For a long time one of my favorite cels was the
top one in the image attached: Sakura using The
Sword in the episode in which she visits Tomoyo
at her house and captures Shield. I noticed that
the colors in the broadcast version were
different, but I figured that this was due to the
way in which the cel was lit when it was
photographed.
Then the cel below came up for auction on YHJ.
The colors in that one match the broadcast
version. And it is labeled A34, while the top
one in "normal" color is labeled A3. But
otherwise both seem to be genuine studio products.
(I put both up in my RS gallery, and you can
click the link above for more detail.)
I'm guessing the top one was a test cel. But
does anyone have any further insight about why
these two identical but different-colored cels
should exist? |
