I guess it's a small thing, but when I first saw this scene, I was
just stunned. The emotion, the beauty, and the motion of the shot..
It just immediately hit me, and stuck with me as one of the most
memorable moments from the series. As such, I considered it quite
a stroke of luck to get a cel from this scene. I love the power,
and the movement. Just one of my favourites. ^-^

One of my oddball cels, to be certain. This is the first
time Flute ever uses her magical powers, to heal Trombone's wound.
It's such a key scene, even if it's a really wacky thing to have
a cel of. ^_^;;
This poor thing was sitting on Usagi's for so long,
I felt it deserved a home. It was just the red-headed step-child
of VoH cels. ^_^;; (And, no, Pu, you'll never get my Trom-foot away from
me! >D)
It was so nicely packaged when I got it, that
I hadn't yet taken it out of the bags when I scanned it. ^-^;; Hence
the sticker..

Let's hear it for Slur! Those crazy kids had some of the most
oddball designs, and made for some very interesting characters. I
was glad they got some decent screentime in the anime, since they
don't get to do a whole heck of a lot in the manga.
Kokkyuu also happens to be a pretty cool guy. (Even if my
roommate thinks he looks too much like a girl, even for a bishounen.)
I really like this cel for the expression. He looks so exhausted,
tired of what turned out to be a futile attempt, and yet so at
peace with everything. I don't know. I'm just having
an interesting time trying to skip around spoilers, and do this cel
justice. ^-^;;
His eyes are truly wonderful in this shot.

From one of my favourite scenes; I'm more a fan of the manga than the TV series
(sadly, though, the manga just doesn't come with cels ^.^;;) and prefer the mix of
drama with comedy (neither is quite as effective without the presence of the other,
IMO.) As such, I liked the somewhat sillier early episodes.
This is the
ep which introduces Raiel, and which was second only to Trom's first episode in
bits of goofiness. The whole piece when they all go out to eat...lovely silly.
I just love Oboe's cute expression and blush lines in this one!
Sadly, it didn't come with the text layers that slide across at this point.

I must thank Nick for his lovely sale -- I've liked this cel for quite a while, but never really considered that
I might get it. The original price was just out of my comfort zone, so I admired it without much thought in the
way of acquiring it. Along came the sale, though, and I was fortunate enough to snag this puppy.
I really do
like this shot; I'm not a big fan of close-ups, but this is a good one for me. Close enough for good detail,
but shows off at least one horn, and at an interesting angle.
It means yet another gap in my VoH collection is
nicely filled.

Poor Mr. Oboe Man. Oboe needs a hug. Or maybe a transfusion.
I just love cels of suffering, I do. I'm so terrible like
that. Also a neat shot of TV Oboe, again.
I know a lot of people don't like this version, but I can't help but adore him
and his horribly mismatched clothing, his goofy hair, silly pointed ears, and monocle.
...Yeah, so it's mostly the monocle.

Trom's Mama, 'cause she's a cool, cool lady. I've seen a number of cels from this particular sequence,
and I had been
meaning to pick one up for quite a while. I just needed to decide which one to get -- in
the end, it was decided by a sale,
and a very nice price.
I love her eyes, and the gem on her forehed -- so much detail, it's quite lovely.
