    Saw it and felt Keanu could've delivered the same emotional 'range' as Benedict as Strange. Oh well, still a good into the spiritual realms.

    Going to enjoy this popcorn flick and relax....

    Seems only proper since women typically get all the recognition and 'special treatment' on Valentines Day.

    Looks great with plenty of 70s-80s references to turn up the nostalgia. Anyone else know how much of this will follow the animated series and Peters search? On that note, anyone enjoy the animated series? Thought it was actually well scripted and the voice acting enjoyable.

    Personally feel Watson does not fit the role well. It is going to be exceptionally hard to top the exceptional voice acting, lush traditional animation, and musical scores from the animated classic. Will pass and watch if coerced to do so.
  6. Fortress_Maximus
    Entirely plausible. Only question is do you want to bid on it?
  7. Fortress_Maximus
    Possibly the attached image, but would need to compare to other scenes from TV and movie too.

    I'd wager if it was an authentic hanken mono it would sale at a higher price.

    Really looking forward to this newest chapter of John Wick! Wondering how many more times can people pull him back in even though he says he is out.

    Depends on the translation software used some say it was production cel. Go figure. Saw that genga, even if authentic which is doubtful, it is excessively overpriced. For me the composition isn't worth the cost and it isn't even a sequence. What do you think?

    Another fake cel https://www.rinkya.com/en/auction-l377250348?dollar=part

    Apologies in advance for reviving this thread, did not locate any newer ones. Question to all, have any of you obtained or read the original novels by Takachiho Haruka? Wanted to ask the community their impressions on the classic novels. Thanks!

    Nice Stormriders swords. Care to show the rest of your collection? Thanks.

    Coming along nicely!

    Nice! Enjoying the DYRL translations. Thanks for sharing and thanks to Gubaba for his generosity and dedication!
  16. Fortress_Maximus
    I concur!

    As the saying goes, if it looks too good to be true.... This hanken forgery is a good reminder to always cross-check against source materials.
  18. Fortress_Maximus
    Yup missing a bit on the edges and bottom. Ok scratch my earlier comment jvmacross, I didn't recheck the full sized image you posted. I am pretty sure it is a fake now. The acetate size is completely wrong! Also, notice there are areas where the creases do not cast shadows? Then there's the missing reflection from Max's glasses, plus his missing cuffs, and of course Millia's right and left arms! Looks like we have another forgery group becoming active on YJP.

    Usually there are not different versions for hanken monos, but it is entirely possibly multiples were made for the Millia and Max wedding hanken. The artwork used for Animage May 1983 cover already had some traceline fading which is unusual. Worst case, the one listed in auction is an exceptionally well-made fan cel.
  20. Fortress_Maximus
    Indeed! Love the old school Masami artwork. Looking forward to your collection posts. Sounds cool and delicious! Btw, belated congrats on the Misa TV acquisition.
  21. Fortress_Maximus
    Interesting theory! The veil actually does look like real fabric/material was used. This hanken mono was used for the magazine cover of the Animage December 1984 issue. Since it was used for advertising specifically and not in animation production, the pearls would not be animated to move. It is just my educated guess based on other hankens I've owned and researched, but I think the pearl necklace was probably airbrushed. In such cases the pearls typically are not secondary layers, meaning the layer would be the same as the primary face and body. Alas, we may never know, so Mikimoto-sensei might be the only person who can solve this mystery for us.
  22. Fortress_Maximus
    Looks fake. It is in well preserved condition with solid lines and vibrant colors, but it is also missing a lot of the original hanken image especially Millia's arms and Max's arm etc. If it was reasonably priced jvmacross, this fancel would make a nice pairing with your Misa and Hikaru wedding hanken. Speaking of which, did you ever determine why Misa's pearls and veil were missing?
  23. Fortress_Maximus
    Yup that hanken has been circling for a couple weeks now.

    @baronv Good to see you around! There aren't many cel dealers left carrying anime cels circa 70-80s, but, you are right what is offered tends to be American 80s animation. High end cels and artwork are still rare, but, some collectors do release their Macross cels, albeit infrequently. Still glad to see your collection is being shared on RS.
  25. Fortress_Maximus
    @tepidarium Make time to scan your cels and artwork and display them in your RS gallery. This is a great way to view them more frequently without increasing the likelihood of damaging the artwork. I only take my cels out to conduct the inspections previously mentioned. Good luck!
