I've recently come into quite a few "genga" sets. These drawings contain some amazing and cute sequences! I've scanned a few of the best drawings from each sequence! The first few drawings I only scanned a single sheet from each set. The following sequences are separated into individual tables.
|
This is a cute drawing of Doi-sensei and the three kids with a cart full of packages. Look at all the pretty colors! I'm sure I've seen this episode - I need to go back and figure out which one it was.
|
|
This is a nice drawing of Rantarou.
|
|
And a nice drawing of Shinbei.
|
|
Shinbei is trying, in his own way, to understand a concept that someone else has explained to him.
|
|
Another Shinbei, similar to the one above.
|
|
Rantarou and Kirimaru look a little shocked. I scanned the yellow correction layer instead of the main drawing because it looks better.
|
|
Evil Dokutake ninja leader Hieta Happousai and his lackys have surrounded Rantarou and Kirimaru! This is the "A1" layer of the sequence.
|
|
And this is the B1 that goes with the drawing above!
|
|
Remembering that they are armed, Rantarou and Kirimaru whip out their swords and prepare to defend themselves!
|
|
And in the A2 End layer, Happousai's men move in.
|
|
The Dokutake ninja show how not-threatened they are and beat up the two kids. Poor Rantarou and Kirimaru!
|
|
Orin, Doi-sensei, and Castella the Portuguese merchant watch as...
|
|
Rantarou, Kirimaru, and Shinbei walk by. I actually have a complete rough set of the walking motion of the three kids, and it's really cool to flip through them.
|
|
This is an amazing set of drawings! Rantarou has to fight a ninja while dressed in a tanuki costume. Another episode I know I've seen!
|
|
This sequence starts with Rantarou in a tanuki suit. Behind him he notices...
|
|
Kirimaru with a paper knife and ...
|
|
Shinbei, who reaches up toward the knife. Whatever they were talking about must have annoyed Rantarou because...
|
|
Rantaoru runs back and starts yelling at them, and...
|
|
Kirimaru and Shinbei cower in fear of the wrath of Rantarou.
|
|
Rantarou and Shinbei run along together. Rantarou's still wearing the tanuki suit.
|
|
Right behind them is Kirimaru. Somebody must have said the magic word because...
|
|
Kirimaru gets all excited at the thought of money!
|
|
From the same episode as the one above. Rantarou face down as Happousai's hand pulls him up.
|
|
As the costume goes up, it gets all wavy and weird. I think this drawing is pretty spooky looking. Woooo.
|
|
And Rantarou's mouth is full of candy sticks. Kind of disturbing, isn't it?
|
|
This are three cute drawings in a sequence. First, a very typical looking, but very nice drawing of the threesome.
|
|
They all open their mouths to say something.
|
|
Let's all stare at Rantarou! This is another where the yellow correction layer is much nicer than the original drawing.
|
|
This is a really cute scene with some really nicely colored drawings! First, Rantarou is running...
|
|
then he stops short...
|
|
And in the final cel he's staring at something in shock!
|
|
Kirimaru is right behind Rantarou...
|
|
comes running up behind him...
|
|
And he also falls over with a shocked expression!
|
|
One cel behind the other in the sequence, Mr. Castella enteres the scene...
|
|
And Castella is shocked too!
|
|
This is a pile of mikans (Japanese oranges) that Obachan gave to Gakuenchou. This was a tome cel in front of the action...
|
|
Hemuhemu stuffs his face with mikans until...
|
|
Gakuenchou-sensei's face appears and screams at him. In the complete sequence Hemuhemu cowers in fear and then falls off the side of the frame. I know I've seen this episode too!
