I would highly appreciate it if someone explain to me what is so special about thes Lithographs (and Lithographs in general).
Isn't this just a small poster with a big price tag on it? Don't get me wrong, I love Angel Beats! but just never understood the redeeming qualities of Right Stuf's Lithographs.

If this lithograph were signed by the cast, then it would be worthwhile to me, but an unsigned lithograph is just an expensive mini-poster to me.

I'm saddened that RightStuf seems to have stopped selling signed lithographs for newer titles. For some actors (eg:R Bruce Eliot) buying the signed litho is the only real way to get an autograph.

I can't explain what is special about the lithographs, as I only buy them for the signatures; the lithographs themselves aren't special to me.

Poster? Not even close. They are printed on special, archival quality, paper. Paper that does not yellow with age. The manufacturing is not terribly cheap either, lasers and all that. Lithograph's are supposed to be framed, not just slapped on a wall.

I am such a huge, huge, huge fan of Angel Beats!. I'm glad these two were chosen. Those are some huge price tags though... I would be pretty content with a larger poster of the art.

For a lithograph, 37$ is not a huge price tag. You should see some others if you think that's expensive.

Thank you for the explanation. Although I still believe a poster will also not yellow with age if framed. The colours might fade though...
I voted for both of these lithographs so I'm happy they won. The one with Yuri and Angel with their backs to each other looks like a true winner.

Yeah, that was about my opinion of the Angel Beats! series. Didn't like it, didn't hate it, but I was more negative than positive about it...

It's great that TRSI is producing these for various series, although they have yet to make one that I want to own...

I felt there wasn't enough substance to Angel Beats. It's like they scripted out 2cours worth of episodes, and just pulled half the episodes from those scripts for the 13 they used.

There was a lot of abrupt flow changes between various episodes, a lot of plot threads left dangling, etc.
