Anime-Beta TNG

I can offer my perspective as a collector of vintage films, some of which have sadly succumbed to the dreaded vinegar syndrome. First off, as others have said, you will have no doubt when you smell this very pungent vinegar scent. Once it has started, it cannot be stopped. It does not necessarily me...

Priss-Chan –

Awful that you witnessed that terrible day. Few of us (thankfully) have experiences that compare, especially from such a young age.

I’ve learned that one never “get’s overâ€

Wow -- this must be one heckuva BWA. That website has imploded at least twice in the last 24 hours...

Never a good story, Nene. Sorry to hear it. I also considered bidding on that cel, but did not. I just checked the guy's feedback, and there's lots of stormy clouds.

Krafty wrote:The most impressive was the Robot Carnival set, paintings by Takashi Nakamura, Yasuomi Umetsu, [possibly] Katsuhiro Otomo and a few hanken to boot! I've never seen anything like that for auction in my life!

No question, that is an amazing collection... can't wait to see what price it commands.

For those who are historically or academically inclined, here' s an interesting read about some of the earliest anime ever produced... http://www.star-ecentral.com/news/story.asp?file=/2008/4/6/movies/20822229 I kept thinking about the "Steamboat Itchy" episode of THE SIMPSONS while I was ...

Okay, this is old news for some, but it’s new to me. Last year, I stumbled upon the anime series ROZEN MAIDEN… which for those who don’t know, is basically about a collection of Victorian era dolls that come to life and make a teenage boy’s life a living hell. I was stunned at how taken I became wit...

What I miss about the new TFC2 medic is that I can't "infect" people with plague. That was my favorite part of the original game: would drive the other team nuts!

I think the eight days the Rockies have been off will actually hurt them, not help. They were red hot, and then... sit around and wait. The Red Sox are in a groove, finally finding some much needed production from batters other than Manny and Ortiz. Josh Beckett is just sick, as is Papelbon. But col...

I’m not real worried, because whether you got your badge in the mail or not you STILL have to go stand in line to get your badge- holder . On the other hand, printing every badge for every attendee on-the-spot will certainly slow the process considerably. This is perhaps what they were hoping to avo...

I think those are all great pointers, darksuzaku. On the other hand, for me it basically always comes down to one issue: how much am I willing to pay? So my strategy has always been to bid the max amount I feel the cel is worth… anything higher and it’s overpriced. That way I’m always in a positive ...

Game on!!!

That’s the funny thing about art: value is determined by desire. I’m not familiar with the auctions in question, but if the price closed at $1000 there was probably at least one other person in the world who wanted them as bad as the Celga winner… both bidders are responsible for driving the price t...

Is Cloud trying to start a flame war???

If L.A. traffic is decent?!

You'll be lucky to make the show at all, Elfstalker!!!
