Reader’s Question:
Are there any movies or anime that you find yourself buying every time they release a new edition? Personally, I feel like I have to buy the latest releases of the Super Sentai series because it’s one of my favorite franchises.
My Favorite Collectibles: Movies and Anime
Hey there! So,
I recently stumbled upon this reader’s question about movies and anime that we can’t help but buy every time a new edition comes out. It got me thinking about my own collection and how I sometimes feel like I’m on a never-ending treasure hunt for the next shiny release! You know, I’ve been on a bit of a binge myself. I’m that person who can’t resist picking up the latest version of my favorite shows and films. I mean, who doesn’t want to have the best quality possible, right? It’s like when you finally get to see your favorite stand-up comedian in person after laughing at their specials for years—there’s just something magical about experiencing it all in its best form! One franchise that I can totally relate to is Super Sentai. I haven’t dived deep into collecting it (yet!), but I do have a soft spot for tokusatsu. The costumes, the over-the-top action, and let’s not forget the humor—they all bring back such vivid memories from my childhood in Osaka. I remember gathering with friends to watch the latest episodes, laughing and debating who our favorite ranger was. Those were some good times!
My Own Collection Quirks
Now, let me tell you about my growing collection. It’s a bit of a mixed bag, to be honest. I’ve got everything from classic horror like “Night of the Living Dead” to mind-bending masterpieces like “A Clockwork Orange.” And yes, I’ve bought them in every format you can imagine: VHS, LaserDisc, DVD, and now Blu-ray. It’s like a nostalgic trip down memory lane every time I dig through my shelves. I still chuckle when I think about the time I decided to organize my collection. I was so pumped, snacks in hand, ready to tackle the mess. But I ended up getting so lost in nostalgia that I sat on the floor for hours, watching clips from “Neon Genesis Evangelion” and “Macross.” My kid walked in, looked at me like I was a total goof, and asked, “Can we watch something else?” Kids really have a way of grounding us, don’t they? The other day, while sorting through a few Blu-rays, I realized I had duplicates of several films. Apparently, my love for “Lupin III: The Castle of Cagliostro” knows no bounds! I mean, how many versions does one person need? But hey, each edition feels like a little piece of art, right?
