Own a Rare Piece of Anime History – Original Roujin Z Production Cel
 
Add a slice of sci-fi anime legacy to your collection with this authentic production cel from Roujin Z, the cult 1991 film written by Akira creator Katsuhiro Otomo, directed by Hiroyuki Kitakubo (Robot Carnival, Golden Boy), and featuring art direction by the legendary Satoshi Kon (Perfect Blue).
 
Set in a near-future Japan, Roujin Z tells the story of a robotic hospital bed that becomes a weapon of unintended chaos. The film was a critical hit—winner of the 1991 Mainichi Film Award for Animation, praised by Roger Ebert, and ranked among the 500 Essential Anime. It has also been named one of the top animated comedies by Anime Insider and one of the top 50 anime films in North America.
