Anime-Beta TNG

I think it's been long enough that old winners can go back in the running. If there's a 6 year gap in an annual series, I think the latest entry necessarily has to be a reboot/refresh rather than trying to carry on the exact form as before. If you feel strongly about checking entries for fairness, I...

My only thought is that I for one would love to go toe to toe with you cel-ebrities and show off my small hoarde in competition. You're right that there's not a whole lot of activity here, but something can be done between Facebook and maybe submitting images via Dropbox or a Google drive type situa...

Hello there, anime-beta! Some people have been offering to buy my cels lately (I've made it as a true collector!) and will stuff going out, there must always be stuff coming in... so long story short, in 2018 I bought some sketches that looked rather like roughs or prototype hanken from the 2011 Hun...

This is a fascinating topic because I'm terminally drawn only to cool, hip anime (oh god I sound like an old lady already) and I think the most obscure thing I've ever watched was Kekkaishi (obscure in the sense that it didn't ring any bells to my entire friend group) or Read or Die, which I saw aft...

I've been paring down my collection to pay for some various (mostly grad school related) expenses and, let's be honest, probably to save up for other purchases. I'll be listing other pieces, mostly still from Yu Yu Hakusho and Fullmetal Alchemist. Thanks for looking and please reach out with questio...

Welcome, Sabre. Marionette? Sabrina? I'm chronically averse to typing full usernames, so please inform me whichever you prefer. Anyway, I'm Meghan, and I fell into this hobby with my first cel purchase in February of 2017. I mainly collect Yu Yu Hakusho (if my signature doesn't make that plain) as w...

Anniversaries are exciting in any hobby, so congrats on the one year a-b milestone. Your activity keeps the forum nice and active, while (relative) newcomers like me were content to sit in the shadows and lurk.

Cheers!

I wanted to stick my head in here because I collect dreadfully boring, mainstream things (which I love and feel no shame about 8) ) so nothing in my scope could ever be considered unique to me. However, I really admire those who collect from lesser-known or under-represented shows and movies because...

I appreciate those Madoka Japan links, as I stumbled upon the YYH piece a few nights ago and have started saving money for it. The goal is to buy it as a birthday gift to myself when May rolls around, assuming it's still available. As for Kanno's involvement with YYH and FMA, he was an animator on Y...

This might not be the best place for it, so I apologize in advance. I was wondering about shikishi and pieces of original artwork and where most of you acquire them. I've seen some on Mandarake, but in many people's rubberslug galleries, they have acquired things from anime conventions through the a...

Good evening, A-B. A certain seller just caught my eye because they put up 80-something DB/Z cels and such over the course of 24 hours and many of them look like ones I've seen around before. For example, I watched a Pilaf cel they're offering go on ebay about 3 months back. In the case of YYH cels,...

Hello there. Please forgive the fact that the best image I could get at the moment is a phone picture, but I was wondering if anyone was interested in purchasing this Trunks cel of mine. Please PM or comment to let me know, and if you you have questions, feel free to ask. https://i.imgur.com/HgboXR8...

I got into cel collecting last year and I have to say, it's not much of a bummer if you intend to stick around for the long haul. Eventually, CCS prices will fall again, old collectors will start to sell off their pieces, and more art will still trickle through for auctions. While it may not have be...

I feel like I've made a lot of these posts in the past but bear with me. You guys tend to be really good at replying. My friend's birthday is coming up this summer and she loves Saint Seiya and has been taking an interest in maybe collecting on her own. I was hoping to buy her a cel of one of her fa...

Are there any ideas people can think of that they might want to see on a-b to get the blood flowing some more? I know we have the cel and genga contests, and I recognize that the hobby has shifted from "buy buy buy" to "preserve, hope, and wait", but I wonder if people would be i...
