	I adored Bantarou when he was being silly..but when things started getting rough, and he got all heroic, he was even better. ;.; It was just the coolest thing.. Bantarou's such a great character.. And poor, stressed-out Koinosuke's back there, too. He turned out to be so useless in the time of need. It was really adorable..
	Shiro's lady-stalker, Ms. Otome and her gang of cute & creepy compatriots, collectively dubbed the "Fruffians" by my ex-roommate and me. They're all so creepy in such an adorable way. Ms. Otome's just as odd as can be, and her little followers are so...marrionette. They reminded us of the Shadow Girls from Utena, for some reason. Probably just the combination of adorable + creepy. ^_^;; Aren't they just loveable, though?
	I've been watching this cel on Chaos for ages now, and came close to buying it with almost every order.. At one point, I think it was marked on hold, and so I just gave up on it. However, at the last sale, I noticed there was no 'hold' mark on it, so I finally gave up and went for it. It's just the most delightfully silly looking cel, and terribly fun. ^_^
(NFS)	I guess it may not look like much to some, but this was actually a huge dream cel. ^_^ I still can't believe my luck in getting this cel. This is from the opening scene of the first episode of Jubei-chan, in which the story of the conflict between Jubei and the Ryujoji clan is first explained. The fight was very fast-paced, and it was very dimly lit. As such, I figured on the very off chance I ever saw a cel from the scene, it'd be absolutely unrecognizeable. Then I saw this. Absolute GLEE.
(NFS)	Yeah, not only did I get one cel from the dream-sequence, I got two. I really don't care that it's far off, it's just absolutely wonderful. ^__^ While it's pretty nifty to have a cel of the real Jubei, I honestly wanted it mostly for Ryujoji Godai (voiced by the ever-delightful Matsuyama Takashi.) Besides.. It's a fight scene! Whooo, fight!
(NFS)	Another cel I thought I'd never see, and didn't even have a chance to put up on my wishlist before I got it. ^_^;; I remember joking with my roommates about finding a cel from this scene, just because it was so hilarious.. I really love Jubei-chan. It's just the wackiest little show.. If you have seen it, you know why Sai's licking Koinosuke. If not, you should go out and watch it. I just love how Sai moves around in this scene..
	Sachi snags Shiro to borrow his vast knowledge of foreign languages, that he may translate for her the letter she's just been given. This whole thing was scary and wacky all at once.. ^_^;; Poor Sachi... I really liked her. She's so.. Blunt, and serious. I like that.
	Shiro gives up and translates the letter for her. I think I need to borrow a Shiro; he could come in handy trying to translate YJ auctions, or something.. ^_^;; Eeheehee.. Doesn't he have the cutest expression?

Nothing can defeat us...expendable ninjas!

First off, on my computer this cel looks like a big blob of black in the scan. Of course, my monitor is very dark, even at max brightness. Adjusting gamma correction, I can see that it really does have details. So if it looks like a blob, it's the brightness thing. ^_^;; It is a dark cel, and scanned even darker, but there really is detail in it.
It's a horde of Exhausted Shadow Ninja flunkies. I love how they slide into the shot, and the background's just gorgeous.
One of those oversized cels I didn't have the heart to try cramming into my usual thumbnail size.
