And besides I read around about Nagi's questionable virginity and the mad fanboy who destroyed his collection. I was interested to ask if anyone else did that kind of stuff to their collections, or would do so.

Well, we're trying to drop that subject and move on since there's been plenty of ridicule hurled at the misogyny of the "purity" crowd.
Its also off-topic to this thread.

Spoiler for my thoughts that are off-topic to the thread, YMMV:

But think about it. A 'grown man' destroying his own collection ($$) because a character in the story who has already stated early on they had a previous "someone they liked" (which means serious in any setting) and because that someone now appears in the story --- he calls her "second hand goods" and has a tantrum.

Its infantile at best, smells of misogyny, and is indicative of the emotional and social state of a person who would do that.

Probably the nastiest I've ever felt in a similar situation is when I decided Lucas was wrecking any pretensions Star Wars had of being 'mythologically compelling". I sold my stuff, gave it to kids, ebay'd it because it ceased to have emotional value to me. This was "serious business" because I credited the original Star Wars movie (back in the late 70s) with being a major motivator for my youngest brother (12yrs old at the time) to live an extra year (a genetic disorder was killing him). He must have seen Star Wars 100+ times that summer in the late 70s. The local theatre stopped charging him once they got to know him. So I had a lot of emotional attachment to the franchise and plenty of excuse to be irrational --- but no I didn't have a bonfire or throw things against the wall.

As far as anime series go, there was one eroge series I'd gotten very interested in to the point of buying most of the figures, the CDs, the game, etc. before the series was halfway done. Then the series just basically went to hell from a structural and transitional perspective (not because of "which girl was chosen" -- just the lamity of the melodramatic way they got there). Did I burn all my stuff? Pbffft. I'm selling the merchandise to those who liked the series nonetheless.
