Okay, Here's some background on me. I have always been an avid collector of anything unusual or rare. I've always liked owning something one of a kind. I guess this is the root of my collecting animation cels. No two cels are exactly the same. This site was created to show off my current cel collection.
     While I have always liked cartoons, anime has it's own style. It's not just for children. Believe me, there are shows out there besides Pokemon. Quite a few anime series are geared towards adults.
    It wasn't until basic cable in my area was expanded to include Cartoon Network, that I really discovered the vast variety in Japanese Animation. Cartoon Network has two showings of anime. The first, called Toonami, runs from 5-7pm Pacific time. The other, called Toonami Midnight Run, runs at midnight-1am Pacific time. Each showing of Toonami would showcase half hour episodes of anime such as Dragonball Z, Ronin Warriors, Gundam Wing, Tenchi Muyo, Outlaw Star, etc. Most of which is edited for television. (Buy the unedited DVDs. Most all of the series are much better unedited.)
    I became hooked on Toonami Midnight Run, which would show Dragonball Z, followed by Gundam Wing. I couldn't miss these shows, and stayed up every night to see them. Steadily, I learned of more anime series, and movies, and steadily my DVD collection grew.
    I know there is a debate as to whether to watch anime in it's original Japanese, with subtitles, or to watch them dubbed. I prefer the dubbed versions. I started watching anime through Toonami, and that's just what I'm used too...
