"there are a whole bunch of series yet not a lot
of cels..what happen to them..."
Dunno if you meant just the Street Fighter
variations, or cels in general, but in general,
there are lots of reasons you might not see cels
from a given anime:
-The cels might not have ever been officially
released to the public (Eva)
-There might not be cels at all (anything Toei's
done recently, like the Mahou Tsukai Tai TV
series, Kaito Jeanne, or the new Sol Bianca OAV)
-The cels might have been in limited release, but
the show was popular enough in Japan that
collectors there snagged them before the cels
could make it overseas (think any OP or ED
sequence)
For Street Fighter, I don't know exactly, but I'm
guessing the show's cels weren't released--very
frequently video game tie-in stuff can't be
released because of wacky merchandising agreements
or whatever (like why Sakura Wars cels are so hard
to come by). |
