It's not the prettiest and doesn't come with individual pages that allow you to flip through your collection but I made a DIY cachet style portfolio by buying sheets of corrugated plastic board which I taped together at one edge and attached some strings for a closure.

Example of the board (buy two small ones in the size you need or cut a bigger sheet in half): https://www.homedepot.com/p/Coroplast-48-in-x-96-in-x-0-157-in-White-Corrugated-Plastic-Sheet-CP4896S/205351385

Style of cachet art portfolio I was copying: https://www.amazon.com/Daler-Rowney-Cachet-Classic-Portfolio-471302026/dp/1561520721

I bought my plastic boards from an art store so no idea if they are higher quality/safer for art than ones from a hardware store. This is probably the cheapest storage option though.

Hello to anyone that is interested, I wanted to ask about any genga's from the anime Fate/Extra Last Encore, and for feedback on if something like this is a copy of the originals or if it's something for fans of the anime. The link seems to be scanned though unsure of it exactly. Thank you!

You can buy it from Amazon, you just need to change your wording a bit. If you look for buffered interleaving paper you should find some results.

This is what I've been using:

Take that with a grain of salt though as I'm newer to the community, but I did research it pretty heavily to try and ensure I had the right stuff. I had the same issue as you where I couldn't find MIP-IT anywhere.

Hello. I am sorry, I really don't understand your questions or what your pictures are showing. I don't know what "Buffered" vs. "Unbuffered" means in the context of cels, and I don't know what "glassine" is.

The way I store my sketches/douga/genga is one douga (or genga) in an Itoya portfolio sleeve with a sheet of microchamber paper behind it. I put the microchamber paper in front of my cels (covering them) so that there is no risk of the microchamber paper sticking to the cel.

If you are not storing them in an Itoya binder (or something similar) and are using a clear plastic protective sleeve, then putting that in the very front makes sense.

It is recommended to air out your cels/sketches every 6-12 months.

I use these as a spacer between my cels and backgrounds. The do not have the peg holes but they are just as clear as normal cel sheets.

There's also just the normal animation paper, which you would need before painting any actual cels.

I would recommend starting with something like this instead. A quick Google search shows some sellers charging close to $1 per blank animation cel which seems crazy to me. Plus you would still need the table, paint, brushes, and camera also.

What YouTubers are doing cel animation? I wouldn't mind checking that out.

i found another brand that seems to have the same product called "GoSee". heres a link to an amazon page but you might find the same product elsewhere if this doesn't work.

Good Luck!

As I mentioned in a reply, living in Australia, the term "Microchamber paper' doesn't really pop up much to purchase. Is it known as anything else? I was looking at the listing on Amazon here but I'm not sure if it's the right material.

Hey mate, thanks for responding. I'm going to follow your advice and do the same. Living in Australia, the term "Microchamber paper' doesn't really pop up much to purchase and it's quite pricy to import. Do you know if there are any other terms? I was looking at this listing but I'm not sure if it's the same material.
