I was just curious if anyone else on DD collected cels or genga or sketches used in animation.
Ive amassed an impressive collection myself of mostly anime cels and any sketches included.

Here is my latest acquisition: Ifurita from El Hazard OVA 1


I know a lot of tips to buying on Yahoo Japan if anyone is interested. Also, I'd love to see your collections ! If you dont have an online gallery of your cels you can make one at rubberslug.com a free cel gallery community.

Ifurita really looks evil there. :shock:

I actually made my own cells. They're really fun to do, but it's hard making it look professional as those. I should do more.

Hm. Probably the closest I ever came was, ages and ages ago (when everyone used AOL or Compuserve and a 14.4 modem was standard) I ran a big website for a passably good cartoon show... mostly because no one else had one, and I could. :) Anyway, it turned out that one of the writers of the show also used AOL and we ended up having some e-mails. Eventually he mailed me photocopies of the artist's production notes books (the official sketches, etc) for the show. 300 pages or so, I think... a pretty huge stack anyway.

And then I spent ages scanning all of them and posting them to the website. T_T Ah, wasted youth.

Here's another favorite piece from my cel collection:

Oversized A1 Key cel of Giant Robo signed by acclaimed mecha designer Makoto Kobayashi (supposedly, but even if not, its still an awesome cel)

I love GR!
In fact, I have over 100 cels and sketches from the series ^_^
Many can be seen in my gallery ---> zenki.rubberslug.com

Here's another one of my favorites. An A1 KEY END cel of Dakki from Houshin Engi (for some reason that called Soul Hunters here in the US). Whats special about that is that its the only one from the sequence. The first and last ^o^.
Cost me about $650 at a Japanese auction site..



Way worth it to me as a collector.
Background is unmatching though.
Just something to bring out the cel more.

Here are some of my favorites from Saber Marionette J!

The first two were purchased in auctions on Yahoo Japan.
The last I found at an online cel shop in Japan that ships overseas.
All backgrounds are unmatching... Just used to bring out the cel.

I just have one cel. I really like it, and if I had more money or less hobbies, I would definitely look to add to my collection.

It's from Detective Conan. Production cel and matching background, plus associated sketches.

Sorry to revive an old post, but I got two new cels with matching backgrounds and sketches, and I'm excited about them (or one of them especially). They are from Detective Conan.

They were a lot of two cels. This one is the "extra cel" that I wasn't especially interested in, but it is nice and has the background. Now I'm going to go nuts until I pinpoint the episode she is from. She looks very familiar. I think she was a murderer (several looked like her).


This is the one I really wanted. It is from the episode that introduced Ai Haibara. (Whom I wasn't crazy about at first, but she grew on me, and is one of my favorites now.)
