Well, I am 19 and have just started collecting for
about 5 months now.

it is a very addicting hobby (duh)
and a strain on my wallet 
but to fun to resist, (for now, maybe my fancies 
will wander else where soon)

i like the competition (somewhat)
involved in collecting cels and the beautiful 
artwork involved

 a few years ago i used to read this forum and 
used to think (wow these people are crazy for 
spending this type of cash) but someone once said:
"if you really love the hobby then no amount you 
spend should bother you".  I got my first 
inuyasha cel and said ok i own a piece of 
history, i can quit,  yeahhhhhhh riiiiight.
90 cels later i have given up that phrase lol.

below is my first inuyasha cel
