Big thanks to evilminion for these two cute cels!! I haven't pulled out the DVDs to identify the episodes yet. Here' s a slightly irate Leorio. The vein is definitely the best part!
|
|
 
|
Also from evilminion, a great cel of Gon and Leorio! I love the look of determination on Leorio's face. Thanks again!! :)
|
|
|
Isn't it CUUUUTE!?! It's baby Konta, the little cub that Gon rescued in a flashback in episode 1. It got really big really fast, but it was SOOO cute.
|
|
|
Gon and Leorio.
This is a CUTE anime scene! Talk about almost missing the boat! HAH! Poor Leorio. From episode 2. Gon matches the screencap exactly, but Leorio is off by one frame. Oh well.
|
|
|
This is from the "Doki Doki" quiz in episode 4. I just thought it was a nice picture, and not too expensive considering that it's got Kurapica on it. The cel is A1-tome.
|
|

I've been looking for a cel of Leorio from this episode ever since I first started to collect Hunter x Hunter cels. There's still a lot we don't know about him. Unfortunately, with the way the manga and story have evolved, it doesn't seem like we're ever going to find out much more. From episode 7.
|
|
|
This is a cel of Hisoka, the scariest character in the series. Seriously. He's a guy who enjoys killing people for fun, but he's got a "thing" for Gon, the main character. *shudder* Don't know why, but he facinates me. This cel is from episode 8, and is from a scene where he murders the monkey-man. This is the first time we get to see him really stand out.
|
|
|
This is from a very intense moment in episode 8, when Hisoka is in a murdering mood, and Gon has caught his "attention". Freaky.
|
|
|
One of the funny scenes in the series! You can't see in this cel, but Hisoka has a fish in his mouth. He certainly has a unique way of fishing! Episode 9.
|
|
|
Hunter wanna-bes, can't even beat an old man. How pathetic. Better hurry up and learn some ki tricks so you can become rediculously overpowered. ^_- Anyway, Killua and Gon are cute together! From episode 12.
|
|
|
Since they were the first two to arrive at the bottom of the tower, Hisoka and his good friend relax by playing a fun card game. From episode 15. All cels are number 1 (a1, b1, c1, d1), which means that they're not quite aligned right since Hisoka's body came on before his hand and so his the second cel in that sequence would be the correct one to match up with his hand.
|
|
|
Now here is a man who LOVES his job. And assorted snack food (including Pocky!) He's one of the licence examiners, who was in charge of the tower/labyrinth part of the test. From episode 16.
|
|
|
This is a really cool cel, the very first scene of episode 17. Our heroes get stuck in a room for 50 hours while the time they need ticks away. This cel is from the perspective of one of the cameras placed all over to monitor their progress. I created the screencap by combining two images. I LOVE this kind of cel!
|
|
|
This is a BEAUTIFUL setup! It consists of a background (including the deck and the wheel), the book cel with Kurapica, a second background of the front with the windows, and a second cel with airbrushed effects on the windows. It's even more impressive in person, and gives a real sense of depth. It's a cel with a lot of feeling and mood. Episode 19.
|
|
|
I like Leorio. Don't know why. He amuses me. ^_^ This cel is from episode 22, when Leorio is trying to get his number badge back from a couple of rivals. The screencap is slightly off; I couldn't manage to grab the exact cel.
|
|
|
Here is an AWESOME cel of Kurapica. It's from the scene in episode 23 when he and Leorio are confronted by Hisoka during the "tag" game. One of the few times (the first time, IIRC) that Kurapica actually pulls out his swords. Cel is number A1.
|
|
|
This is an equally AWESOME cel of Leorio from the same scene! This is one of the few times in the series when Leorio looks really cool, and deadly serious. This cel is A2-END. What's really strange is that when I was originally watching this episode, during this scene I remember thinking that these two cels were cels that I would really love to have. I never ever imagined I could actually get them!!
|
|
|
This is a freaky cel of Hisoka and Gon from episode 23. Gon had just taken Hisoka's number plate when he was attacked. Hisoka quickly killed the guy who attacked Gon (he was after the number plate himself) and took his hat. Then he gave both his plate and Gon's to Gon, which frustrated Gon because he felt like he hadn't earned them. Anyway, the really freaky part of this scene IMHO is the presence of the blood-red moths hovering around Hisoka's head where he is wearing the dead man's hat. The moths are attracted to the smell of blood. This setup has several cels. Hisoka's mouth was never open when his eye was open in the actual scene, so the cels are slightly mismatched.
|
|
|
This is a wonderful, perfect scene of Killua and Gon. It really shows their relationship well. This is from the beginning of episode 26, when Gon and Killua meet on board the airship after completing the island "tag" part of the license test.
|
|
|
I love cels like this. This is an oversized pan of the photographs being looked over by the Hunter examiners as they considered the remaining candidates while eating melon and custard (purin) in episode 26. I stiched together two screen-caps to make the single picture of the cel.
|
|
|
This is a great backgrounded cel of Kurapica facing Hisoka during the final round of the Hunter license tests. Notice all the other characters watching them! Not only that, but this EXACT setup was used to create the DVD menu for volume 6, episode 27!! All the cels are END or tome cels.
|
|
|
CUTE!!!! I love this cel!! I love the little blush on Kurapica's face! I love the look on Leorio's face! And I love the sideways stare that Killua is giving them! This cel came with the background and douga for both cels (one cel is Leorio/Kurapica, and the other is Killua). It's from episode 29. Leorio got a little enthusiastic. ^_^ It's got the wrong background, but at least it's a background from the same part of the series, so it doesn't look bad at all. The screencap may be off by a cel or so in the sequence, but it's difficult to capture from this scene because a person walks in front of the characters carrying Gon.

