Wow guys, these cels look really great! I'd love to have one myself. Lots to be found on eBay apparently varying widely in price. Do you guys have any tips for me before I buy one? Is there any way to verify that the cel is legit?

Hi! So I want to purchase my first production cel. Here it is:

However, I can't for the life of me find the exact corresponding scene in the anime. Do you guys perhaps recognize this scene or otherwise know if this is a legit cel?

I have no doubt that this comes from the filler episodes when SS2 Goku fights Pure Boo. You can even see Boo's knee in the bottom left. I'll see if I can pull up the episode real quick, but someone will probably beat me to it. Episode #279, probably.

I thought so too at first, but I can't seem to find the exact scene. I'm a bit hesitant to buy the cel now as I really want one that's from the actual show :oops:

Sorry for the shitty quality. This is from my Dragon Boxes, taken by VLC with the snapshot function. I'm an amateur when it comes to taking lossless, perfect shots of the anime. I even had to stretch it to the proper aspect ratio because VLC has a bug in the current version that auto-widescreens them.

But yes indeed, your cel is from episode #279, right around the 12:25 mark when Boo is repeatedly kicking Goku. It's quick, but it's there.

Jeez, aren't I a doofus. Checked the episode three times.
Anyway, thank you very much for your help! I've pulled the purchase-trigger, so now the wait until arrival begins.

I finally did some research into my own cel and found that it's from DBZ 213. I'm also 90% certain that it's a Tadayoshi Yamamuro drawing, but if anyone else thinks differently, I'd like to know. Here it is:
The BG is fake and a middle cel of Goku's hand holding a bowl is missing. Got it for pretty cheap, though! $40 at Nakano Broadway in Tokyo. I think the sales clerk was new and just grabbed a few random good cels. The next day I went back and another person showed me 3 other not-so-good cels completely different from the day before.

Great artwork! $40 for a Yamamuro one really is a steal.

That would be Episode 92, 7 minutes and 15 seconds in, if you're going by the Dragon Boxes (So, Disc 2 of Dragon Box 3). :)

You are the best. Thank you! Looks like it's one of these three: Tai’ichirō Ohara, Naotoshi Shida, Tetsuya Saeki. Kinda hope it's Shida's work, but who knows!

The color scheme of that cel resembles Kai more than Z.

Yup! As does pretty much every cel. Kai actually colour corrected the footage relatively accurately, whereas other releases either had nothing done to them (Dragon Box), or were corrected terribly (FUNi OBs & Season sets).

The new cel arrived today, so here's a more detailed look:
The shot in Kai:
Really happy with it. It's a surprisingly striking shot in person.

Where to buy UV proof glass frames in Canada? Tried Michael's but nope. Custom only. Want to finally put up some cels, posters, record album covers and lobby cards. The video store standees might be a bit much...

So jealous of that cel, I love panning shots.
This is the episode of when Gokuh enrages himself after Freezer talk shit about Kuririn

That's the moment just before Cell is hit with Goku's Instant Transmission Kamehameha isn't it?
