Anime-Beta TNG

TRY THIS AT YOUR OWN RISK :) I have had 100% success with the artificial equivalent to the open window method. I start with a cutting board inside a soft T-Shirt. I put it on the bathroom floor, flatten out the T-shirt and put the cel on top with the paper up. Then I use a cold mister. I turn it on,...

Just a quick note to say thank you for the Yu Yu Hakusho cels and douga! They were really well packed, came fast and your communication was fantastic. Perfect for any Anime Dad's Father's Day present! (Yep... The fam asked what I wanted, and I said "wellllll... you know.... I've had my eye on a...

Email sent. Is your collection still up for sale? Thanks!

Glad to see the board up again! I was seriously missing looking around to get ideas on new shows to watch and cels to buy :-) I'm sure you know this, but there are some issues with pull-downs like under the "Quick Links" where the pull-down appears anytime I click anything on the page. It ...

I should have updated a long time ago to say that we got a fantastic Kuwabara and a Jin cel from Linda/Animejewell. She was wonderful to deal with. My daughter about lost her mind on Christmas when she opened them

Now, we're looking for a really good Yusuke to match!

For anyone who has not dealt with animejewell before, she is an absolute joy and your cels will come quickly and well packed. Highly recommended.

Thank you, again for the Yu Yu Hakusho cels. My daughter loved them

*wavey* Hey there! I really enjoyed selling some of my old classics to you. I hope they reach you safely! Your enthusiasm for the hobby and starting collecting really made me smile! They came yesterday!!!! It's official. This new kid (Dad) on the block has made his first purchase from a fellow site...

Sensei and Cuttiebunny -- Great info. Thanks. I need to learn more about deputy services. Other than hitting Google, are there any tips you can give? Or, is it pretty self explanatory?

Super noobie question here on the same topic. Since Mandarake does not go through a deputy, how are their shipping prices? I couldn't find any mention of actual numbers on their website so I'm curious as to what I would be getting into for a cel or two. (There are a couple of really cheap (so far) c...

Welcome to the board. I know the seller whose picture you posted. He definitely won't give you any deals, but he does get a lot of sketch artwork from various mangaka and character designers. If collecting those original sketches interests you, you might be doing a lot more business with him in the...

I'll pass that on to her. Thanks. BTW, I checked out your rubberslug gallery and your Ayashi No Ceres cels are wonderful. I haven't watched that one yet, but with art like that (especially the Touya cel), I am definitely going to check it out. BTW, I have a friend who lived in Japan 20 years ago or ...

Hi! My daughter and her friends are over-the-top in love with "Yu Yu Hakusho". I'm hoping to find a good Kuwabara cel for her (there are a couple on Ebay right now, but they aren't quite what we are looking for). It seems like he's kind of the forgotten character from that show for some re...

Sensei -- "My Little Pony"? Yay! That's been a staple in our house for years. Both of my daughters (17 and 19) still break out the DVDs on occasion and we still have an obscene number of actual ponies (we bought whole collections of used ponies on Ebay back in the day for dirt cheap). I ca...

Thank you, oxypetalus. I have only found cel dealers at Anime Expo and Comic-Con. We generally go to smaller cons where pretty much everyone dresses up, but I've never seen a dealer at one. Here's a photo of the dealer and my first cel from Anime Expo. I was SO excited :-) I wish I had taken a pictu...

I've been poking around on anime-beta for a while and thought it would be fun to introduce myself and just say hi and a big thank you for keeping the site up and running. I watched some animes when I was a kid like Gigantor, Kimba and Speed Racer and literally got my hands into animation doing clay-...
