Given Gainax's history of releasing cels to the
public (Not often, if ever), I'd say that isn't
likely to change in the future. In the olden
days, before cel collecting was popular, cels
were considered toxic waste. You couldn't burn
them, you couldn't sell them, so they were
expensive to deal with (Which is how Animeigo got
it's collection, one disposal company literally
dumped hundreds if not more miyazaki and other
cels in their front lawn). I think more and more
cels will continue to filter out, as staff leave,
and join, or the cost of booze goes up. I'd much
rather see more KareKano cels, myself :) |
