For keeping track of my anime and manga collection, I do everything manually in Excel. Started collecting around 2005 and fortunately started playing around with Excel around 2006. It's still a work in progress (and has been since I started it lol), but at least I don't have to worry about losing track or (accidentally) double-dipping. And with a Windows Phone, I can easily view the Excel file. I want to eventually use Access, but I'm still unfamiliar with that program; plus I wouldn't be able to easily view it on my phone without going to servers and databases all that...


That is one gripe I have with Delicious Library is that there isn't a mobile component. They did briefly launch a iOS app for the iphone but had to pull it after Amazon changed their terms of use when pulling meta data from their systems. It would be really nice to be able to reference my library when on the go. Otherwise I'm happy with the application. I jumped to using it after I had to break down and box up my manga since I had no room to keep it out. I wanted to be able to know which container which volume was in if I needed to get to it. I store my manga in 70qt rubbermaid containers that can hold 75-110 volumes depending on book size. Currently, have about 30 vol. in box #6....

I wish ANN would review films that aren't easy for US fans to find. How else will we know about them? I love finding out about hidden gems like that.

I miss the Buried Treasure column. That was always such a good read (except for the time that Serial Experiments Lain was featured; eff that). Although I never really went out and got ahold of those rare titles after reading about them, I still appreciated the focus on obscure or lesser-known titles.

We get the opposite reaction when we do that. People complain that it isn't fair to review films they don't have easy access to.

Buried Treasure ended because Justin had basically covered everything he wanted to. There wasn't much left.

The Mike Toole Show ostensibly replaced Buried Treasure, though, in terms of coverage.

I'm at the part where Zac and Justin are talking about old-school anime clubs: hmm, doesn't seem that different from my school's anime club , other than the fact that all the shit brought is digital fansubs.

Man, my anime club is a complete clusterfuck though; people come there more to socialize and we never commit on shows so its ghetto as hell, lol

Out of sheer curiosity, I'd love to see Magical Powers Ice Hockey. Spirit Bomb Slapshot!
