Now I'm sorry I played all six of my DVDs. Maybe I could have gotten a tenth of that on eBay if I'd left it unviolated?

This one's kind of interesting because it mainly just shows Shiori's hand, arm and the book she's holding:

Not sure what the book title is, but the cel is a non-character cel for sure.

Now we just need some sketches of Zettai Ryouiki and we would be all set.

Heh. I wouldn't mind getting that just to reanimate the dougas. That would make one tough signature or avatar!
In truth, I actually bought a cut that had a series of sketches in it that were pretty similar:
That's Kotomi, the seemingly witless dea ex machina who keeps pulling the centripedal plot of Asatte no Houkou together. But I actually got this cut for the very funny sketches of Shoko, her companion on the walk, who keeps alternating between "Huh whaaat?" and "I suspect her brainlessness is just an extremely clever disguise."
Still, I bet the dougas will look tough if I reanimate them.

Yeah, that's the whole image, from the registration holes to the bottom of the sheet. Of course everyone would be looking to the right where Shoko is listening to her ramble on about magical wishing stones and legends she's heard and thinking "How much does she actually know about me and Karada (the girl she switched ages with), anyhow?"Keropi wrote:So you only can see her torso eh?
She knows everything. She's like God. |

Honey I shrunk my magical helper!
But would Kero really be happy in his proper place behind the B layer where he belongs? Better to rule as a chibi than be mostly invisible behind Sakura.

This is a "Ring Around the Collar" sketch:

Why does he have a ring around his neck?

Maybe not wacky, but unique?......I have never seen a background/sketch shaped like this. Maybe some of you guys that have been in the collecting realm for a while have seen something like this before.

I have a layout that looks like this:
http://sensei.rubberslug.com/gallery/in ... emID=68769
(Don't tell a soul, but the secret password is "seemorestuff")
However, the background itself is rectangular. That seems normal, even if the corners outside the pan path are executed in less detail (as with the upper left corner of this huge item, which was panned from bottom left to top right).
http://sensei.rubberslug.com/gallery/in ... mID=243965
What I find interesting about the lot you call out is that (as the OCN translation explains), it's an original master setup from Lupin III: The Castle of Cagliostro, an early work by Hayao Miyazaki, from just before he started Studio Ghibli. So the question is whether the layout is Miyazaki's work.
The exhibitor apparently says that he cannot confirm that the layout is a Miyazaki autograph sketch, but it just might be. He also affirms that (OCN machine translation) "The preservation situation is quite clean" and "It was kept beautifully, so they're beautiful items."
But the digital photo of the layout (which is likely the part of the lot that would justify the 100,000 yen starting price) shows extensive and ugly celotape burns across the entire face of the artwork. And the photo of the whole setup suggests that the cels have experienced heavy oxidation, making the whole image cloudy.
Miyazaki or no, I think I'll pass.
