AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
From: City Hunter – Ending Theme #3
This piece is an authentic original one-of-a-kind Japanese animation cel, hand-painted by studio artists at Sunrise Studios and used directly in the creation of the anime City Hunter.
As an original production material, this artwork is unique, with no duplicates in existence.
Created for internal studio use under the direction of Sunrise Studios during the original broadcast production period of City Hunter.
A Certificate of Authenticity will be included with your purchase.
This original animation cel features Ryo Saeba, the iconic protagonist of City Hunter, depicted in a stylish and restrained pose used for the series’ third ending sequence. Ending-theme cels are particularly desirable among collectors, as they often showcase unique artwork created specifically for title and ending animations rather than reused episode cuts.
This item is presented interleaved with MicroChamber paper, an archival material used to protect artwork by reducing harmful acids and paint fumes which damage animation cels over time. We are currently the only seller in Japan offering anime cels presented in this manner.
Please note that this is a vintage item. Despite careful storage, age-appropriate wear or other minor imperfections may be present. Buyers are encouraged to examine all images carefully prior to bidding.
Medium:
Original animation cel (ink and acrylic paint on celluloid)
Original genga (pencil on paper)
This item is offered unframed by default. Framing is available upon request for an additional fee.
Artwork Size:
Cel: 26.2 × 22.7 cm
Genga: 27.2 × 23.1 cm
Size with frame: 41 × 30.5 × 1.5 cm
Condition: Excellent
(Both the animation cel and genga are in great condition. The genga shows small dots of paint transferred from being stored together with the cel. No warping or other noticeable defects are present.)

1 original hand-painted animation cel
1 original genga drawing
Shipping:
Your item will be shipped protected in a hard clear case to avoid any bending.

Seller's Story
Japanime Art Gallery is a Japan-based art gallery specializing in authentic anime and manga production art and historically significant collectibles.
We primarily curate original animation cels, original drawings, and production materials created during the golden era of hand-drawn Japanese animation, from the 1970s to the 1990s. In addition, we carefully select rare posters, official reproduction artworks, reproduction manuscripts, and related materials that represent the history and cultural context of anime and manga.
All works offered by Japanime Art Gallery are selected based on our independent curatorial standards, with a strong emphasis on authenticity, historical background, cultural significance, and preservation condition. Even when offering reproduction works, we only handle officially produced, exhibition-related, or limited-distribution items that hold genuine collectable value.
Our mission is not simply to sell artworks, but to elevate anime and manga art as a recognized and respected category within the global art market, and to preserve and pass on its cultural value to future generations.
We see ourselves as long-term custodians of anime and manga art, responsible for preserving, contextualizing, and introducing these works to the world as cultural and artistic assets.
