![]() "When Raphael and Mikael fight, Raph gets sent to the clothesline instead of the couch." |
Free Raphael! Free Raphael! Woo hoooo!!! I'd seen several cels from this sequence pop up lately but I'd never thought I'd have one of my own. Despite this coming from my beloved episode 20, I'm not so crazy about this particular scene for a couple of reasons. First of all, I love Raphael the most when he's sweet and serious and... umm.. let's just say he's not depicted at his most serious in this scene. ![]() ![]()
Some more backstory to this cel. It comes from the very beginning of episode 20. Mikael is studying late into the night(or had woken up really early) about angels, trying to figure out how he can best help Noelle. Raphael, who had been sleeping on a clothesline stretched across the room for some unfathonable reason, wakes up and asks what the heck Mikael is doing so early in the morning. After some discussion Raphael starts hanging upside down from the clothesline muttering how awesome Mikael is. (Awww...
![]() And after this Raphael gives Mikael a pop-quiz that has to be answered in haiku form-- and then the episode gets really interesting! So what are you doing standing around gaping at me? Go watch the episode! Shoo! *waves arms around*
This cel came as a freebie with the lot that included my bet cel, my Yuusuke climbing the stairway to heaven, and Eros standing over Silky-sama's drawer. The first thing I saw when opening this package was my much-anticipated bet cel (tinted green as all the cels had been stored inside a plastic sleeve-- only one cel bag for the entire lot, alas, but overall I really like the Yahoo Japan sellers
Now, now, boys, play nice.
Eh heh...
Umm, as I was saying, I was trying not to get too excited over the Raphael sketch since the matching cel might not have been included. But it was included! Wai! Free Raphael cel! The cel is C-22 key. I'm not exactly sure what the other layer elements would be-- shadows perhaps? Unfortunately the pixelation is particularly bad in this scan.
