I always wonder if there is a real "stigma" 
applied to hand-painted reproduction cels vs. 
production cels...Maybe people here would 
frown about the comparison.  But, I am just 
curious.

 Personally,I like all kinds of cels; repro., 
production, game, hanken, fan, and even  print 
cels if they are atrractive to me so much that I 
can`t take my eyes off of them and I feel that 
there value to me is justified. 

 But, I admit, I have mixed feelings 
sometimes.. .Some of the hand -painted and/
or silk-screened style of reproductions that I 
have seen "look" great and they are from the 
original studio that produced the anime and 
come in limited cel quantities. But, I still really 
think twice before I purchase one. (I haven`t 
been disappointed yet)

 I own a few and I am quite satisifed. Has 
anyone else here collected any studio 
repros.? What do  you think about yours?

Albeit, they are not a part of the actual movie 
batch of cels used in footage. I still see that 
production cels that were not used in the final 
cut for editing reasons, still out-perform  the 
limited edition cels hands down. It is very 
interesting to me. 

Anyone dislike reproduction cels? Game 
cels? and such?

What is your perspective?

Do you think if a studio (same artists) made 
limited editions within a sequence of a major 
scene, do you think that it would make any 
difference? Or if the limited editions were like 
10 or 20? Or is there just "no soul" in 
collecting reproductions. Do you see repro 
and think "fake" cel ?

Just curious ^-^
