I have a lot of genga that have cut/retaped
registration holes. I think this is where most of
the "retaping" and "fixing" occurs before
production. They probably do this because they
want to match up one genga with a previous genga
that is slightly unaligned.
I don't think it's the animator's priority to
keep cels/genga/douga/backgrounds in mint
condition as long as the final result is up to
par.
