This sounds like the kind of homework i would 
*want* to do ^_~

Answers:
1) U.S.A. (MI)
2)Anime
3) Production cels
4) Hotohori from FY (when I can afford it), a lot 
of NW, and lots of miscellaneous.
5) Overall, I really like cels that can be easily 
found in a show when I watch it. Something 
recognizable right away. I know i've accomplished 
this if I can a) ID the episode immediatly and b) 
if I get reactions like "Oh! I remember *that* 
part"... 
6) Most are from collectors sales or collectors 
selling on ebay. The rest are from dealers.
7)Too much ^^; When I do buy cels in a month, 
it's usually $200 worth.
8)Since June of 2001
9)Most costly cel: Fushigi Yuugi - Hotohori - 
$1200
10) That it's *art*. A lost art form in fact. I 
think it's a great feeling to hold the cel in my 
hands, and see it on the screen at the same time.
And with a certain character I have in my 
collection, cels are the closest thing I can get 
to "having" the character ^_~;;
