You missed your own point about copyright and
printer...
However,
I know lots of collectors who dislike fancels.
They are perfectly entitled to their opinion
Some collectors who'd spit on a cel without its
matching douga/genga/Sketch or was not a key cel.
Because face it - if your going to be elitist -
Unless a cel has been done by the key animator -
its probably been filled in my some smelly
learning in betweener and painted out by some
subcontracted studio in Korea/China and if China
probably by in some prison camp
(Prisoner 2516, you have not met your quota of
painted cels today - you get no food).
But seriously do you THINK about these things?
Do you ensure or try to buy only cels numbered
(1) or (End)? I know I'm not that picky.
Yep those madhouse test cels never saw the light
of book/video etc. They were based off drawings
not by Key animators but original drawings off
the Character Designer - Yuki. So not some mangy
other person. They were probably painted in-
house to test for colour ie by Studio Staff. So
whilst not production art in the purest sense I
am happy to have them as they are probably closer
to Yuki's original thoughts.
Would you prefer a cel from Mononoke or a hand
sketch from Miyazaki?
Perhaps you and I would ascribe different values
to such items but take care when you stand on a
elitist soapbox
