Long time since an update

[rallihir]

It's been a while since I posted an update, but while traveling in Japan this summer (and unfortunately missing Anime Expo), I came across some very unusual CCS illustrations sketches. The complete set was around 30 sketches, but here are a couple of my favorites. I also had the opportunity to pick up a couple unidentified hanken at the Nakano Mandarake. If anyone has any idea what anime these are from, I'd appreciate any information that anyone would have.

CCS Illustrations: I believe that several of these were used for sketches for CCS goods and possibly for magazine images.

One of a set of five images for Sakura, Tomoyo, Touya, and Yukito

I also managed to pick up some hanken from an unknown anime. The style of the art suggests mid 1990's. Anyone know what anime or game these are from?

Lastly, here is a cel from Panda Ko Panda. I'd wanted a cel from this anime I saw some Panda cels come up in a 2003 Mandarake Zenbu. You just never know when one might come up.

Sent you feedback already, but ditto the Panda Ko Panda congrats. That's a major acquisition. The mystery hankens are also very handsome, whatever series/game they go with.
