When anime shows are produced digitally, it makes collecting production art really difficult. Digital production = no cels. No cels = no production art to collect. That's where gengas come in. These are the preproduction sketches. They're typically less expensive than cels because they're pencil sketches on paper, which makes them a lot less durable. Often, they don't even survive the production process.

I was just fortunate enough to get my hands on two genga from Last Exile. Cut to save the friends list.





Range Murata character designs for those who are interested.

Gorgeous. I really do love Murata's work for this series, particularly the clothing.
