I've quite a few times brought old things back from DVD to re-seed some torrent. Then people are grateful.
Saras:
I keep the shows I consider to be good, I also rewatch some of them from time to time. However, most rewatches tend to be background noise while I occupy myself with something else.
Having said that, I'm quite picky and considering that I've had this hobby for what is nearing a decade. I only have about 250 to 300 or so gigs of the stuff stored.
Belmakar:
I've only got about 1.8TiB (+ an unknown amount of anime OSTs and manga) in varying quality and languages (when I started, I usually preferred german dubs or subs, because my english wasn't as good back then, and I once accidentally downloaded a spanish subbed version of a show)...
And at least in my case I keep the stuff because a lot of ppl I know are into anime as well, and every once in a while they ask me where they could get some series they heard of, or recommendations, and it's always nicer to be able to give them a stick with stuff matching their request (and maybe some stuff I think they will enjoy as well) than giving them some generic sounding answer (my sources usually are bakabt, anidb and google, but it still sounds like I don't want to give them a proper answer). And sometimes I like to rewatch stuff as well (did so multiple times with Clannad and ~AS~, Lucky Star, Noir, .hack//SIGN, to name just a few)

About 5TB of stuff that is incomplete and not watched(meaning the entire series isn't watched). No raws or hentai either. I'm also redownloading everything in 1080p as well so it will grow substantially.

Sadly it's mostly 1:1 copies of shows. I love netflix.... and the old video stores.

So it's not logical to you? I mean who really cares TBH if you keep everything mediocre or not? I mean people by DVD's of movies that suck and keep them, this isn't any difference.

This concept of keeping watched movies/anime is so foreign to me. Firstly, i'd probably never re-watch something, and if i wanted to i could always download it again, cause hey, i pirated it anyway. And you're keeping the ones that you didn't really enjoy? I could understand keeping the masterpieces that might have some re-watch value in 5 years from your first viewing when you forgot most of it, but keeping random slap-stick ecchi crap sounds just preposterous.

there may come a day when it will not be on the internet anymore. there could be a time when i don't have internet service. it's fine with me if you don't wanna keep anything around, but i'll at least have something to watch.
