Watched/Not watched.

>>55849390
Dumped into the "Anime" tag of my torrent client.

>>55849428
I'm in the middle of watching all of these series. Except for Onmyou Taisenki, that's a rewatch.

>>55849390
>Power Rangers Samurai

I put all the dvds and blu rays in alphabetical order on my bookshelves.

Something tells me the OP is a fucking autistic

>>55849492

Currently watching is "Not Watched" on my scheme.

Also:
>didn't see Buffy on first run

Damn kiddies.

>>55849502
It's pretty dumb, but I nostalgia so hard over it that I can't help but love it.

The shit everywhere method, subfolders within folders with a sidehelping of shit to the side.

Like this.
Not remembering which ones you've watched is retarded.

>wan piss

>>55849390
>mfw you don't have other toku shows.
Omae Bukkorosu

>>55849613
I forgot to mention that the ones I've watched are either deleted or moved to my external hard drive if it was a really good show.

This folder is only for "Currently Watching"

Folders? This is what I have watched since my last hard drive died.

The rest of the stuff stays in the download folder until I watch it.

>>55849390
>Monster Rancher

OP, please, tell me where you get it!

>>55849615
I've seen too many tokus to count.

>Every Sentai from Deka to now (except for those two you see in the folder, obviously).

>Every Kamen Rider from Ryuki to OOO except for Hibiki
(I have every episode of Kuuga and Hibiki on stand-by for when I'm done watching Agito)

>And many more~

An anime folder and a manga folder.
Inside the anime folder have a folder for Incomplete series, Completed series, then a folder for movies that also has an Incomplete and Completed folder.
In the Completed folder are various folders with different genres as their names where I have completed series/movies archived.
Also in case you cannot tell from the picture every series/movie has its own icon.
Any hard copies I own are in alphabetical order on my shelf.

>>55849733
http://anime.thehylia.com/downloads/series/monster-rancher

Unfortunately, it's not the original Japanese anime with English subs. It's the English dub.

>>55849799
Why is it imposibble to find old Toonami shows in Japanese?

I have yet to find a copy of Japanese Chaotic Century.

>>55849770
>every series/movie has its own icon

I'm glad that I'm not the only one who does that.

I used to keep 3 folders, In Progress, Complete and OVA.

In Progress was for shows that were currently running, Complete was for shows that were finished/I had all of, and OVA was for OVAs as well as shows I only had 1-2 episodes of for any given reason.

But nowadays I just delete my animu when I'm done watching it so I don't really have any folders.

Like this

>>55849752
I've seen OOO and Kabuto, can I get your opinion on what I should go for next?

>>55849882
That's pretty cool how you have the titles as the Icons.

>>55849957
Kiva (comedy and horror, mostly horror, done right)
Agito (dark as fuck)
Faiz (complex story and great fights)
Blade (great story, special effects are a little meh but it's not that big a deal)

I didn't care much for OOO but if liked it, then watch Den-O, but skip its spinoff movies.

>>55849613
>Boku no Pico
....... hey, I ain't judging.

>>55849390
I actually have more folders. It's just that I prioritized which ones I was gonna watch first and then I hid the rest. It's less cluttered that way.

You guys should try it out.

>>55850275
Every anon should have that and maybe even the sequels somewhere.

I just keep it all in my torrent folder until I finish it and it seeds 3x over. I try to avoid keeping collections of anything. I find collecting abhorrent.

I've got Top Gun in there because I heard it is worth watching before you see Gunbuster.

>>55849882
>>55849390
Please enlighten me on how you did that

>>55849592
This sums up my organisation of folders.

Also, old shows get put onto a portable hard drive.

Same goes with my 4chan folders. They're complete shit. Too many years of shit to be worth dealing with.

>>55849752
Where can I get Ryuki?

alphabetically across multiple 2TB HDD's

>>55850590

>>55850590

You should be able to do it, with just that.

>>55850687
Guessing you're using transparent PNGs for the icons?

It's all organised for me on youtube.

>>55850658
Impressive.

>>55850651
http://ryuganon.wordpress.com/

Currently, these guys are SLOWLY subbing it. If you just don't care about subbing qualities, try TV-Nihon.

meh

Where's your Fourze folder?
After I don't watching a show, I delete it.

shit everywhere except i have a hentai folder and on going series folder

Watch it
Delete.

