For whoever is interested...
The auction section has about 90 cels. These
include 3 to 5 each from: Nausica, Tonari no
Totoro, Kiki's, Laputa, Vampire Princess Miyu,
CCS, Cowboy Beebop, Escaflowne, Rouroni Kenshin
(TV and OVA), UY, Akira, Stardust Memories, and a
bunch of others I can't ID. Half or more half
backgrounds.
Most of these cels range from very impressive to
stunning. Quite a few hanken cels, but starting
bids are commensurate with the quality and are
not cheap. Stunning cels from Ghibli, Nausica in
particular, but these range from $1000 to $6000.
There are about 200 cels that in a enter ticket
section (like a silent auction?). These are more
like the typical A cels we see, still very good
but many are from old series (e.g. 20 years back)
so I recognize far fewer.
The ones I do recognize include some
miscellaneous Ghibli, dozen Nausica
reference/model cels of characters in different
postures (very nice), several UY, couple CCS, few
Kimba, an Atom, dozen To Heart, five DBZ, some
Rouroni Kenshin, and half dozen Sailor Moons.
Also half dozen of "anime with skinny tall blond
girl on locomotive traveling in space whose title
escapes me" and 16 hippo cels, most with end
credits on top ("Maamin" if I read the kana
correctly).
Apologies to mech and spacecraft fans. There are
at least several dozen of these, but I don't
watch these much so I can't ID them.
What's worth mentioning is what I don't see. Only
1-2 cels ea from AMG OVA, Utena, Tenchi Muyo.
None from Fushigi Yugi or AMG Movie.
Lots of sketches, drawings, and paintings -
probably more than cels. The artwork ranges from
very good sketches to full color drawings and
paintings. Of course, there are even more comics
than everything else combined - much of them of a
more prurient nature.
Die hard anime fans who have seen the catalog
will probably pelt me with UV-exposed acetate for
inaccuracies, but keep in mind how much you paid
for this information. :)
Hope you found it useful!
Regards,
Chi
