Thanks for your info, it was very helpful.  I'll keep on revising the results as long as you guys keep responding.  I'll share whatever flukes come up that seem significant.  However, I don't want to share any findings yet for fear of contaminating you guys with ideas of what your answers should be.

Hmm, people are still replying to this?  My report's over, but I might as well keep looking into this; it's pretty interesting.  Well, I promised results, but I don't want to contaminate the responses; here's a little tidbit, then.  Across all anime fans, almost exactly half of the DVDs bought are of shows that have already been seen.  Keep up the responses!  Tell your friends!

Also, feel free to respond even if you don't buy any DVDs and/or watch any fansubs, so long as you watch anime in general.  Or even if you don't - but if you don't watch any anime, please mention that.  BTW, it makes it easiest for me if you format your responses like >>15 did.
