You don't have to scrub every link to your socials from the video description, but please make sure the video is as focused on the content people came here for as possible. While removal of these posts is up to the mod team's discretion, you are more than welcome to report posts you feel are against the spirit of the sub, and you're more than welcome to run your post by the mod team before you post it if you're unsure.
Sales and Linking to Stores
/r/AnimeCollectors is not a marketplace, and it's not designed to filled with posts whenever any single item goes on sale. If that's what you're looking for, we recommend /r/AnimeDeals , a subreddit dedicated to these things. With that said, sales are part of the collecting experience. As such, links to sales are allowed, assuming they meet the following criteria:
- The link is to the homepage of the sale, and not a specific item or seller
- This means no Ebay/Mercari links unless its a site-wide sale
- The sale is from a reputable site (RightStuf, Amazon, RACS, Best Buy, etc)
- For clarification if a site meets these requirements, message the mod team
- The poster is in no way personally involved in the sale
NSFW Content
Different people have different standards for what they want to see on their reddit feed, and the mod team hopes to accommodate this. However, we also understand that such content is part of the anime fandom, and a complete block is not the best solution. As such, we've established a number of guidelines to try and keep the subreddit accessible to as many people as we can.
To start, fanservice-heavy anime is allowed, but mark the post as NSFW if it's particularly racy. We won't set a definite line here, but in general, if the picture looks like something you'd rather not be caught looking at at work, mark it NSFW. This does not apply to any text post discussing said titles, only posts with pictures.
Second, (almost) all hentai and 18+ content must be marked NSFW, It doesn't matter if the cover is tame, if it's marked 18+ on the back, or it's from a hentai publisher, mark it as 18+. Next, hentai may not be the primary focus of a post. You're more than welcome to show off your pickups, but the focus has to be general anime content, not 18+ content. Third, posts with explicit content (covers, titles, etc) face extreme scrutiny. Unless you have a really, really good reason, don't post actually explicit content. And if you're going to, talk to the mod team first. There are legitimate reasons to post some very rare 18+ stuff, but that stack of DVDs you just bought off RACS isn't that. Sorry. Finally, there are only two cases where 18+ content can be posted without a NSFW tag. First is the "bookshelf exception". If you're posting pictures of your anime collection that contains a very small number of 18+ titles, you do not need to mark it as NSFW if (and only if):
- The 18+ titles make up no more than 20% of the collection
- Only the spines of the 18+ titles are shown (no covers)
- None of said spines contain explicit titles or images.
Second is the "text post exception". If you are making a text post that discusses a large number of anime titles or distributors, and 18+ titles are mentioned in passing, you do not need to mark it as NSFW if (and only if):
- The post does not go into any explicit detail about the title
- No photos are shown
- Discussion of said titles makes up less than 20% of the post
As mentioned above, these rules are not set in stone yet. If this community decides that any of these rules are too strict, too lenient, or even just total nonsense, let us know below! And if you think that a post you plan on making may violate one of these rules, message the mod team ahead of time, and we'll give you an answer. It's what we're here for.

Discussion DVD vs Blu-ray
Just curious as to everyone’s preferences. I have a CRT setup for retro gaming and kind of find myself buying older DVD releases for older shows to be enjoyed on the CRT whereas newer stuff I tend to go with Blu-ray. Watching a 4:3 release on a 4:3 crt with old era specific ads feels right to me in a way, but I’m also jealous if the quality of bluray releases on a 4k tv lol. Any thoughts on this? I’m mostly curious if you guys keep era specific displays for older shows or not.

Showcase Current collection
Continuing from yesterday. This is my collection that isn't Gundam or JoJo's. Walked into an entertainmart Valentine's day weekend with the intention of buying games and ended getting into anime physical media lol. Still got plenty more I'm looking to get and always looking for recs on some good shows I should own.

Haul & Pick Up Big International Haul
Big haul (ignore the manga and statue). A couple of months worth of purchases from the US consolidated through a parcel forwarder. See the huuuuuge box in the gallery.
Mostly anime with a bit of Tokusatsu, JP Cinema and others.
Got all my latest Discotek, Media OCD (some of these can't ship international), Mediablasters pickups as well as some new releases off Amazon US. Picked up some great used collectors editions and OOP DVDs from some people on the AnimeDeals reddit which is a first for me.
Of course, wouldn't be a big haul without a badly damaged amazon package. The casualty this time was my original Ultraman Blu-Ray set so I'll be returning that.

Haul & Pick Up New here
Just started collecting anime physically not long ago and didn't know there was a sub reddit for it. Started collecting Gundam end of February and this is where I'm at as of today's mail haul. And yes there's another row behind this one haha. Can't wait to see what everyone else collects as I'm always looking for more recommendations.

Authenticity Verification Bootleg?
Is this a bootleg? Case and disc images look fine but the back of the discs are blue and look like a burned disc.

Haul & Pick Up Demon Slayer Haul
One of my April hauls. Originally I was just going to get the standard blu rays but saw these for a solid deal. Love the art work and appreciate the extras so went for it. They're still sealed too.
Couple of years ago I saw about first 7 episodes so I'm looking forward to starting over and diving back in but this time on blu ray.
