Good question...LOL
Well I started because I want to buy & sell
anime. But I soon discovered I did NOT
want to sell most of my cels *sigh* So before I
knew what hit me I had a rather large
collection of Cels.
What draws you to it?
The beauty and emotion!! I look at most of my
cels & can recall the episode and
all the emotions come flooding back.
Good Luck on your speech :)
