Thanks! Kikyo is one of my favourite InuYasha characters, so i'd been looking for a nice cel of her for some time. I was outbid once before on Yahoo Japan, but managed to get this one for a very reasonable price during the BWA. I normally think of BWA items as having inflated prices, but there are some good bargains to be had nonetheless.
My collecting focus is mostly on Nadesico, CCS, MKR and Tenchi Muyo, so i probably won't purchase InuYasha cels all that often, but i'm definitely checking out the YJ listings regularly just in case.

Thank you! Ruri is
THE major money-drain of my collection, but as a result i've picked up some really good cels of the character. This one was the second most expensive cel i've purchased thusfar, but considering the popularity of neko-Ruri cels i count myself lucky to have been able to get it at all, without opposition even. I'm hoping to eventually find a close-up shot of Ruri in cat costume, preferably from the scene where she's eating a bowl of ramen. I can only imagine what that would cost me...*shudders*.

Yeah, the splendid Carnelian character designs are also one of the things that got me interested in the series. Have you seen the Touka Gettan anime yet, BTW? It's by the same people who made Yamibou and it has a similar blend of comedy and weirdness. I definitely recommend it to anyone who enjoyed Yamibou.

Thanks! Plastic Little is a pretty average OVA in terms of story, but the animation and character designs are just gorgeous, which makes it a great anime to collect cels of. I really love the facial expression in this one especially.
There was another really good Tita cel up on YJ a few days before this one, which i was outbid on. I'm still kicking myself for not putting a higher bid on it.
