I would have to agree with a lot of what Yann
said.
Usually a hanken cel is bigger than the average
cel. And with hanken most of the image is
painted...The wouldn't be leaving the top of his
head unfinished, and maybe even the right side of
his body. If there's registration holes that may
be another sign of it not being a hanken cel.
BUT...On the other end of that comment...there
are cels that are used in the actual production
of a series, and then used for other products,
like video jackets, poster, art books, etc.
Saiyuki wasn't done with cels...It was all
CG...So it there's registration holes on the top
I'd be a little weary unless you get it's
authenticity verified.
The best thing to do is e-mail Animegame and ask
them more about the cel. Like...What is that
labeling at the top of the cel? Are there
registration holes? Where did you purchase the
cel from? Is there an authenticity certificate
with the cel? If not, how do you know it is a
hanken cel? They should be more than happy to
answer these questions for you^^'!
Hope this helps! |
