Anime-Beta TNG

My current favorite music is the ED to Higashi no Eden. The animation for it is excellent also!

Well, I've got to say a little something here in defense of sellers and dealers everywhere, though I'm not one myself. There's nothing reprehensible in the least about buying something to resell at a profit. This is what makes the world go 'round in practically all businesses. Whether it's goods or ...

Well, in addition to the excellent advice so far, here's a little different viewpoint to consider. Do what it takes to make your collection grow to your vision. If that means scrimping on other expenses, juggling credit cards, car payments, food, etc., so be it. You are a collector! There's no need ...

Besides the obvious, like which anime and scene, I look for joy. There is a great Japanese movie called A Taste of Tea in which one of the characters is an animator presenting her work to Hideaki Anno, who has a sort of cameo as an anime director. After accepting his compliments on her work, she say...

My most current favorite is the OP from Kaiba; very moving and heartfelt song! All the underscore for that series is excellent as well; imaginative and quirky, yet always in service of the show.

^ Does that movie involve a violin? If so I saw some sketches up on Yahoo Japan like a month ago.

Yes, that's the one!

I hope you find more sketches from the show, and that they don't cost much

Me too, wouldn't that be great!

Well looking through this thread I seem to be one of the few that has been willing to share my latested additions to our paper collection. Well I'm certainly willing! Sketches are my first love, and I just got some from one of my favorite Ghibli movies, Whisper of the Heart . Haven't seen very many...

What other forums besides Anime-Beta do you like to keep up with for anime and animation info? I usually check in with Animation News Network for general news and AnimeSuki for fansubs and reviews. I also enjoy Ask John at AnimeNation. But I think my favorite is AniPages Daily; lots of references th...

I think the closest thing to obsession that I have right now would be my interest in Ghost Hound. Wow this is a great show! Intriguing characters, wonderful graphic and sound design, and a subject and story that keep me coming back for more. Anyone else following this?

Well, it's obviously an important disconnect for you. I was speaking very generally, but of course there are individual differences. That was my point in starting the thread and poll, to see how each gender might respond, and listen thoughtfully to the possible reasons for those differences. It's be...

Ah yes...he addressed this himself: Yes, I've seen that. And interestingly enough, that was said before he made some of his finest masterpieces of the genre: Only Yesterday, I Can Hear the Sea, Whisper of the Heart, and Spirited Away. Thank goodness he didn't let himself be deterred by those who co...

Now as for those much smaller, niche shows…. If I see titles listed on a site that feature a lot of wide eyed, prepubescent/adolescent little girls, the conclusion I come to is a lot more specific than, is this collector male Yeah, I understand your point here, although this is probably a subject f...

I've only had my gallery for about 4 months now, so these results are not from a very large sample. I'm sure this list will change a lot over time as I gradually acquire more higher quality items. Right now, the top 50-60 items are all clustered within about 30 hits, but here's the top 5. 1. Nausica...

Maybe I can defuse my previous faux pas a little by expanding this topic a little more in a new thread. Something Keropi said got me thinking. I talked awhile with a cel collector once and thought she was a guy (I couldn't tell from the anime titles she collected). So, can you accurately guess someo...

Thanks very much to everyone who came and looked or took the time to post nice compliments both publicly and privately. I appreciate it a lot! It makes all the time spent scanning and uploading that much more worthwhile to know that there are others who enjoy the same types of artwork!
