	Ho'-crap. This cel is WIN enough to get the top spot on the first page. Go, cel. I usually don't find myself terribly interested in most of the things Mandarake has up for auction, but this was certainly an exception. It had been quite a few months since my last cel purchase, and my bank account was burning with spicy hot Christmas money. I just couldn't let this one pass me by. There was a cel of Oboe from the opening available as well, but I accidentally slept through the end of the auction. In the end, it was fortunate, as I wouldn't have been able to afford this one if I had managed to win the Oboe. I like this cel. Lots.
	Well, this was my first VoH cel featuring a single character other than Guitar.. I really do like Raiel. He's such a sweetheart, but things just never work out for him. This scene comes in after the invasion of Dal Segno, before Trombone's mother gives her last words. He's looking so grim and serious..
	Whee....First episode cel! I like Hamel in the clothes he wears in the first couple of episodes. (Not to say I dislike his nifty-keen black & white duds; on the contrary, I am also quite fond of those as well.) This was my first nice shot of Hamel, who I'd been neglecting in favour of Guitar. I figured it was about time I get a cel of Hamel, since he is the main character, and all. From early in the first episode, as Flute drags Hamel out the door, past her dear Grandpa. Ne..those poor kids...so happy back then. ;.;
(NFS)	As strange as my tastes range, I must admit, I won't say no to your standard "bishounen". And Clary is the VoH requisite pretty boy. He's also an interesting, and likeable character, which doesn't hurt. But then, I didn't get this cel for his personality, now did I? ^_^;; It's all about what a lovely bit of eye candy Clary is. Looking at this cel, I have the strange desire to brush his hair.
	Finally, another Raiel! ^_^ Isn't he just adorable? I love his expression in this shot. He just looks so darned cute. I especially love his hair, here. My other Raiel cel has such dim lighting, it's hard to tell what a wonderful colour his hair is. It's very bright, and vibrant here.
	Hee! It's the Bassy Head! Bassy Head Love! Mala loves the cutie blue Bassy Head. Up the nose shot! RAWR. ...Um...yeah. Beardiness to the max!! PATCH!! ... ... Okay. I'm really tired. Stupid scanner and its stupid smudgy-looking artifact.
	Another Raiel! I went after this one because I was trying for another cel from the same seller at the time, and figured I might as well get it, too. In the end, I only got this one, not the one I set out for. Regardless, it's most certainly a lovely little Raiel. His eyes look especially nice in this shot.
	Percuss = The Coolest Ever. (Except For Guitar.) You all know it. There's no denying it. Percuss is just that cool. Hurrah for Percuss!
	A nice shot of Raiel and Birdy. I didn't have any of Birdy, so I figured I ought to pick up at least one during Nick's last big sale... There were a few of her alone, but I ended up going for this one since it had Raiel too. Love the Raiel. Unfortunately, it has -- as you can probably see -- suffered a fair amount of line fade. I do quite like the looks of this shot anyway.
	I quite liked this shot of Trombone and Coronet together, so I finally broke down and purchased it. I like the dim lighting and deep shadows, and the art's looking particularly nice here. As much as I'm not a TV-Coro fan, she is looking pretty cute here.
