Okay okay, you want to hear whiney fangirl 
groveling?  I gotcher goodness right here!  
Prepare youself for some primo eye-rolling 
material, as I could go on and on and ON about 
this cel!  

This cel landed in my hands due to THE most 
amazing turn of events.  I had just gotten back 
into collecting.  A friend of mine from back in 
the day contacted me with a Nuriko cel she was 
willing to part with.  She also showed me this 
one, but stated "He's not sale"  AUGH!!!!  I 
almost DIED when she showed me this cel....and I 
knew then...(best Wayne's World impression)"oh 
yes, it shall be mine..it SHALL be 
mine!"...:evil, knuckle cracking, grin:

Anyways....a short time later...I found what I 
deemed to be an equally amazing shot of this 
chara on Ebay.  I waited all night long....to get 
it.  My grandpa had just gotten out of major 
heart surgery, and was experiencing some 
frightening complications.  I was in quite the 
shaky mood and couldnt sleep...so I stayed up to 
win the cel on Ebay...drinking LOTS of orange 
soda and devouring other sugar laiden articles to 
help kill the sleepyness.  Anyways, I was the 
high bidder....and just before the cel auction 
ended, somone sniped me in the last minute and 28 
seconds!!!  ::shakes fists at Karen, hahah::  I 
was crushed....and I also got very sick due to 
the adrenaline rush and having too much sugar in 
the system.  I had to lay on the sofa while my 
boyfriend fed me grahm crackers to absorb all the 
crap in my stomach.  I had also lost _another_ 
awesome cel that same day.  It was a real 
dreamcel, I had asked the girl to hold it for me 
til after the end of the auction I was waiting 
for, but...she didnt....  

So there I was....lost out on two of the best 
cels Id ever seen.  To this day I still regret 
it.  BUT....about a week later....my friend found 
a cel she just had to have....and she presented 
me with THIS marvelous thing!  Had I won the 
auction a week beforehand...or gotten the cel the 
other girl was selling....I wouldnt have had the 
money for this cel, which I deem to be THE cel of 
all cels of this character!!  Ahh his eys, his 
hair, his cute smile!  And I love that blue 
outfit, my favorite colors of blue and green!  
Sugoi sugoi!!!  When I got it in the mail, I just 
sat on the floor in my office staring (almost 
insanley) and this gorgeous face! :turns into 
puppy and rolls on cel happily: This scene was 
soooo awesome too, one of the best regarding this 
character, as this is where Nuriko admits he has 
feelings for Miaka!  :swoooooon:  And of course 
Tamahome has a nice fit of laughter at this 
notion.....:throws heavy skillet at Tama:   Oh so 
sweeeeeeet!  

Nuriko:  "You'd better take good care of Miaka 
you know...or someone might just steal her from  
you.......like me!"

AHHHHHHHH, Nuri-kun!!!  :fantasizing in progress:

SUCH a cute scene, the best Nuriko scene in my 
opinion ~_~  And his eyes here.....augh, cant ask 
for a better, cuter face.  And he looks like he's 
smiling right at you!!!  Meeeoooowwww!  Okay 
okay, so there's my lovey fest for this cel!  
Mmmmmyoooom, I tell you.....this will go in the 
gound with me!
