The link doesn't distort the screen if you do it this way -Reichu

Oh man.....that is BEE-u-tifull! Alas, I can't afford it on my measly salary AND afford school and my films. This recent animation piece is a bitch alongside my live action stuff but I gotta get it festival ready....

but sigh.....if I had more cash.......look at that thing......fuck me....thats nice.

Nice...that's probably one of my favorite shots out of the whole movie (or series for that matter). The animation is fluid and the artwork...well, just look at the link. Dumb question: how big is an actual cel?

Also, http://tinyurl.com/ can be handy for posting long urls like that.
I am, therefore I think.

Wasn't End of Evangelion digitally painted?

They wouldn't have needed a costly restoration process that was only half-successful if it was entirely done in digital. I think '97 was right about at the end-phase of widespread cel usage.

If you believe that this is true then I must ask;
to what end do you proceed?

Nope. I believe that digital painting didn't really get widespread until after 2000.

FLCL was GAINAX's first digitally painted show.

I did, however, think that none of the actual cells for the show remained and that GAINAX only sold duplication cells. I'm not sure if that applies for the movie, though.

Although I don't have the source handy, Fujifilm stopped producing cells around that time, and cells made by other companies weren't good enough to stack that many on top of each other. Therefore, studios moved to animating on computers. I'm sure some studios still hand draw, then scan in, but the move to animating on computers facilitated the move to draw everything using computers.

I have a collection of a number of cels. The most recent series is Noir, produced in 2001. It still was hand-drawn and painted. However, after that date, real cels seem pretty hard to find.

IIRC, Fujifilm stopped its cel production around 2002, the year after Noir.

The current bid price strikes me as way too low, given the $1,000+ price tags I've seen on similar cels from that scene at conventions. Curious to see how high it goes.

Also, don't use TinyURL. Just use the URL tag properly, like so:

Wonder if I should get that... I have no other NGE merchandise... at all. And I'm a nut for really collectible stuff. :(

Weird. I had it set in my mind that Dirty Pair Flash was one of the last fully cel-animated productions.

I fail to see buttnipples. Even if there were any, they'd be blocked by her arm as far as I can tell.

Huh? Rei has a perfectly smooth delicious wonderful glorious butt in the attached picture. What tu torquking about?

I feel like I'm not getting something.

I wouldn't buy a picture of Rei covered in blood with her head tearing off and stuff to begin with, even if it is The Rei.
