Thanks for the head's up, but at this time I'm looking for the cel or sequence mate of the cel above specifically.

Couple new cels that I thought I'd show off, but mostly I have a question about cleaning one that I hope someone can answer. May make a separate thread for it later if needed. But first, the new cels: Unico: Another successful trip to Nakano Broadway in Tokyo got me this Unico cel of the Baron for a...

I figured I'd join the the cool kids and start a thread with my new cel acquisitions that I can update whenever I get new cels. There have been a couple of Ranma 1/2 cels on YahooJapan lately that have really helped me polish up my Nabiki collection, so I wanted to show those off. Great cel of Nabik...

I started collecting in either 1999 or 2000. I was either fresh out of high school or in my first year of college. Money was tight and if I wanted a cel it meant dollar store dinners for a month, credit card debt or worse. But cels were pretty easy to come by back then. Every convention had a dealer...

Hi all! I recently acquired this Escaflowne cel but as you can see it's missing the Hitomi layer. I'd really love to find the Hitomi layer if anyone has it and is looking to sell it, or even if you have it and are willing to just provide a high quality scan of it so I could digitally pair it with my...

Cool thanks Sensei! That makes a lot of sense. Added security with added price tag. It seems to be worth it considering Authenticity is the point of cel collecting IMO. I'm new to collecting so i don't want someone to pull a quick one on me :D On average I trust Manadarake more than the average YJ ...

If I had to try and pick...(which is very difficult!!) My human Inuyasha pan cel. It's a big, beautiful cel of him in his human form *drools lol* And Inuyasha VS Bankotsu. The only cels of Bankotsu come from this opening, so I'm very lucky to have one! For some reason neither of these link for me, ...

Some nice Ranma cel lots just appeared on YJ. I really want the Ryouga cel from this one but not any of the other cels. Considering the current price tag I'm guessing some Japanese bidders will take it higher than I want to go, but I thought it might be worth it to post here in the unlikely event so...

That's a great idea, I'll vote for a "sexy" category. Although it might end up being male character competing with a female for top place, how can you define which gender is more sexy? or to be specific, what would be the criteria in judging? Maybe you'd have to have Best Male and Best Fe...

Sometimes I remember it or wrote it down somewhere, but generally I don't remember when or where I got my cels. I wish I did. I don't know about something as in depth as what you have, but there are definitely somewhere I don't even remember how they got into my collection and I wish I did.

Are the categories set or are we able to make some suggestions? If so I'd love to see a "swim suit contest" or "sexy" category. Not sexual/hentai, but just slinky dresses, fine tuxedos, swim suits, whatever. That fancy outfit from that special episode or OVA, etc. I think a "...

Lastly, I have not been very active regarding cel/sketch hunting/acquiring in 2015, so I have a lot of pent up cel buying energy. With that in mind, if I visit Nakano Broadway(Mandarake/ Commit/ AWS) and want to look through all the artwork they have,(and I mean every single piece) how long would t...

Wow what an interesting and indepth look at two cels. It really makes you appreciate how nice the CCS artwork is, too! I wanted to throw out a potential alternate idea, though it's probably not accurate. But I have a cel that is monochrome and which doesn't match the full-color on screen cel (see he...

That makes sense, except for the fact that it's not a two-layer cel. If the body was one layer and the head was a second layer like in the douga I'd understand completely. But it's a single layer cel so I guess that's why I'm confused. Maybe they redrew the bodylayer each time with the body douga an...

What a fun thread idea. Mine is actually a newer purchase since I started collecting cels again after about 10 years of not collecting. It's this amazing pan cel of Van and Hitomi from the very start of the second episode of Escaflowne. It's one of those cels they used to print in artbooks and mooks...
