These aren't fan cels created from screen caps.
They were created from the original sketches
which is why the lines are perfect, matching even
the areas outside of what is shown in screen caps
from the OVA.
The vast majority of the AMG OVA "repro" cels
were released by AIC at a con quite a few years
back at low prices. Reliable sources tell me that
many were created by cel painters who were
interviewing for jobs at the time, although cel
rejects were probably included too.
That's why the lines are always perfect, but the
painting is not. If most were interview cels, it
would also explain why the same cel tends to be
copied so many times. Where I find one repro, I
often find multiple ones.
Although some of the cels that were distributed
at the con were probably rejects during
production, AIC would not be in business long if
they had to paint most of their cels several
times to yield one production one.
