Thanks goes to Ryo for setting me in the right direction, and Keys for the definitive ID. This one's from Meitantei Holmes, also called Sherlock Hound.
I kept an eye out for this cel when I was watching the series, but I never found it. I found a couple scenes in which I was really expecting to see it, and even one shot that looked somewhat similar, but not quite. Hm.
And indeed little could be a better match than Moriarty himself! @.@! As...a cute purple doggie with a monocle and a top hat.. Hot damn. Love that wicked expression..
From the "Adventure of the Blue Carbuncle" episode, one of the six episodes written/directed by Miyazaki.
One of the gaudiest cels I own. XD I love it. This thing is genuinely painful to look at in person. Oh, my friggin' eyes.
From the episode, "Treasure Under the Sea." Another of the Miyazaki episodes; this one was a great deal of fun.
I must stop and say how thrilled I am to finally have more cels from this show. I went through a long dry period, and was starting to give up all hope when I managed to land a whole batch from various sources.
This particular shot comes from the "Treasure Under the Sea" episode again. I certainly can't complain, as I loved that episode. Moriarty was not so amused by Watson's little greeting. ^^
I love the pink submarine! Too bad you can only barely see Todd.
Looks a bit odd due to the missing layer, but I love it anyway. Also from the "Treasure Under the Sea" episode.
Here Moriarty is keeping an eye on the British Navy -- and more specifically, on the heavy artillery.
I absolutely love the expressions. Super cuteness.
I really feel like I should know the scene... They're flying around somewhere, anyway.
I have a feeling the background may not be matching, which could also be confounding my ability to place it...
Either way, Moriarty's super spiffy and packing heat! ...I find it hard to think of him as dangerous in any way, but it seems he's trying to prove me wrong.
There were some rather disappointing episodes in the latter half of the series, and at one point I was almost ready to give up watching. I'm rather glad I didn't, as the episodes picked up again toward the end. I did enjoy this episode.
Many episodes weren't really mysteries so much as adventures. This one felt closer to the Doyle novels than most, while still keeping the warm, light-hearted tone one would expect from this incarnation.
Oh, and lest I forget -- Moriarty was great in this episode. Hee.
I'm not saying I disliked her...but I didn't find her particularly likable, either. She was amusing enough, and fairly cute, but she got on my nerves in the way most little kids in shows do.
It seems she was quite popular in Japan, though. Cels of her tend to go for more than almost any other character I've seen -- even more than Mrs. Hudson! O.O I snagged this one off Nick's site in the misc. category, just 'cause it was there, and the price was right.
Skipping along, after swiping the gem that Moriarty stole. Poor Moriarty.
