Still with the release of DQVIII we can hope that we get the anime at some point.

That's a pretty cool cel, I'm tempted to try getting a few at some point but it's such an expensive hobby!
Yeah, it is an expensive hobby from what I have seen, and I defidently will not be able to get too far into it. The cel above of Abel actually came to me pretty cheaply because I found a fantastic seller. She even, when finding out that Abel was my first purchase, sent a burned data cd with the first two episodes (or "levels" as the anime liked to call them) on it.

You should go for it! The advice I got going into it was start with an inexpensive price range (for me, $50 was my absolute ceiling), but stay picky. That way, from what I have been told, you will get the most for your money and have no regrets. I guess a big problem with cel collectors is that some people suffer from impulse buying, and that is where the habit gets really expensive.
