| A Tree of Palme |
| I have most of the characters and scenes that I really want, but I’m always watching for dramatic images, particularly from the climax of the movie. Also, the backgrounds are so lovely in themselves that I’d always be ready to bid on a lot with one of these. |

Ah My Goddess!
|
| I’d like to expand this part of my collection somewhat, particularly items from the OVA. As I know that good cels from both this and from the movie are pricey, however, I expect that this will come a little at a time. An OVA Urd, right now, is the thing I’m tempted by. |

| Cardcaptor Sakura |
| I’ve got a lot of CCS now, and while I love the series and its art dearly, I probably will be very selective about what I add here from now on. I’m always tempted by Episode 1 and Episode 40 items, but will probably continue to be selective even here. |

| Condition Green |
| The storyboard that I obtained is such a hoot that I’d love to add more cels to my collection. Sadly, they’re not much in evidence. So any art from this show would get my attention, particularly an image of the mohawked George (“Mr. G”) with the psychedelic squirrels. |

Grimm Masterpiece Theatre
|
| This series, too, is not easy to collect, and I consider myself lucky to have the three cels I have. As with Condition Green, any nice art from this show would catch my eye. |

| |
| Hyper Police |
| This is a series in which the sketch art is often so extraordinary that I’m as happy with genga sets as with cels. However, neither are plentiful. I’d gladly bite on any good-sized lot of sketches, and a strong, dramatic image of any character (especially the fox-spirit Sakura) would also get me batting up against the screen. |

| Inuyasha |
| I’m content with sketch sets from the CGI portion of this great series and unlikely to add cels to my collection. Sketch sets from the great Ep. 163 (The Secret Garden) are my biggest priority, but really any dramatic series with the Inu-tachi would be a happy addition. (Shesshy and other baddies need not apply, sorry.) |

| Kamikaze Kaitou Jeanne |
| This too has become a large collection, and so I’m becoming more selective, focusing on genga sets of the magical forms of the characters and their angelic/demonic helpers. I’d like to have more and better images of Sinbad and of Hottie-sensei, Hijiri or his evil magical form Claude Noin. |

| Magic Knight Rayearth |
| Initially just a collection of sketches, I’ve begun to expand this gallery as nice MKR cels have become increasingly affordable. Particularly desired are dramatic cels from the series finale (Ep. 49) or from the OVA (aka “CLAMP Destroys Tokyo!”) |

| Mushishi |
| I’m aware that sketch work from this show is very scarce and very pricy, but I’m always on the watch for reasonable purchases, like the lot of art boards that I added last year. |

NieA_7
|
| Artwork from this series is likewise uncommon, and I’d be very interested in adding sketches here, particularly of the characters other than Mayuko, particularly NieA herself. |

Very High |
| |
| Powerpuff Girls Z |
| Here’s another area where I have a surplus of material, though I’m continuing to make occasional purchases of lots that go with the episodes from which I already have material. |

Princess Tutu
|
| Another series that is very difficult to collect and pricy when lots do appear. That said, a good lot of backgrounds will always have me looking, and I do know that they are exquisite enough to be worth every penny of the sale price. |

| Saiyuki |
| I admit that I’ve not watched enough of this series to be literate in the plot (but I read all of the abridged version of the original Chinese folk novel!) So my approach is to look for sketch sets that are intrinsically compelling in quality. I’m most interested in Son Goku and Sanzo, but also find the various demons and villains attractive. |

Sasami: Mahou Shoujo Club
|
| I’m sorry I didn’t get more art from this interesting show when it was available. I’d like to add more images of the side characters, particularly Tsukasa, who is my favorite, as well as the Yue character, Amitav. |

| Slayers |
| I’m ambivalent about collecting this series: I have a few cels and more sketches. But I enjoy the over-the-top feel of the best items I have. Probably this part of my collection will continue to grow, mainly on the sketch front, but very slowly. |

| Tenshi ni Narumon |
| This is another gallery that has just about reached its logical apex, and I’ll be very picky about adding to it from now on. That said, I’m always looking for cels to fit sketch sets I’ve obtained, and the production backgrounds are always unexpectedly pretty. |

| Tonde Buurin |
| Stop me before I bid agaaaaaaain! Cels this quirky and cheap can’t be bad for me, can they?. That said, I keep finding more darn art from this series everywhere I look in my house, and so I’m trying to stick to a very strict pork-free diet. (Did someone say there’s a TB OP cel up on YJ this week?) |

Vampire Princess Miyu
|
| This is another gallery that will continue to grow, but slowly. I am very drawn to the art (thanks to the artistic link to the group that did MKR). But I tend to purchase only cels (mostly of Miyu) that I find very expressive for some reason. |

| I like what I have seen of the series so far, and think the art is very true to Clamp’s conception of the characters. Sadly, the art is rather scarce. Perhaps with the second season now in production, more sketches from it will come onto the market. |