I debated getting this cel for a while, but it's so nifty that I finally decided to go for it. It's from the scene in episode 30 when Irumi confronts Killua in person for the first time, and basically tells him to go home. After Irumi threatens to kill Gon, Killua finally pretty much looses it. And then comes this "sweet" brotherly scene, where Irumi affectionately puts his hand on Killua's head and gives him a little brotherly advice. What you can't see here is the look of abject terror and sweat on Killua's face. Whooo. Very stressful. I love it!!
|

This is an AWSOME cel of an interesting character! This is Irumi, Killua's older brother. Doesn't he have great eyes? Gotta love that permanently dilated look. Did I mention that like the rest of Killua's family, he's a professional killer? He seems to be one of the only people who doesn't mind hanging out with Hisoka. This cel is from episode 31, right after he's wiped the trickle of blood away from his mouth. His hand is on a seperate cel, and isn't stuck (which is good because I like the cel better without the hand anyway!). In fact, when I did screencaps, I found out that the hand doesn't exactly match with this cel anyway. I got this from Anime Taro.

This is from the party in episode 31. Muwncthe (pronounced Mench) posed while Hanzou snapped pictures. I think she was pretty drunk. :-P
|
|
|
Hanzou the pervert! Here's another cel from the same part of the episode. This was like a series of freeze-frames, so there really wasn't any movement to animate.
|
|
|
This is my first backgrounded HxH cel. It's Leorio and Kurapica from episode 31. I especially like it because Leorio doesn't look like a doofus. And they are cute together. The background is uncut, and the cel came with douga and genga (see below). The two of them were supposed to be talking at the same time, so the cels are slightly mismatched (Kurapica's mouth is open, Leorio's is closed).
|
|
|
This is the layout/genga for the cel above. It's not a photocopy. The dark lines are drawn in a magic marker. But I really like the pencil illustrations. I love the look on Leorio's face (it's a cute smile, a little hard to see on the scan). The screencap is the approximate scene that matches the genga.
|
|
|
This is a cel of Kurapica and Leorio from episode 34. They had just gotton thrown backward by Kanaria. But then Gon made it clear that he was going to make it past her himself, so they agreed to sit this one out. This cel came with a lovely matching background, genga, and douga.
|
|
|
This is the genga that came with the cel above. Kurapica has his eyes closed in the genga. It's really beautiful, though, with a really detailed background.
|
|
|
Kanaria is one really tough lady. She kicked Gon's butt in episode 34 without even breaking a sweat. But she's actually really a nice person. Her one weakness is that she cares a lot about Killua. Isn't that sweet? Look at all the flying blood, and Gon flying backward. And she just looks bored.
|
|
|
This is a really cute cel from the beginning of episode 46. Gon and Killua just got off the boat, and the captain threw them some apples. I just like the wonderful, happy expressions on their faces. Bought from Anime Chaos.
|
|
|
This is a wonderful (and inexpensive!) action shot of Kurapica from the beginning of episode 49 (used again at the beginning of episode 50!)
|
|
|
In this cel, Kurapica is "dowsing" to for the truth, so to speak. The hand cel doesn't match with the head and body, but it still looks okay. I just wish the sleeve was in the right spot. This is a cel from episode 49. Cool chain though!!
|
|
|
Gon and Killua needed money, so Leorio came up with a great scam! After all, what kind of man couldn't beat a scrawny little kid like Gon at arm wrestling? But what happens when the comeptitor is Shizuku, one of the Ryodan assasins? This cel was a surprise! It's composed of several layers, and each set of character layers is backed by a cel with a shadow, effectively separating it from the other cels. So none of the characters are actually stuck together! It's also an oversize image. I only wish I had the background! Then it would be perfect. All cels are numbered 1 in the sequence, episode 51.
|
|
|
What a cool cel! This is a cel of a leaflet featuring the images of many of the Ryodan assasins. It's not the higher-quality pan cel version of the leaflet, but it's still cool, and makes sort of a neat thing to compare to the photograph cel above. From the very beginning of episode 56.
|
|
|
This is Quoll, the leader of the Ryodan assasin group. He's really pretty damn cool. I just love the atmosphere of this cel! It's from episode 61 (the second-to-last episode of the tv series). I only wish you could see the book in his hand.

These are some bookmarks that I bought from Zero in Tokyo. They had taken some of the low-quality cels and cut them into bookmarks. Since they were inexpensive, I bought a few. Since I may not buy any other cels of some of these characters, I figured I would include these cels here. From left-to-right, the cels are Killua, Zushi, Wing, Killua's father, and Killua's grandfather (I'm SO bad at remembering their names!).
|
|
 
|
Here are some more bookmarks. I love the expression on the Irumi cels! And I love the mood of the Kanaria cel. From left-to-right, Killua and Gon, Irumi, Kanaria, Irumi, and Leorio.
|

|
I got a couple more bookmarks.
