62. Otaku Cribs: Why Do We Collect Anime Merch?

The holiday season is upon us; the smell of plastic resin is in the air, the taste of Pocky lingers. Being an otaku comes with a few caveats, one being our obsession with collecting and in some cases hoarding adjacent-related paraphernalia of our favorite shows and manga. What does it mean to be a collector of things? Are all nerds collectors of things? We ask these age-old questions and break down our individual tastes in merch with our good friend Matt from Otaku Melancholy!    https://linktr.ee/Otakuhostclub Join us in this week’s episode at www.otakuhostclub.com continue the conversation at https://discord.gg/Ac5Gfr9 listen wherever you listen to podcasts and see our faces on youtube! https://bit.ly/3pimWhj Support us too! https://anchor.fm/the-otaku-host-club/support
