It depends on what series you are looking for. If you are looking for Vampire Knight, you should go here:

http://animecellar.cside.to/Rilezu/index.htm

They have more series as well, but other series are available from other dealers. Well known rilezu sites include:

http://www.madokajapan.com

http://www.anime-world-star.net/rilezu/index_main.htm

http://www.officefao.com

http://p-pro.web.infoseek.co.jp/shop/index.html

http://www.rakuten.co.jp/aicshop/index.html

Some will let you order directly, others require an intermediary. There is often a race for certain scenes, so check them often if you are looking for something specific.

Happy Hunting!

I got excited to see Vampire Knight coming out soon, but then realized...oh yeah....it's cellar/f&o.

Odds are the quality won't be that great.

Stephen @ www.animemuseum.biz is where I've gotten some Rilezu cels before. But for a while when I logged on, his Rilezu link has been shut down. If you're up for it, you could email him - I'm sure he'll help you out.

I'd stay away from that site if I were you. Long story short, bought a cel, 2 weeks to get invoice, 45 days to send item after payment, got wrong item, been trying to get the right cel for 3 months now, I last heard from Stephen 30 days ago and hasnt replied to any of my emails since. And through 3 months of correspondence, I havent gotten any solution to my problem except "Sorry, I will fix it".

I'm sorry to hear this. I've received excellent service from Stephen in the past, as recently as this Spring when I purchased several fine cels from the auction service he runs, Anicyo. I wonder if the problem isn't one of his consignees, one of whom I know is prone to misplacing the dougas that go with the cels s/he sells and including them with shipments to other collectors.

I hope this is a temporary issue for him. I do know that his wife has had serious health problems.

Sorry to hear about that. I didn't know that people were having problems with him. Of course, it's been almost a year since I've dealt with him but the few times that I have, he's been on top of things. Shoot, I hope you get cel situation worked out.

I just want to echo sensei and say that I'm sure Stephen will come through for you. It has been a few months since I've had a transaction with Stephen but he is always come through for me. I'm sure he will for you beatrush.

Yeah, I've never had any problems with Stephen, either.

Back on topic, there's a site that seems to keep pretty good tabs on which company is doing which series:

People pages is an odd place for this, so I think I will
move it to where it is more appropriate.

Well I think Vampire Knight is office FAO... then they are around $300-$500 depending on how big the cel is!

I don't think they come with real sketches though...

I'm guessing it'll probably be a post production composite sketch.

They'll update with episodes/OP/ED and prices and pictures when they are ready to make them!

How does the Bonus Genga for SM work?

Do you just pick which Genga you want free with each Relizu you order?

I wonder how the images of the Higurashi Rilezu look?

How disturbing did they look?

Just wondering.
