I just went through my collection of everything Japanese oreinted (games, manga, movies, etc.) and I decided to just calculate it all into how much I spent. Granted, I didn't buy all of these in the same are; some were bought at out of business sales, others at pawn shops, and just some stuff at conventions. I tried to keep that in mind when I did my calculations. It turns out that I have spent at least $526 on posters, video games, merchandise, anime, and a whole bunch of other stuff over the past 3 years! Man, I don't know if I should feel happy or depressed...
Three years ago I decided to calculate how much I'd spent on manga. When I broke $200 I just stopped, lol.
I'd calculate the total value of everything Japanese I've pirated, but I have a feeling it'd probably crack $1,000.
Oh no. You have a terrible addiction. You should take up smoking, that's a better thing to use your money on.
I know, and that came out to $175.33 a year or so. However, it's sad because about 60% of my collection I got this year.
