I feel that many CG series are gorgeous right
now. Low budget shows will continue to look bad,
but higher budget shows have been looking great.
Furthermore, often good writing and execution
will easily conquer my feelings on design. :)
I can't imagine ever running out of cels I would
like, even with new series not being cel, so I'll
probably keep buying. Furthermore, CG series and
some cel-favorites have allowed me to discover
genga, which I am also happy to collect. I
suppose I should call myself a 'production art'
collector instead of a cel collector. ^_^
Some friends have mentioned that 'it's not the
same' with sketches for them. I think they plan
to continue collecting cels from older series and
sit back and enjoy not spending as much on the
new ones.
I'm still not sure about reproductions though,
but I hope repros and original fan-made cels will
keep the media alive. The materials will most
likely continue to be available, in some form,
whether directly 'for cel making' or by something
more make-shift.

Anyone want to sell me some Haibane Renmei genga? |
