Anime-Beta TNG

I sent you an e-mail.

I'm still having fun! Yay!

We don't know who won or anything, but I will definitely participate next year (though granted, I don't think I would want to run it!).

Man, there's been a little rash of Priss OP cels taunting me lately... if only I had some money!

I've been following the news of this game pretty closeley (I'm a Melee addict) and I hadn't heard or seen anything about these three characters.

Where did you get this info?
I hope it's true!

My favorite anime music is from the Bubblegum Crisis OVAs! It's very 80s, but to me that's not a bad thing.

I also love the soundtracks from Akira and Ghost in the Shell, and the opening and ending songs from both the Lodoss OVA and the Lodoss TV series are wonderful.

Thank you! I'm very excited to enter.

This is my first Beta Awards, and I'm eager to submit entries, but I have a quick question:

Do I have to have acquired the cels this year?

For me, too, it's all about what's on the screen. This may be dorky, but whatever: When I get a cel, I like to put the anime on and find that exact frame, and then hold my cel up in front of my face at just the right distance so it fits like a puzzle peice. I get a kick out of knowing that I own a l...

I could probably see myself eventually stopping collecting. The expense got to be too much a few years back, and I sold a lot and narrowed my focus down to one primary series and a couple of other special items. The cels I collect are only getting less common, and I imagine there will be a time when...

Mine is the Genom Tower from the Bubblegum Crisis OVAs. For those not in the know, it's basically the bad guys' headquarters.

I picked it because I love the environment and cityscape of BGC so much, not to mention the villains who hang around in this particular section of Megatokyo.

Hmm, interesting topic. For me, the reasons mostly come down to pricing. Lodoss OVA: Too much money! Ghibli: Too much money! Ghost in the Shell: I have a couple of these, but Motoko is rare and costly. Ranma: Too big a can of worms to open... better to stay away. Wings of Honneamise: Tough to find g...

Here's one of Nike from Appleseed. A rare character, so the eyes didn't bother me one bit.

Thanks bunches, Irmgaard!

Irmgaard, I realize this is probably a longshot, but are there any Bubblegum Crisis OVA cels lurking around?

I was thinking over something today that I personally have very mixed feelings about. When a cel dealer updates and somebody buys a cel, some dealers leave up the cel image with a SOLD notice, and some take down the image completely. On the one hand, I like to see what cels are out there, especially...
