Anime-Beta TNG

A very summery scene. How about showing me a rainy day?

How about gardening?



Show me someone burning with the passion of a thousand suns.

If I suddenly couldn't buy any more, I'd still be happy. I love my collection, and I certainly can't complain that I don't have enough. But that would depend on whether I could force myself to not look at future sales or auctions. If I had to watch and see stuff pass by that would complement what I ...

http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/business-22061773 I've already taken advantage of the current rate to order a couple of Japanese blu-ray discs and DVDs I've had my eye on from CD Japan. :D If it keeps on this way, I hope to get more! It's a lot easier to justify buying a 5800 yen disc for $58.19 plus ship...

A spiffy little effects cel with Shiine-chan from Akazukin Chacha.

Show me someone facing a moral dilemma.

I miss the days when I was one of only a couple of people who cared about Nintama cel auctions. :roll There were 14 auctions up that just ended. That was a heck of a thing just now. I haven't done that kind of bidding in years. Managed to win 3 of the 6 I had my eye on, plus one other in place of on...

Thanks! It was pretty good.

Well, all of the Legend of Galactic Heroes endings are sad in a way, especially the third ending. I would link to it, but it's not on youtube. The third ending has a beautiful song while Julian looks through photographs of friends in happier times. Painful to watch by the end of the third season. :(...

I am apparently a masochist who likes to torture myself. Otherwise why do I subscribe to the Nintama anime official twitter feed? It's not like there's an easy way to watch the show from here in Houston. :( Anyway, just saw that on Wed March 20 they're going to show a 50 minute long 20th anniversary...

Well, I think I've pretty much confirmed the problem. The problem is LED scanners in general. I bought a brand new Mustek A3 scanner. Unboxed it, installed the driver, and scanned a problem cel. This is a cel that had originally scanned the pink perfectly with my old CCD 8.5x11 Epson on this same co...

Today I received a small package of a cel and a dozen or so genga that I had bought. The genga that I got are amazing! One in particular is gorgeous. Unfortunately, all the drawings have parts where the paper has started to turn yellow, but despite that I think this is one of the prettiest drawings ...

Is it actually wet/sticky, or just static? I find that a lot of bags seem to have a bit of static electricity buildup, probably from rubbing together in the package, and that can make it tougher to separate the bags from each other and to open the bag itself. I just pull them open and shake them out...

Yeah, I'm actually thinking I might for a short term fix buy some of those printable clear film sheets and just do a photocopy of the lines from the douga. I'll let you know how it turns out. :) It really is fascinating how the different studios age. The cels in this particular portfolio are all sho...

Out of curiosity, did you notice any vinegar smell when you pulled it out? I noticed with my Hotaru cels with accelerated line fading, they tend to also have Vinegar Syndrome. From Sensei's advice, I bought a bunch of Microchamber paper from Bags Unlimited and put one in the front of the cel bag of...

I'm still rescanning cels for my gallery. I'm making progress. Slow progress. I'm currently working on shoujo stuff. I just scanned my few Sailor Moon cels. These cels have never been framed, and lived the past 15 years in an art portfolio in the closet. But unfortunately, nothing can really prevent...
