sometimes i don't understand the complete obsession to anime and collecting everything that has to do with it..especially when it is so expensive. i like anime as much as anyone but i don't want to pay that much for a hobby..lol i guess thats why i took up knitting...

If only anime were my most expensive hobby... Well some people get really wrapped up in thier hobbies, it's not all that unusual for someone to have thousands of stamps or massive stacks of baseball cards, so why not anime? Not that I have much of a collection, but I want more!

Hobbies may be expensive, but to those that have them, cost means nothing. I myself have several hobbies, some are far more expensive than others. But a lot of people want the best, and something they can be proud of. And money isa very small price to pay for something that allows them to feel good, as well as enjoy.

Yup, I very much agree. And even so, Art-san, knitting can be very expensive. I'm actually currently working on something for my sister, and the wool I bought was this really beautiful, pinkish kind of wool. Don't know why anymore, but I remember that I payed a lot of money for it.
A hobby doesn't have to be expensive, I know mine really aren't that much. But it doesn't matter if it is expensive or not, as long as it makes you happy, like Eleeri-san said.

Well,speaking as the guy that has the biggest collection of AMG! merchandise and has been collecting that and anime in general for 12 years. I can honestly say that I don't have a clue as to what the reason for my obsession, other than I really love the series and don't mind paying for it. Hobbies are basically a getaway from frustration. If it makes you happy, and you don't go overboard, there's nothing wrong with it. Now when is that new poster of Kikuko Inoue I bought gonna get here? :P

Yes they are. And I prefer to think of myself as "insanely dedicated" vs. obsessive. I mean, I don't have EVERY AMG! item there is, nor do I stalk Kikuko Inoue.( although I gotta admit, I'm running out of room to store all this stuff. And Kikuko just HAD to live 4500 miles away. DAGNABIT!) :P

Oh I'm sure I'll get a good glance at her, as her bodyguards are beating me to a bloody pulp for getting too close. :P
