This site will focus on things relating to animation,
be they western or eastern (anime), Be they from shows, movies, videos
games or even online shorts. Some things that are animation adjacent
may end up on here (example, I have a few pretty guardian sailor moon live
action scripts. As that show is a branch off from the anime, not to
mention there is CGI used, it is adjacent enough to count).
In addition to the trading center, this
site will eventually contain the following sections:
Setting materials (settei) for western animation, settei
for eastern animation, scripts, storyboards, originals
(drawings, animation cels, backgrounds and the like),
animation corrections and copies of douga and genga, press
kits, merchandise reference (binders and supplements),
Production references (proofs, show bibles and the like),
promotional and other merchandise (sericels, lithographs,
learn to pain animation cels, etc.), and other
information. there will be a section for links
to other resources at some point as well.
I may also add in a section for
published works like material collections and douga pads,
but it would only contain covers for most of them, with
only out of print with the publisher out of business (or
never intending to rerelease) ones
being up for digital scans. For now, you can see
what is in some of such books on the trading center page
(will have preview images up for anything I have scanned
in, has been donated or traded for or in rare cases for
ones I did not scan, but want to make sure they are
preserved and not lost).
Currently I will be working on updating the trading center and making sure
everything has been moved over. All the downloads that I will be
organizing and listing here can be found in various sections of the
trading center. The trading center is also where I raise money
to help offset the costs of running the site. This site will
probably always be run at a loss, but every bit does help me keep
providing the digital scans, preserving pieces of animation history.
