What's would you want to happen to your anime collection after you die?
I'm sure a few people around here already have their wills made out so that when they kick the bucket their belongings can be handled accordingly. For most of us though we don't plan on dying soon so the thought rarely crosses the mind.
Then again, as the saying goes: "Shit happens"
Anyways, what'll happen to your anime collection when you die, or more specifically what would you want to happen to your anime stuff after you die?
Give it to family or friends? Have it buried with you? Burn it? Donate it?
Time capsule all of it before you pass so that sometime in the near future someone finds it and is able to enjoy the splendors of all the anime you collected in your life time?
About 95% of my stuff is DVDs, magazines, and a few manga. I'm not sure myself what's going to happen to it in the end- assuming life treats me to a ripe old age. I'll probably have it passed on to my grandkids or something...then again that's assuming DVD players aren't obsolete.
Grammar tweak EDIT: Title is supposed to be What not What's.

I'd put it all in a chest or time capsule as the guy above suggested and bury it. then whoever just so happens to come along and thinks "ooh, maybe i should start digging at this particular spot for shitz and giggles" and happens to find my buried anime collection would be the new owner.
In my will, I'd like to keep it all in my room for as long as possible, and if my family had to move after I died then take lots of pictures of my room before moving it into some kind of container. After that, keep it in a safe place and have it passed down through generations ^_^
Actually if you think about it, I am pretty sure that when we are ready to move on, the DVDs that we currently own will pretty much be obsolete. I mean that was what happened to my anime video tape collection and VCD collection. So I will not be surprised that the DVD will also probably become obsolete in my lifetime - again (yeah I planned to live to an old ripe age :)
It will not be too long before we will probably have to upgrade our anime collection to blu-ray/HD-DVD and I expect we will have to do it once or twice in our lifetime.
As for my videotape and VCD collection, I still have them somewhere but the videotapes are obsolete. The VCD are still running fine on DVD/computer but I hardly bother with them anymore. So I will just probably chuck it out one day.

I still think it's worth keeping the DVD's, even if you can't watch it, at least it'll be a form of memento. Besides, even today we still have VCR's, though not many of us still use it, it's not impossible to watch DVDs in the future. I have a feeling that some kind of new technology will be available in the future that can play any sort of media, from the oldest ones to the newest ones. Some of the best movies were only available before DVDs were out, after all.
Hmm, good question. The DVDs and manga could probably be split up between my mates in the local area. Plus with some luck a few fisticuffs might break out that I can enjoy from the netherworld. Figurines and models would probably go to some other friends a bit further afield since no-one in the local area is really interested in that sort of stuff.
The ARIA gear you can bury me with :P

I would ask them to bury them with me because all that money and time collecting them all, why give them to other people. I know it sounds a bit rude and self-righteous but it is yours and yours alone, burying them with you would be dedication to Anime!!. Unless some begged to have at least one of my anime collection...... I would give.

LOL, what a "strange" question!
I don't think about it cos everything can be happened in the future.
But I would like put my collection in my chest too.

I haven't thought of that yet, but now that you asked it maybe I will give it to someone who will really treasure it! I mean I worked hard to get all those, but no one in my family is a big fan of animes I think they will just let it rot.. lol!

I don't have many DVDs as most of my stuff is just on hard drives. I'd probably just use the drives for batting practice or something nutty like that. 
I would do what Longbow had said, pass it down from generation to generation ^_^. That way I could share my favourite thing with future relatives and keep anime going in my family ^_^. I would probably pass it down to my daughter (hopes she has a daughter ^_^) and from her to her daughter, that way it could be sort of a mother/daughter thing, which would make it even more special ^_^.
I have no idea... It's a bit crazy when I think about it. I think my little brother will take them with him because we share the hobbies of anime and games. And to think of it, I'm quite worry if I die I can't read or play them any more. May GOD will help me...
After all. It's crazy to think about it.
