What part does animation/anime play in your DVD Collection?

At the moment, very little.<sup>1</sup> I've got the first three seasons of The Simpsons, and that's it.
<sup>1</sup> And don't think this hasn't been pointed out to me, on this very forum.

hmm,
I have Simpsons, Futurama, South Park, Powerpuff Girls, Disney/Pixar, Dreamworks, Miyazaki, Record of Lodos War, Akira ... blah blah blah...
I'd say 3/8 of my collection is animation.
I really really want Courage the Cowardly Dog

About 1/3 of my collection is anime. I started collecting all of the Disney titles because my wife is pregnant and I wanted to have something for the little guy/gal.
I also have another large section of anime not suitable for small children.

Simpsons, Futurama, some Disney and Dreamworks titles, Flintstones and Scooby-doo (recent releases) and, of course, Miyazaki (Spirited away, Kiki's delivery service and castle in the sky). Can't wait to pick up the next Miyazaki batch from Disney...

I'll be the exception here, I'm sure - almost all of my collection is anime. The reason behind this is that I can see movies in the cinema and watch US TV series on TV, but there's very little anime that I can watch on TV here in the UK. This means I end up buying quite a lot of anime TV series, and the only US- or UK-made stuff I buy is what I REALLY like and therefore want to own.

50-60% of my collection is anime/animated with about 90% of that being just anime. My DVD collection wouldn't be nearly as large as it is if not for anime. Not that I am complaining.

it plays a small part. All I have are The Simpsons Season 1 and 2, and Family Guy Volume 1. I hope to get the 3 Futurama sets sometime in the future though.

Not too big, maybe 3-4%... Simpsons, Family Guy, All Pixar, Lion King, Fantasia Anthology, Clerks Uncensored, and Animatrix. My favorite out of all of them is the Ultimate Toy Box, what a sweet set.

I'd say about 1% which if you look at some of my collection in my sig, you will say it's only the Simpsons. I LOATHE Anime, absolutely can't stand the stuff (sorry fans), & I pretty much don't enjoy animation in general, it's just to chilidish to me. I will definitely buy the Batman cartoon though when that comes out on DVD, the kid in me can't resist that.

I'd say probably a third of my collection is anime, give or take a few. Though I'm going to start working through my collection and start weeding out the stuff I just don't need/watch anymore.

308 out of 819 tiles are either animation or anime, so thats a little over a third of my collection. Anime collection specifically has picked up a lot over the past year and a half while live action has slowed to a crawl.

Maybe 5-10%. I got Akira, Ghost in the Shell, Miyazaki, Simpsons, Futurama, Family Guy, Looney Tunes,and some Disney. I will probably add some more anime. I would like to get some of the old school robot stuff like Mazinger Z and Getta Robo G, but the Japanese discs are expensive and unsubtitled.

Out of 1500 DVD's, I probably have 10-15 animated (the more recent CGI Disney's, Tarzan, The Lion King, etc. plus TV's like Simpsons, King of The Hill) and 1 anime (Kiki's Delivery Service). Not a big fan of animation in any form at all.

Less than 5%. Definitely a weak spot in my collection.

Anime: 0%
Animated: About 5%
And most of that is TV shows: Clerks TAS, Family Guy, Futurama, Schoolhouse Rock, The Simpsons and Speed Racer, plus Finding Nemo and Monsters, Inc.

About 330 titles out of 670 are animation or animated, but there are some anime box sets that only counted as 1 title (according to DVD Profiler.) I have 57 animation titles, although there are about 14 titles that really shouldn't have been counted (Who Framed Roger Rabbit, Meet the Feebles, anime, etc.)
