Fushigi Yuugi



I see a couple of bad jokes down there.. Why is everything so cold and white?
(FO*)		 What a cute little Tasuki, popping up from the corner of the cel.
I never really liked the OAV art as much as the TV series, and I really don't like that purple outfit. The black jacket was so nice.
On the other hand, this cel (and the next five) have a special place as the first cels I ever purchased. Even back then, I figured I should buy several things to make the shipping from Japan feel more worthwhile. It was a philosophy that stuck around for a long time.

5/15/11 - Cel has minimal line fade, no visible paint damage, though there are some tiny smudges on the top of the cel, on Tasuki's chin. Sketch is unstuck without any apparent damage.

Crystal Pepsi?! Oh, no! I can see the hairs on my knuckles!
(NFS)		 I was so thrown by an image of Tasuki looking thoughtful and calm, back when I first got this one. That, and Anime-cel had some silly comment about him playing chess.
I swear, these cels weren't just the start of my spending too much money on cels, they were also the start of me purchasing cels from Anime-cel on account of the silly captions they gave them. I can't help it, the silly captions just make me need the cels. *sniff* Those guys know what they're doing, taking advantage of the easily amused.
I never would've expected it to be this barren and desolate...
(FO)		 Itty-bitty Tasuki and Miaka.
It's cute, and so little, but these were still among the first cels I ever purchased, and so I love them dearly.
After I got these, not intending to get into collecting, I didn't get any more cels for quite a while. I'd say almost a year passed before I got any more (although I have no sense of time, and I can't remember exactly when I got them, or when I next bought cels, but I'm thinking that's a good estimate of how long it was.)
And from there, it just sort of...grew and expanded, to take over my entire free budget.
...we've landed on Infiinma's pasty inner thigh!
(FO)		 Yet another itty-bitty cel of Tasuki and Miaka, and yet more of my story.
I actually lost these cels for quite a while; when I started the page up, I remembered getting the cels, and wanted to scan them in, but could not find them anywhere. I first thought I'd left them at my parents' place, but every time I visited, I searched, and months passed with no results. I eventually gave up, figuring they'd been thrown out somewhere, or else sucked into the alternate dimension where socks go. Eventually, they popped up in one of my boxes, and there was much rejoicing.
Dammit, I'll MAKE it fit!
(FO)		 Another of my early cel purchases was this cute little shot of Miaka, holding Hotohori's sword. I liked the expression, and I really enjoyed the scene, with her facing off against Soi (who is probably my 2nd favourite FY character, after Tasuki.)
Miaka's such a cutie. She gets such a bad rap, and I know she screws up a lot...but she means so well, and she's just a good person.
To Hell with your silly Alt tags.. Nothing can stop Kabuki Cop!
(NFS)		 Probably my favourite cel from this series. I really liked Tomo to begin with; he's just so creepy and evil. That just makes this cel even better--such a happy little Tomo!
I saw a couple from this sequence on Taro, but couldn't afford it at the time. When one finally popped up on eBay, much later, I had to pay over twice as much to get it. Still, I loved it, and couldn't help but go for it.
From the OAV omake, Tomo's just thrilled about their vacation. Don't you just want to hug him when he's like this?

(FO)		 Yes! At long last, a TV Nuriko cel! Nuriko was my 2nd favourite of the good guys, but he's just so frickin' hard to get a cel of. (Mainly due to the high level of competition.) I considered myself most lucky to be the first one to get to this one.
Isn't he adorable?
