I have a +100 cel backlog that I need to catalog and photograph. Was planning to do it this holiday season so check back in.

I... actually remember that address floating around and it indeed was hentai.

We're talking like 20 years back. Holy shit, my brain is getting jostled by this sudden tsunami of forgotten memories.

EDIT: Digging around on Wayback Machine (obviously NSFW, for the curious), apparently it was actually still around until somewhere between 2018 and '19 when it finally died. The snapshots from around 2007 are peak Web 1.5 design with stuff like affiliate buttons and table layouts. Man I miss that era.

It is also blocked by the UK ISP porn filter.

Does that still exist? I got a decent ISP (Zen) so they don't block anything.

Ah great! Such nostalgia for that site, they had the -best- porn back in the old days, one of my favorite pron sites.

You have some awesome cells, thanks for sharing them online. Had completely forgotten about Robot Carnival and neat to see you have a few pieces from some of the shorts(episodes?)

Also the resources->galleries was useful, found some new but actually old sites to check out.

I love RC and many of my wishlist items are from it. I regret I was relatively late into collecting it. Glad you appreciate the old galleries, many are internet relics which I love.

Great domain name! I can see why you went through the effort of contacting all the web filters.

Did you get anything from the Heritage auction last week? They had a ton of good stuff.

I watched closely and bid on a few but didn’t pull trigger. I am eyeing a few private pieces and saving my budget.

Where does one buy cells, apart from ebay?

There's actually a page on their site under resources for that: https://www.neotokyo.com/anime-cel-dealers-and-resources

Yahoo Auctions is more popular over there and proxy services (I use Buyee) make it pretty simple bid/buy and not too much more expensive if you wait for their (Buyee) coupons.
