El Hazard

El Hazard
El Hazard

	Though my interest in the series isn't quite what it used to be, I still really like Ifurita. She's a very interesting character, and I always liked her design. As much flak as she gets for her fashion sense, I have to admit, I really like the outfit. ^_^;; Here's a "Golden Ifurita." It always seemed odd to me, to have a special title for her when she's in different lighting, but I like the way it looks.. ^-^;;
(NFS)	Ifurita was my second favourite character from El Hazard (shortly after the virtually unobtainable Kiriya,) and this was my favourite scene. The animation really switched styles around a lot, and I liked how this scene captured the detail and beautiful art, as well as the fluidity and motion. I was especially impressed by the way her hair looked during the attack, and this was long one of my favourite cels because of that. While I'm not that into El Hazard any more, I still adore this one.
	Another from the same scene as the above, as Ifurita attacks. This one really shows off the outfit, and a bit of that cool staff weapon of hers. Again, the hair looks wonderful. I really like OAV Ifurita.. I was a bit...taken aback when I saw her in the TV series.. Rather disappointing, after how cool Iffy was in the OAVs.
	Moments later in the attack, she's covered in shadow while the blast heads out. I have a little thing for airbrushed effects, I admit it. ^_^;; (Incidentally, that's a covering to protect the airbrushing, which you can see as a slightly off-colour on the cel. Not anything on the cel itself. I just didn't take it off before I scanned it.)
	Bought earlier in my collecting days, when I was purchasing a number of other items from the same dealer, and wanted to make the shipping more worthwhile. ^_^;; I've never really been much of a Miz fan, but I liked the emotion in the shot. It's a very thick cel, with something like 5-6 layers (my memory is poor, and I don't have it in front of me, just now.)
	Another of Miz, purchased at the same time as the above and below cels. I think this is her TV outfit..? I'm mostly just familiar with the first set of OAVs, I admit. ^_^;;
	Shayla's a mime! Mime, mime, mime! The last of the EH cels I got in that big order, I really did get it because I though Shayla looked like a mime.. Yes, I need help. I'm trying to get away from the whim-shopping, or at least to the point I used to do it back when I first started collecting.. I'm...somewhat succeeding..
	As mentioned above, I'm mainly familiar with the first OAVs. I would like to see the 2nd set, eventually, though. Especially for characters like these! From what I've heard, Gilda's the sort of character I'd really like, and Dall looks quite nice. Considering what I know of their relationship, I like how they're set out on the cel, looking away from each other like that.
(NFS)	Uwhee hee hee! Kiriya, at last! I've been hunting for cels of Kiriya since I first got into cel collecting. I've only seen a very few out there, and only had a chance at one of them before now (and missed out by just a little while on that one ;.;) As such, I was utterly gleeful when Oion was kind enough to offer me these out of the sequence she obtained. ^____^ Gleeful.
(NFS)	Even with as little screentime as she got, Kiriya was probably my favourite character from the EH OAV. ^_^;; She just had a personality that I found instantly appealing, and a very cool character design. I just wish she'd stuck around a bit longer (and then cels of her would be easier to find) Geh, I'm still just very, very happy about these. ^__^
	Awwww.. Isn't it the cutest li'l bug you ever did see? That might not be saying much, since most bugs are ugly.. But still, it's one cute bug. ^_^ The Bugrom were so silly, and I liked their designs. This from somebody who loathes 99% of all insect-dom. (I make exceptions for Praying Mantises, and a few select others.)
	Nifty li'l Galus, in his true form. I wanted one for a while, but I'd mostly stopped seeking El Hazard cels out. As such, I was fortunate enough to get this cel offered to me. Thank you very much again, oion! (Thanks especially for putting up with what a yutz I am, sometimes. ^_^;;) Galus just looks so keen in his real form. Now he can keep Kiriya company. ^__^
	Heehee! It's Miz's cute little fluffy servant. He was so sweet, and tried to help out as best he could. Well, I guess he helped out in the end.. After all, was it not he who inadvertantly got Miz and Fujisawa to meet? ^_^;;
