There are a bunch of other ADV/Anime Network/Sentai stuff I’ve gotten since but those were either blind buys or not related to AN directly.

Updated my list. I had to take a look at my anime collection when I got home. I really need to get some more storage and get this all organized…lol And I’m sure there are a few more I’m missing too.

I remember this thread from the old forum :slight_smile:

Lets see, I remember after Suddenlink purchased my area from Charter in 2006 they added TAN in May 2007. Ever since TAN’s launch I was calling Charter and then Suddenlink to add the 24/7 channel. When they added the SVOD package I officially joined the forums and was over joyed. Prior to getting TAN I only watched anime via Encore Action/Starz. I only had two titles in my collection prior to that (The Animatrix & Cowboy Bebop Movie).

TAN opened my eyes to a whole new world of anime and titles I didn’t even know of. TAN made me into the otaku I am today :smiley:

My first DVD purchased was Welcome to the N.H.K. Vol. 1 because my cable provider goofed on an update which made me miss the third episode. TAN also introduced me to the fabulous Right Stuf which has played a major part in expanding my collection.

Ever since I have had TAN, I have purchased various anime but ADV Films dominated my collection for the longest time. Here is a list of what anime I have bought after watching some of it on TAN. After getting some of ADV’s older titles which were loaded with extras I became an extra’s junkie tracking down the version of an anime which had the most extras.
