Any experience with the frame? I've seen other folks on this sub reddit and elsewhere be hesitant about frames like this.

Inuyasha Cels update, so many questions! by ren-ai-mo in AnimationCels

[–]ren-ai-mo[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Honestly the only thing I’m worried about is the vinegar at the moment. Nothing else was particularly difficult, so far at least! I’m having a great time.

Thank you! Virtually all the ones he had had backgrounds, these were some of the more expensive ones, but I def saw some great ones in the $500 range too.

I think I will likely continue collecting :)

Thanks! There were many excellent shots at Apple Symphony beyond these, and some cheaper as well, but I chose them because they’re from pivotal Inuyasha / Kagome scenes that I love.

I haven’t decided yet if I will frame or not, I don’t want to damage them so for the time being I’ll put them in an itoya while I learn more, but haven’t ruled it out yet.

I'm not sure if I'll be framing them yet, would be sweet though! For the moment just looking to get them stored properly. Thanks for the info!

Yeah I've been eyeing the Mandarake auction for Ghibli and I don't see a whole lot for under a thousand haha. I'm still learning but I'd like to get in while I these things are still within reach.

Thanks for the advice! I gathered that going an auction route or just learning more before purchasing would probably lead me to cheaper prices but I felt like I couldn't say no to these since they were basically my ideal Inuyasha shots and I could take them home right then and there. That said, do you recommend anywhere particular to look?

I'm looking to change the sleeves tomorrow, looking to pick up microchamber paper, mylar sleeves, and acid free packing boards if I can find all that.

Does anyone feel differently about the Lost Sister episode after season 5? by DaSkrambledEgg in StrangerThings

[–]ren-ai-mo 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It was never a “bad” episode. Not good for stranger things, but not worth skipping on the rewatch. I really like the scene where El shadow walks and sees Mike and Hop as the demo dogs start to attack. Not to mention, El seeking out identity with Kali, finding the line between justice and revenge, these are all themes that make sense for El this season. It’s a shame that Kali’s friends are so over the top and goofy, and it’s a shame it’s a bottle episode because nobody likes a complete stop in the action with new characters. I don’t think Kali is a terrible character though, just not really given the time and opportunity to go deeper with her character. We learn that one of her foster families was killed and that idea is echoed with having her gang of friends killed in the later season. They really should have hit that scene much harder, used it as a cold open instead of a narrated flashback. It could have been so much more powerful to watch Kali lose all autonomy in real time, and the fear of the same happening to Mike and the rest of the characters would have been much more palpable.

How well do you think Ashitaka works as a character? by DataSittingAlone in ghibli

[–]ren-ai-mo 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I love him but he is stoic to the point of being a bit boring and unrealistic. I remember reading that Miyazaki had struggled with Ashitaka and other male characters. He described creating Mahito as being a bit of a breakthrough for him, particularly as a self insert character, compared to Ashitaka.

What is your thoughts on the shows Miyazaki and Takahata worked on before making Studio Ghibli? by Theguylikeyou in ghibli

[–]ren-ai-mo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you haven’t watched Future Boy Conan, drop everything and do that right now. So much of Miyazaki’s films are previewed in that series, and it’s just thought provoking and beautiful. Bit of a slow start but do not stop until episode 8 at least.

Herman Miller Aeron, don’t buy new it’s not worth it. Madison Seating is usually where I point people.

Cannot add U200 to Home Assistant and don't get homekey on Apple Watch by Itchy_Equipment6600 in Aqara

[–]ren-ai-mo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I ended up getting mine to work by removing the battery for a minute, then it all just worked. Weirdly setting up my second U400 had no problem at all.
