Cool cel. Only watched three Slayers eps ever, however,
one of which had this guy. :P I think characters whose eyes
are almost always closed also fall out of the scheme; so
yours, by the 'traditional' sense, would be close to A except
that it isn't completely centered. Chichiri in Fushigi is
another character who doesn't follow the norm, I guess; but
a 'standard' grade A cel of Chichiri would still cost a bundle.
Same with Fujisawa in El Hazard; once you get an eyes-open
cel of them, along with the usual A-level criteria, forget
being able for afford it (for me, anyway).
(Remember! Even the ABC scheme is still subjective when we
take into account rarity and special cels. And yes, blah blah
blah it does matter more for you to like it when you buy it,
not as an "investment." That wasn't the POINT of this thread,
by the way, for those of you who disregard this completely.
