OK, so I've got a slight addiction to anime. I've scanned all my anime DVDs in with Delicious Library using my iSight. With as many DVDs as I own, Delicious Library has some issues. Scanning too many at once will cause it to somehow skip some cover images from Amazon and it doesn't seem "smart" enough to scan Japanese DVDs from Amazon Japan when they aren't available in the normal Amazon (meaning there is no way to tell it to scan multiple sites if it isn't in the main one set in the preferences). It also will incorrectly scan some UPC codes for some odd reason. There is also no way to get a total of the amount of money I've spent on DVDs or any method to get the total number of DVDs in my collection (since many of the scans are box sets). It's also very, very slow.

Because it has no decent export options whatsoever, I had to use DeliciWeb--which is free--to export my collection. Some of the strings are in French for some bizarre reason or another. It is also extremely slow to create the HTML files to disk. For some bizarre reason as well, it takes forever to alphabetized titles. And it cannot export only specific libraries (so some of my non-anime DVDs are in the output). It was easy enough to use even if I couldn't click on any of the buttons on the only window that shows up on launch.

I uploaded the entire thing using Transmit. I just dragged the files/folders inside the "Site Delicious Library" folder that DeliciWeb created on my Desktop and dragged them into the destination folder on the FTP server. Problem is, it's also extremely slow and actually died for twice. I couldn't resume the upload until I quit and relaunched Transmit. To resume the upload I had to navigate into the specific folder with files that it didn't upload on my computer and the FTP server, select all on my computer and then drag them into the destination folder. Of course, I clicked the Skip button for all as to not re-upload files I had already uploaded. I couldn't just drag in the original top level items as it wanted to recreate the folders and clicking skip on those would cause it to skip all items inside the folders as well and I really didn't much want to babysit Transmit.

So with all that said, here is my anime DVD collection. I own many more non-anime DVDs than shown but I didn't care to scan them all. My non-anime DVD collection is about 1/5th to 1/8th the size of my anime DVD collection, depending on how you count (via UPC code or via DVDs in each box set).

Update: I've taken photos of my collection in case there are any disbelievers out there. View it here.

And don't forget, beware the cyberbullies.
