I have a folder called Anime - inside of which has all my anime. That's about it. Every now and then I will run a batch rename utiltiy on my Bleach folder to get rid of the extra stuff so it just says "Bleach 202" or whatever.

I really don't care who put it out or what format/quailty it was encoded in.

Originally,I'd be burning them to discs immediately once the torrent finishes.

Now I usually wait a bit before burning.

But this year I hardly have the time to burn stuff so I leave it on my terabyte drive in folders like [Kateikyo Hitman Reborn!] and just shove the corresponding anime in there.

Haven't sorted out Fate/Stay Night yet, hence the directory name. I've been thinking about splitting into "series", "ova", and "movies" directories.

Damn, your collection's tiny! You've got some good choices, though.

sound like a great idea.

My current order is quite a mess....

And some other places where I put some anime because of the lack of the space in these two places

But I kind of keep most of the anime titles in utorrent sorted by tracker I got them from...em mostly box and off anime

I think we've all been around that idea some time during our archiving life. Imo, too much of a bother. This is how I arrange my files:

Stuff like One Piece, Bleach, Sengoku Basara, Naruto Shippuuden and Hitman REBORN doesn't have a group name since it's simply too busy to have four or five group names in the same folder name.

Everything that doesn't have a CRC in the filename, has a .sfv file. I'm kind of anal regarding corrupted files. Last night I set RapidCRC to check all of my files in my 1TB external. Luckily none were corrupted when I woke up this morning. I do these checks once in a while.

WHEN I organize my anime, it's by the standard:

Anime ---> Series ---> Seasons
OVA
Live Action

Ok, now I think I like your way the best. You are very organized my friend.

I used to just have a huge clusterfuck "Anime" folder.
Recently put in a bit of time to make "Anime: Rebirth".

Now I've got it into Movies, OVAs, Unwatched, Watched, and Watching.

DarkT · « **Reply #32 on:** July 18, 2010, 05:18:58 AM »

1 directory named "Last seen episode" which contains the last seen episodes of the like 3-5 anime series I follow... Now less I guess, needless I completed, alchemist ended a while ago...

failboat · « **Reply #33 on:** July 18, 2010, 10:46:49 AM »

In Soviet Russia, Files organize YOU!

Naw, I don't has much space on this Hard Drive. 50 Gigs stock, so that leaves, after music/games, around 10-13 gigs for Anime/Movies. That's why after I watch it, I try to seed to AT LEAST .500 (To seem like nice guy, ya?) And then I delete it.

I organize them by the source/quality... so it looks like this:

(click to show/hide)

Also, I've written ~100 DVDs, all with LightScribe image on them from the respective anime. Took about 1hour/DVD, not including the time it took to design the cover and search for the image. I amaze myself with how much time I can dedicate to stupid stuff.

I also like how you organized them by quality, though I prefer an External Hard Drive to burning DVD's. They will be a thing of the past soon.

Some ppl might of seen my file system setup from my bot thats some times online. I hate it when its not organised, drives me fkn crazy.
Well on to the stupidity. Alot of people hate this method of sorting its to hard for them to find what they want.
Takes effort to find the year of the show they want.

Yep its sorted via year then lists the Animes Translated Name and its status [100%CRC] or [Ongoing].
Every file is renamed and CRC checked against the official CRC at AniDB.

In your case ('cause of your major seeding) it's needed I think so nothing wrong with that. Don't you have like 5-6 TB of stuff?