Save special episodes/series, very few make this cut.

>>55850744
.ico actually
Usually involves screen capping the logo and deleting everything in the background then saving as .ico in photoshop

Completed / uncompleted. I keep unwatched episodes off the external.
This is my completed folder. It's full of some stuff I watched and what I salvaged off my old PC after my last external died.

>>55850651
http://tvnihon.com/forums/viewtopic.php?f=151&t=1928

Please tell me you know of TV-Nihon...

>>55850718
Awesome, thanks alot.

>>55850658
That's a good idea, will have to remember that when I'm onto my third HDD.

>>55850788
I'm not gonna watch Fourze yet. Or maybe not at all. I don't know. I'm just sick of how god damn happy the show has gotten.

I want you to look at the opening of Kuuga and Agito.
Then look at the opening for OOO and Fourze.
Then get into a fetal position and cry.

Kamen Rider used to be so dark and serious, but it seems like ever since Den-O HOLY SHIT I'M RAMBLING. I'll stop now.

>recently downloaded show is stored in the hard drive.
>if they survive for 2 months without the thought "I will probably never rewatch that shit again" they go to to bin.
>If they succeeds in having a rewatch from time to time they go to the archive: My external hard drive.

Too bad my archive mostly consists of Sakuga scenes and comedies like Gintama or Azazel-san.

I deleted Derpa Onna yesterday because I never touched it since it ended.

>>55850898
Fourze just looks ridiculous, I can't bring my self to watch it.

I don't keep watched and too watch but I delete things I won't watch again. Also separate sections for mango and films.

>>55850945
^THIS^
A million fucking times this.

>>55849882

More people need to do this, it honestly doesn't take too long to do.

Here's Mine.

>>55850752
>>55850820
Thank you both! And no, I do not know TV-Nihon. I don't really watch toku anything becaue I'm lazy, but I'm curious about this one in particular because of that one image comparing Ryuki and Madoka.

You guys are small time.

>>55851117
Kinda over the top, but kinda cool.

>>55851116

>>55851116
Ryuki was pretty meh to me. There are a lot better Kamen Rider series out there. I'd say watch the first few episodes first, then decide whether or not to watch the rest. Don't just download it all at once.

>>55851117
Is that some kind of program?

>>55851279
>Filename

Where do you get those icons from?

>>55851203
No, this one.
http://archive.easymodo.net/a/image/z_W5DunLy-NyOrU_vuKCew

>>55851116
Ryuki's a great one. Actually, I like all the Rider shows for different reasons. Except Decade because it went nowhere, and Agito because it was too much like Kuuga.

>>55849390

I Don't
I deleted everything once the anime ends

>>55851383
You can probably find a bunch of packs on /rs/.

Give me a few minutes and I'll upload my folder. It has around 550 icons and it's all organized and shit. I've added a lot of icons for recent anime too.

>>55851279
No, it's definitely not a program and it definitely doesn't sort your animu into managable lists.

>>55851459
Thanks man!

-How does /a/ organize their anime?

Properly Labeled folders separated by First release and BD release.

I'm an old fag from back when Anime first hit the internet so I'm used to basic folders.

>>55851459
Those packs on rs are kinda lacking, or at least they were when I started doing this. I've had to make the majority of mine.

>>55851563
Don't you miss rmvb format

>>55851607

>>55851607

Fuck yeah, and 730 MB quicktime files for 1 episode...

All joking aside, I stuck by DivX for years. Then I downloaded Clannad in HD and that was the end of that.

>>55851574
Yeah, the packs were very lacking and unorganized. I've been making my own for a while now.

Icon pack is 50% uploaded now. Forgive my slow connection.

>>55851607
I fucking lol'd hard.

Hey, do you guys want to share your ico folders? I made a bunch and got some from a dl a long time ago, if anyone wants it I can mediafire it. Pic related.

My modest collection. I just toss everything for one series under one folder (ie, the three seasons of SnS, its ovas, and the movie are in the same folder, though in subfolders). If it doesn't belong in a series I just put it in a folder by itself in the main videos folder. Even 25 minute OVAs.

Poor Tokyo Godfathers. Still haven't gotten around to making an icon for it yet.

>anime folders
>A-L

>>55851748

>using icons

Ah, I remember those days. Back in 1996 when I would download little icons and put them all over my PC.

Not trying to insult you, but I just feel everything would be a mess if I had random icons for every folder. Though it would look cool.

