I intended to mention these updates at the weekend when they were brand-spanking-new but I broke my RS page with some crazy page formatting results and didn't want to look like a bufoon
Some pieces that reinforce my belief in anime artwork as masterful:
New 'Teen Romance' series, MEMORIES OFF as ID'd by the illustrious Keropi. Two cuts of a pretty girl, the shuseii linework is [dare I say] 'perfect' on the second character drawing and Cowgirl Kanata looks a stunner.
A comedic setup from MEZZO FORTE. This shot makes me smile every time I see it.
GOSEKI KOJIMA COPY SHIKISHI. Drawn by a man whose style screams out traditional Japanese brush art, I have a lot of respect for him. This picture, though simple, demonstrates a sweet sentiment within the context of the violent series and it's full of character. That's why I was still happy to have it, even though it is a copy. I have another on the way...
CYBER CITY OEDO genga of 2 main characters, Benten and Sen Goku.
You can feel the energy in this artwork, something that most contemporary genga lacks and it looks very much 'of it's era' which appeals to me.
The Kawajiri theme continues into NINJA SCROLL with a cel of main-man JUBEI KIBIGAMI with a glint in his eye.
Plus a douga of the devilish, ZAKURO. Again, the line weights on this douga are spectacular, just the sort of thing to get me excited ^__^

hey james,
nice update! luv the forte cel. comic, indeed.
what can i say about kojima-san? the godfather of samurai manga IMHO. have you read samurai executioner yet? also newly released, path of the assassin is another koike/kojima classic.
kudos on the jubei as well. i await your new YJ acquistions.

OMG, Daigoro!!
You're absolutely right. Copy or not, that's just great.
All of the new stuff is just stunning. Even the funny cel -- or maybe "stunned" would be a better term I'm currently working my way through both Lone Wolf & Cub and Samurai Executioner, though, so Daigoro just leapt out at me and snagged my heartstrings. What a tuff little nut he is!
Congrats on all the great additions.

Gorgeous update! I love them all, especially the "GOSEKI KOJIMA COPY SHIKISHI."
But the Mezzo cel just cracks me up to no end. What a great scene!
I always appreciate your descriptions and attention to detail with your
updates. You shed light on your collection in such a way that allows the
audience to understand you, as well as your taste, better. It's marvelous
to know that it's not random... there's definitely a method to your madness.
Another classy and stylish update, congrats James!
