As long as it's Ghibli, Hosoda, Shinkai, Redline, GitS, Akira, In This Corner Of The World, and Satoshi Kon, I don't mind.
It's not a great film. It's quite pretty, though. But it's Shinkai so that goes without saying.

It means you got a lot of trash to get rid of.
Anyway, I brought My Name a week ago and man, I miss buying Blu Rays. It felt so good not seeing any compression that streams have.

Good man :D Perfect Blue and Millennium Actress need to be seen, if not possible to be owned.
i mean, if you think of the nature of themes and tone of western animation vs japanese animation there just are more movies being released in japan that fit your tastes and demographic. Youre not the target audience for most Western animation, but you are for Japanese stuff.
In contrast with the OP, I have at least 85 western animation blu-rays in my collection, but only 6 anime blu-rays.
People like what they like, OP. Own it!

Pretty much my take.
Modern Western Animated films are much more comedy orientated which for me is not as appealing.
It's definitely what the masses want going by the box office sales, but just not for me.
That's my collection of animated stuff so far. It's missing a few things that I own. Mostly: Belladonna of Sadness, Waltz with Bashir, Paprika, and Tekkonkreet. I also own the second special edition of Cowboy Bebop series (which is in an album like cover).
It's not even a tenth of what I want my full collection to be one day (I have a damn large list), but I only started collecting 3 years ago and I'm a broke AF college student who can only afford like 4 movies a year, soooo...
So, if you count the Japanese animated movies I own, it totals to 13 (I think), not counting the Cowboy Bebop series twice, but including the movie.
If you count the "western" animated movies I own (not including the duplicate of the Yuri Norstein collection I own) it totals to... 13. Pretty cool, I have an even split!
Yeah, this was also just an excuse to show off my animated movie collection. I know it's pretty lame and small, but again, I only really got into animation 3 years ago and I ain't got no money.

I've seen this misspelling for ages and I have no idea why it continues. It's 'weeaboo' with two e's.
People clearly need to read more PBF.
that you like one type over another. Next question.
(whats your fav by the way?)
Is it because streaming services petty much cover most of the latest american animated films and shows?
