Tadami
Episode 12
This is a really gorgeous
close-up of Tadami... and there's just so much detail in her
hair.
From early in the episode,
right after her tearful reunion with Kouran - Kutani has just
asked her where Himiko is, and she's trying to use Bokka-sama's
power to find her.

Himiko Himejima
& Kutani Masahiko
Episode 10
One of two cels I've seen of
Kutani so far. He's voiced by Seki Tomokazu, so I have to like
him. ^^;
I appear to be destined to do
his costume at an anime convention of these years, too.

Tadami & Shino
Episode 11
I really love the blued-out
lighting effect they make use of in this series, and here's a
good example of it. Despite the washing-out of the other colors,
the characters keep their details, and don't lose the color
gradients.
The two are in the background,
behind Himiko, as everyone amazes over Kutani controlling
Bokka-sama's power.

Kira
Episode 10 (?)
I'm positive that this is Kira
now, at least, since I've seen closeups of her in episode 10.
But I haven't seen this exact shot, since her closeups are
either slightly from the side, or with wrinkled eyebrows. It's
possible that my baka DVD player (it's a Sony, mind you),
doesn't do cel-length single frame jumps which would allow me to
see it. I wonder if it's also possible they didn't use this cel
in the final product?

Himiko Himejima
Episode 11
This is from the sequence where
Kutani is learning to control Bokka-sama's power. It looks like
there should be a correction layer for it, though, since the
animation lacks the big white space between her legs
|
 |
Seika
Episode 11
From the sequence where
Bokka-sama's power purifies her father.
|
 |
Tadami
Episode 11
This cel is of Tadami
jumping out of the airplane that she and Kouran bought as their
"ultimate weapon," right after Shikara knocks off one
of its wings.
|
 |
Seika
Episode 11
I *really* wish that she wasn't
the easiest queen candidate to find cels of...
This is when Seika tells Enki
that he can inform her about her father at a later time, right
before the group heads out into battle.
|
 |
Fujina
Episode 11
When I saw this cel, I nearly
had a fit. It's the first and only cel of Fujina I've ever seen,
and she's my favorite character. One of my friends
is incredibly jealous of me for owning this cel, because she
really likes Fujina too.
Fujina is saluting Heihachiro
to the afterlife, and telling him to wait for her with a bottle
of sake.

Tenmoku
Episode 11
Or "Miss Peacock" as
I called her before I figured out her name. Unfortunately, she's
lacking her plumage in this cel... but it's still rather nice.
This is when she and Kira are
talking on the balcony, her reaction to the explosions. Most of
this cel should covered by a profile shot of Kira that should be
on top of it.

Himiko Himejima |
 |
Imari
Episode 2
Imari cels are very rare
(outside of Yann's personal gallery, anyway), so I jumped on
this one when I saw it. I knew exactly where it was from, so
that was a big plus, too. ^^;
Imari is watching Kutani
"free climb" up the wall of the palace as they
escape.
|
 |
Seika
Episode 1
As you can see in the larger
image, this cel was painted on the acetate upside down, so that
the registration holes are at the bottom of the image. Does
anyone by any chance know what the significance of that is?
|
 |
Seika
Episode 11
This is from just a bit before
the Seika cel above where she was turned to the other side, but
is when she's turning to face him after he says he needs to tell
her about her father, before they put Kiyomizu on screen for .5
seconds.
|
 |
Seika
Episode 11
I will again lament the fact
that Seika is the easiest of the queen candidates to find cels
of. Why do I lament it? She's definitely not my favorite of the
six.
Seika is trying to stop the
power of Bokka-sama from purifying her father of his
affliction.
|
 |
Shikara
Episode 10
Nepotism at it's absolute
worst... and the fact that I've heard him called "Tomo"
(as in the Seiryuu seishi from Fushigi Yuugi) just makes my skin
crawl.
This cel is from episode 10,
right after Chosa's flashback to the battle in the valley where
he saw Kutani.
|
 |
Seika
Episode 11
Okay, I *swear* this is
going to be the last cel of Seika I buy. But at 50% off the
marked price, I could hardly pass up a cel this nice, even if I
really don't like her as a character.
This is Seika's reaction shot
to being reunited with her father in the hallways on the way to
the Fountain of Darkness.
|
 |
Himiko Himejima
& Kyou
Episode 10
Admittedly, I got this cel more
for Kyou than for Himiko, but it's such a cute image of the two
of them.
This is when Himiko and Enki
are using Bokka-sama's power to heal the not-charred Kutani.
|
 |
Shino
Episode 10I first saw this cel on Yahoo!
Japan Auctions months before I signed up for a deputy... and was terribly surprised to see
it again when I signed up for the Anime Chaos deputy service.
So I bid, and won. The cel is 3 layers plus the
background, and looks a lot nicer in person than it does
scanned.
Shino is riding the cart into
Tofuku Castle - this is right before she makes the guards blush
incredibly. ^^;;
