Oh! Was that you? With the red hair? I didn't
know O_o you were at a lot of the same stuff I
was, including the Abe panel (were you able to
get your signature? I was SOO upset when I didn't
*grumble*) It was cool that Abe liked your
costume so much.
I actually thought the cel selection was very
good, but I have pretty much gotten out of
collecting the "more popular" series which were,
indeed, scarce. Casey & I were still able to find
excellent cels from new & eclectic series (like
Hamlen and Shamanic Princess).
If you are a fan of more the latest anime crazes,
like Tenshi ni Narumon, Vampire Hunter D Movie,
Ayashi no Ceres, Inu Yasha, Outlaw Star, the Big
O, etc., there was actually a very large (yet
slightly expensive) range of choices.
I know people who wanted older-but-popular series
like Slayers, Dragonball Z, and such were
disappointed.
It was interesting to me that Escaflowne and
Sailor Moon didn't seem to be doing well at all.
Have people stopped liking these series?
I was lucky to get a nice cel of Heero, but only
because I bought it privately from a dealer's
personal collection. There wasn't much for Gundam
Wing ;_; ! I did sell two Dragonball Z (Trunks)
cels at the convention, but I only saw one for
sale myself (and it was only so-so). So I guess
it's getting to the point where I may need to let
go of collecting some of these older-but-popular
series because they are now extremely hard to
find and extremely expensive when you find
them... That way I will save myself
disappointment and move on to a more available
series.