>>55851810
Not messy at all really.

>>55851459
Alright, here's the pack: http://www.mediafire.com/?cg162v1ln1axc1v

I noticed I forgot a couple while it was uploading.

>>55851874
And also forgot this one.

Simple. It helps that I use MAL updater to find everything.

I use three folders with subfolders for each series:

Unwatched Anime
Partially Watched Anime
Completed Anime

Shows move episode-by-episode from Unwatched to Partially Watched, then by season to Completed.

>>55851874

Thank you, fine sir.

>>55851664
>stage6 Spice and Wolf op 1 HD

I have mine by genre ,but I am thinking about changing it.

>>55851896
Happen to have one for Shakugan no Shana III? It's the only one I haven't made yet

>>55849390
oh hi there newfag.
you should try watching shows that weren't on CN at some point. Also why the fuck did you put cartoons and anime in the same folder you fuckwit.

>>55851973
I haven't watched Shana yet, so no.

e:/Anime

why would anyone do anything else?

>>55851973
I've got one, though it's not entirely the best. Kind of hurried with it. Could use some edge blurring, but I won't notice at how small my icons are. If you want, I can upload the .ico also.

>>55851936
I stuck with XviD until I got a computer capable of running h264. Now I stick with 720p, until I can get a computer capable of handling 1080p.

I remember downloading 20MB .rm files of Sailor Moon long ago....

>>55852052
Because mine is on G:/

Downloading (usually this season's anime or a batch torrent)
Movies and OVA (don't really need to explain this one)
Completed (Finished series goes here)
Backlog (Shows that i have been putting off)

Simple and neat, of course everything is alphabetized

How do you people live with folders in a mess anyway?

>>55851874
Thank you very much

>>55852052
I use b:/

>>55852065
Thanks that saved me some time.

On my hd I got a download folder with subfolders for the season the show started. On my external hd one big folder for everything I decide to be worth keeping (not that much actually, less than 100 shows and movies, most stuff gets deleted because I would´t ever rewatch it anyways).

>>55852188
>deleted because I would´t ever rewatch it anyways

I hardly ever rewatch any of my collection, but I keep it largely for giving to other people / having available on flat network.

>>55852268
> for giving to other people / having available on flat network.


Oh yea, I also keep it for my frie-

Powerlevels nigger, do you know them?

>>55852000 here.

Made a quick Shana icon for whoever wanted it. I see someone already did it though

My external stores most of what I've seen. My laptop stores most of what I am currently watching before I move it to the external. The computer it's plugged into has seen better days and the graphics card is prone to glitching. Need to get another HD since the first one is getting full (or delete some of the shows I'll never ever watch again). That and a new computer.

>>55852297
Most of my flat have powerlevels just short of my own. I don't really associate with others outside, but those I do I am slowly raising the powerlevels of.

Outside of my house you'd be hard-pressed to tell I give a shit about anime.

How do you guys deal with anime with multiple seasons with different names that don't sort well? (SZS comes to mind).

Personally, I have a folder for the show as a whole, then subfolders for each season prefixed with a "1 - " or "2 - " etc.

>>55852268
>I hardly ever rewatch any of my collection, but I keep it largely for giving to other people / having available on flat network.

Same here, I would delete some shows that I kinda liked but didn't love, but then I think that one day I may not have internet and really want to watch it.

>>55852682
Bump because I'm genuinely curious about this, particularly for those who use different icons for different seasons of the same show.

>>55852943
I have a main folder for the series, then I just have them named whatever they're named since by the time I'm done watching them I will have their order memorized anyways.

incomplete on my internal drive, directories starting with a #
on one set of externals series that havent been watched have directories starting with @
and this set of drives is a mirror of the other set


also i need copy 10 or so more series over and update this image

Depends on the streaming website I choose for the day.

I have a main folder called Collection. Inside the main folder I have 3 folders labeled "Archive", "Movies" and "Ongoing". Inside the "Archive" folder I have 3 separate folders labeled "Backlog", "Watched" and "Rewatch". I stole this from some anon here and it has worked for me ever since.

Pic is my current backlog, which surprisingly, isn't so big.

I just watch anime online, no downloading.. I got another website to keep track of my animes.

>>55853277
>Streaming

>>55853348
I assume the other website is MAL. Just ignore the troll.

