About this FAQ
I don't know everything about cels. I wish I did. However, over the years
I've picked up a few bits of information from various sources that I thought might be useful. My standard disclaimer is that
I may be wrong and that whatever you do to your own cels is your own business
and not my fault. I do urge you to be careful and hesitant in the treatment
of your cels.
An interesting note about anime cel collecting from my point of view (that of
a non-Japanese who relies mostly on English sites), is that the community's
terminology seems to be a blend of US animation terms and Japanese animation
terms. This introduces some redundancy and a couple non-sensical things.
However, I find both terms to be of use, especially as a seller might know one
set better than the other.
As I said earlier, I gathered this information from very many sources. I
would like to thank Brian of Kimono cels, Rick of Anime Link, Chad of The
Internet Guide, Stephen of Anime Taro, David of Nichibei, Nia, Thia, Heather of Usagi's House,
Yann of Animanga/Cels.org and countless others who I'm sure I'm forgetting for
sharing their knowledge over the years. I highly recommend asking them and visiting
their sites for more information. (Note: these people do not necessarily
endorse this site in any way.)
Lastly, this is by far not comprehensive. There are many things I couldn't
even begin to tell you about. There are some topics I barely touch upon if
at all. I
have added some links to other great sites which cover these (as well as good
all around FAQs) in the links section.
