I delete everything except Elfen Lied and KGNE, which are both on my computer and backed up on disks. That means out of the 48 series I've seen, plus the 9 ongoing series I'm watching right now, I've deleted all but 2. If Gungrave was a bit smaller in size, I would have kept that as well.
I only deleted Hajime no Ippo because I was running out of room on my hard drive and really didn't think I'd ever rewatch it again. It was a good series, but I simply didnt have enough DVDs on hand at the time to burn a copy of that one too.

Well yes, of course only if it's "worth" the download then is it worth the burn.At least if you waste your time downloading it, you won't waste money on discs to hold it.
Personally, I'll burn anything I was willing to watch the entire series through. I'm sure most ppl are the same ;p
Sounds a lot like me.Originally posted by: complich8
So yeah, now I just let it sit on the fileserver. When I need space, I delete older, completed series that I know I'm not going to watch again. I don't download random stupid crap these days either, I only get stuff that I know I'll want to make time for, and things that friends who know my tastes (and have a lot more time to screen this stuff) have recommended. Makes life a lot easier.
Before, I downloaded exactly everything and burned it (I have an insane amount of burned CDs with stuff that I've never seen and never will). But I changed in a similar way. It was just getting out of hand.
Me too. Problem is, I usually forget about them afterwards, so half the stuff I burned I havn't even watched, besides skimming through a few eps (usually the end =P) after the download finishes.Originally posted by: Psyke
I burn everything to DVD. Currently I still have a few series on DVD which I've yet to watch yet, such as Mai Hime, Grenadier, etc.

watch everything once, then wait for my cousin to come over and watch it, then i just delete it. i've thought about burning them to cd's and all... but i realized that i wouldnt really have the time to watch a whole series over again.
Yeah, my "out of hand" realization came shortly after putting my eighth hard drive in the fileserver, and realizing that it was half full two weeks later.Originally posted by: Terracosmo

My music needs to undergo the same sort of culling that anime did though. It's up to nearly 160 gigs now, and I really only want to have about half of it, I'm finding.
It's just .... what to cut out, what to keep... it takes SO long to sort through that stuff.
I dont keep anything i download nowadays cause my comp has 30 gb.
But i have burned many shows. Like HNI,OP,HXH,Azumanga Daioh,Prince of tennis,Gundam Seed etc.
I burn everything, even the crappy animes, because I would burn them before watching them. I have about close to a 1000 cds, took me about 4 years, mostly movies though. It sometimes takes me a long ass time to download files, so it feels like a waste if I just delete them.
Since my last computer didn't have a burner I would just delete them and I wouldn't keep them cause I needed the space. Also it was a drag watching anime in it. The audio kept going while the video freezes sometimes. But now I have a burner and I'm burning away.[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-happy.gif[/img]

Total shit.

I keep what I like and burn it to disc once the series is completed. Stuff I don't like gets deleted like the Negima anime. Even after it gets liscensed and I buy the DVDs I still keep the fansubs because I respect the work that the Fansubbers put into them and they are usually translated better than what gets released.
Yeah...Negima sucked balls.
That's another one I downloaded and deleted immediately afterwards.
<@Terra> he told me this, "man actually meeting terra is so fucking big", and he started crying. Then he bought me hot dogs
I watch then burn everything...
the only things I deleted were shows that were outrageously bad (usually stopped wtaching after ep 1... or longer if i had downloaded the whole series but never past ep 4 or 5)
Added to the junk heap - He is My Master. UGH...

Most of them I delete unless their title is One Piece, Naruto, Bleach or FMP -TSR. Basically if an anime is not top notch then it has no permanent place in my archive..
You keep some lame anime.
Oh yeah, and comedy option "I put it back in the retail DVD case and put it on my shelf".
Just because you "think" its lame, doesnt make it so. So whats your all time favorite anime, pokemon.Originally posted by: Y

I wouldn't have noted it if you weren't so haughty about keeping only great anime, when it's pretty easy to make a case that the vast majority of Naruto and One Piece are skippable.
EDIT:
Ok no more derailing from me.
