    Pardon the dust, as I get this site up an running.  For now, I just have moved over the part from my old site that dealt with settei (all sorts of setting materials from model sheets, storyboards, animation cels, cel drawings, timing sheets, corrections, scripts. material collections, and various marketing, press kit, information and production materials I managed to get my hands on).   I've had that site since 1998, but due to the hosting be unstable it is being relocated, in part, to this location.
  

     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).   I do happen to have a handful of scripts and press kits that are not animation related, so I may put them up if people are interested.


     In addition to the trading center, this site will eventually contain the following sections: Setting materials (settei or model sheets) 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 and information (proofs, show bibles and the like), promotional and other merchandise (sericels, lithographs, learn to paint animation cels, etc.).   There will be a section for links to other resources at some point as well and amybe a glossary of terms.


      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 as 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.
