First update of 2013

New stuff is up: the most splashy this time is CGI art. "Rozen Maiden" gets just one addition, but an immensely significant one if you know the last episode well (SPOILER!). And there's a new gallery for the likeable Bones series "Ouran High School Host Club," with three engaging roughs. And "Kamikaze Kaitou Jeanne" has its Ep. 34 gallery expanded and gets a new Ep. 37 one, thanks to a new trove of art that showed up on auction. SPOILERS! but it's interesting to see runs of art from the same episode and even adjacent scenes. You really begin to get a sense for the individual artists involved in creating that story.

And cels! I'd wanted a really nice cel of "Hyper Police's" hunky werewolf Batanan from the adventure in which he's shrunk back to childhood (puppyhood?), and that came with two other minor but pretty items. And if you are adventurous, look through the grab-bag of cels from the 1980s "Gegege no Kitaro," a fun mix of folklore, horror, and Toei's physical humor.

Plus I've continued to work on the new "architecture" of the gallery, which clusters the galleries into three heads, one dealing with "Golden Age" (pre-1990) series, one with "Classic Cels" (1990-2000) and one with "Contemporary CGI" (2000+) art. I redid the "Quick Gallery Tour" to fit, and hope that this provides a good first move for visitors of what has become a rather daunting home page, full of gallery titles. Reactions welcome!
