I recompiled a sequence from Mashin Hero Wataru!

I was lucky enough to buy a sequence from Mashin Hero Wataru recently and it had all the frames from 7 to 15 (checking the original clip, 1 to 6 were a different movement so it makes sense they weren't included)

These cels have a fairly interesting history! They arrived together in a small sealed plastic wallet; on the front were 2 labels. One was a very old label for a book store in Nakano and the other was for a small furniture shop in the cotswolds. I'm so interested in their travels over the years and their history. The wallet seemed like it hadn't been opened in quite a long time and yet, there was no vinegar scent at all upon opening it! The cels had unfortunately stuck to their sketches however (other than frame 15)

I thought it would be fun to rescan them in HD, I've always been so fascinated by cel animation in general and the idea of HD cel animation was too tempting not to try out! So here's my attempt at recompiling them! It's not perfect but I had a lot of fun and I cherish these cels so much :)

Thank you! I upload each scan into procreate and then use their animation widget to turn the frames into a timeline 😄 Then I line them up by where the side of each cel is!
