Well, let me fire up my spread sheet and see. Um, 70 on DVD (that's counting multidisk sets like Fushigi Yugi, Bubblegum Crisis or Tenchi Muyo OVA's as one item and things like the 4 separate disks of Serial experiment Lain as 4 items so that's just a rough figure). Also got about a dozen on VHS, but don't buy tapes anymore. Kinda lucky actually... I work with a guy who is such an otaku that he's got about a 3-4 foot stack of LD's he's imported and uses scrips and a computer gen-lock to create his own subtitles on his wide-screen... that's how I got hooked on this stuff and saw Mononoke Hime before Disney approached Ghibli Studios about doing an English dubbed American release. So, I've seen a few things you can't get, unless you want to import and know Japanese (I didn't mention anything you can't order from Amazon, DVD express or http://www.animenation.com/ ) If you do know Japanese then you can get some fun stuff here: http://www.amy.hi-ho.ne.jp/jigs/index.html (they're still heavy into LD over there though and their DVDs may be coded to region 2... they don't use PAL like Europe though). You might check some of your local comic book shops (they sometimes carry manga translations and so may also become meeting places for anime clubs. Universities also sometimes have active clubs).