In 110 posts, I'm sure this has been said already.

But I'll say it again.

Nice icons, OP.

Do people rename files or do they keep the mess that sub groups use?

>>55853409
Sometimes. Only if I like the series.

>>55853409
I keep the files named what the sub group names them

>>55853409
>mess that sub groups use

Standards, nigger.

>>55853409
I expect the mess is there for a reason

I assume there are shell scripts/whatever that expect it that way, if so some of these may be of interest. Hmm...

>>55853409
The only time I rename files is if they're from some old as shit batch and they look hideous or they are numbered incorrectly.

>>55853409
I use WebAOM with the tracking bullshit turned off to rename all of my files. I used to just use the "standard" but having the sub group first is fucking annoying on some under-subbed shows.

Now things are named something like:
Tiger & Bunny - 18 (1280x720 H264 + AAC) [Commie] - Ignorance Is Bliss.mkv

>>55853409
i use rename-it to batch rename all files of a series once it is complete to be series name - # [group].ext

mainly because of times when ive had to change group part way through which upset file order

>>55853580
I might look into that to fix shit like this

>>55853645
If you do go ahead with it, my renaming rule is as follows:

#RENAME
DO SET '%ann - %enr%ver (%res %vid + %aud) '
IF G(!unknown) DO ADD '[%grp]'
ELSE DO ADD '[RAW]'
DO ADD ' - %epn'

Why do you have two folders for One Piece?

>>55854089
But he doesn't, he-
Oh, very clever. 8/10

I propose we crate a wiki or booru for anime folder icons. There are packs on /rs/, but those are outdated. I make my own, but it takes time and sometimes way too much effort for certain series.

>>55856586
Well for macfags (ho ho macs) they can just use a programme called SlipCover with some decent art to automatically create decent icons. Well at least that's what I use.

>>55856625

I prefer making an icon out of the logo for the series with transparency. Some logos, especially for older series, are really hard to get and if I screencap them they require tons of work to clean.

>>55856669
I see. I go for a movie poster look, but since icons should be 512x512 now it can be quite difficult to find good art at that size or greater for older series so I understand your pain.

Alright. All I need now for this season are icons for Ben-To, Working'!!, and Maken-Ki!.

Huh OP, I also use icons for my folders.

Like this.

>digimon
>toku

Get the fuck out of my /m/, faggot.

>>55857510

Ahh, and Mirai Nikki as well.

>>55850810
This.

Icon way.

>>55857817

Could you post the .pngs of the Ben-to, Mirai Nikki, and Maken icons please? I am missing those 3.

Small time.

>>55857873
Sure.
>http://www.mediafire.com/?lvjgc226tzmzclu
I've packed them in a rar for you all 3 in .ico instead.

>>55857973

Beautiful. Thank you very much.

>>55858017
So the file size isn't huge as fuck?

>>55849390
It's all in my download folder
It's a bit messy, mind you.

>>55858110
Isn't that what .jpg is for?

>>55858110
I guarantee that if instead of dithering that shit (which basically kills correlation compression) you just downsampled to an equivalent 8bpp png it would be much smaller.

>>55850651
Wait, can I have your Kaiba icon?

I have a hard drive for movies and a hard drive for series.

My manga is split into shounen, seinen, shoujo, josei and oneshots. When I find time I'm going to merge the oneshots into their respective groups. Completed series are marked with a [c], [h] for hiatus and left blank if unfinished downloads/ongoing.
Doujinshi has it's own folder, and is organized by series.

>>55857896
You could condense that list to roughly half its current size if you merged multiple seasons of the same show into one folder.

There's a folder called unsorted which has all the movies, TV shows and anime/manga and after properly fixing the names, tags and make it XBMC compatible I move it to the proper folder.

I don't store anime apart from a few selected series. I have a fast and unlimited connection, so why? i can download 13 eps from baka in ~4-5 minutes

>>55858313
Here's the HDD all shit arrives to

Only started archiving earlier this year when I got my new PC, so my collection isn't the biggest. I make most of my own icons, pretty easy with IcoFX.

>monster rancher
op is not a fag

Where do you guys find all these logos. ;_;

>>55859478

I got most of mine from /rs/ and I make a lot, but here is a pack some kind anon posted.

>>55851874

Anyone got a decen Phi Brain icon without a black background?

>>55859508
Ah, that's great!
Thanks.
