Cels Forum

Hello,
I just came back from Tokyo... While I was there I
went to the AIC exhibit which was ending the 31th
August.

It was much smaller than what I expected : a single
room where they were displaying the hanken cels
currently on auction or on lottery. They were also
displaying a couple of goods and books related to
their anime but not much. (I was expecting to see
more of their cels even if they weren't for sale).

It was very, very warm and damp and full of people
(not that many but enough to fill the room :) sitting
there, doing nothing. Probably waiting the end of
the auctions to place a final bid.

As for the hanken themselve, there was some very very
nice. When I was there, the Belldandy one was already
at 450K yen and I heard that it ended-up at more than
800K yen -shiver-. Amazingly enough, there wasn't any
bid yet on the Armitage one (for those who saw it on
their website). Dunno at how much it ended.
An Aeka was at 300K and probably ended-up higher...

There was also 3 differant litho from Lodoss War,
signed by Yutaka Izubuchi, for sale at around 45K.
One was from Ashram and the other 2 from Deedlith.
The 3 of them from the Anam artbook. (cover, p 14
and p 81).

Cheers,
Yann Stettler
