I think the male cel collectors are out there,
they just approach collecting a bit differently.
The ladies get *extremely* excited and over a cel
that depicts a character with "great eyes"
or "cute expression" (which I do too BTW). But
how many male galleries use those kind of
descriptors, even with female picks? I think, in
general, the ladies collect more for emotional
rather than technical reasons. And it doesn't
surprise me that the bishounen get snatched up
faster than any other type of cel. Women,
especially young women, are impulse shoppers,
which make them an extremely lucrative
demographic. Impulse buying is usually attributed
to emotion. Not that the guys don't get just as
excited about getting their hands on a great cel,
it's just that the ladies want everyone else to
know it too. ~_^ |
