What kind of fan am I?? I'm a hotohori fan. ^_^ I 
loved many of the characters in the show, 
including Nakago, Nuriko and Tasuki.. but I doubt 
I'll ever get cels other than Hotohori. Mainly 
because of the cost. With Nuriko cels, there is 
just far too much competition. 

Everyone likes different characters for different 
reasons, so wondering why "everyone loves nuriko" 
isn't going to solve much. Everyone who "loves" 
nuriko will love him for different reasons. Not 
just what happened in episode 33. It's tragic, 
yes, but lets not forget what happened to 
Hotohori too ^_~, and chiriko.. and mitsukake... 
nakago.. tomo.. ashitare...

Different people like different characters enough 
to pay hugenormous amounts for them. I am one of 
them. I am sure you like a character in some show 
SO much that you would pay almost anything to 
have him or her. 

Also, FY has been around for almost 10 years now. 
Cels are scarce so prices are high. I am more 
understanding when a price skyrockets on ebay or 
something, but not when a dealer charges that 
much. That's my opinion though.
