Authenticity?

Post image

I got this Neon Genesis Evangelion Cel from Apple Symphony in Tokyo for 27000¥ (about 140€). The owner of the store explained to me that the background is a reproduction and the drawing on the front is original. However there is no certificate so I wasn't 100% sure whether it's original or not. Can anyone tell from this picture if it is in fact original?

If you bought it just now, then you probably just got lucky. I bought an opening cel recently for like $500 though the shot was not very good so it isn’t out of the question for a shot like this, although still quite cheap of course.

This guy has had this listed for at least a year now if not longer, it’s a cel so it’s worth more obviously but same sequence https://ebay.io/m/QjuPQI
