Original, one-of-a-kind production anime cel used for the making of the 1991 Japanese animated science fiction action comedy thriller written by Katsuhiro Otomo (Akira), directed by Hiroyuki Kitakubo (Robot Carnival, Golden Boy, Blood: The Last Vampire), and art directed by Satoshi Kon (Perfect Blue). Roujin Z is set in early 21st century Japan and focuses on the Z-001: a computerized hospital bed with robotic features. It won the 1991 Mainichi Film Award for Animation. It was praised by Roger Ebert, listed in the book 500 Essential Anime, and named one of the best-animated comedies of all time by Anime Insider, and one of the top 50 anime films ever released in North America.
 
Beautiful close-up image of Haruko in monotone. At this scene she directs Maeda to drive her, Mr. Takazawa, and Mr. Terada to the beach while they are inside a tunnel. This B3 cel comes with an unstuck matching douga, non-matching copy background, and a certificate of authenticity. The cel has some minor traceline fade and scratches on the surface as expected in cels of this vintage. A few specks of paint are missing from some tracelines. The image size is 6.75 inches by 7 inches. The overall size is 10 inches by 12 inches. Art comes protected for shipping in a fresh polypropylene bag.
