John’s Oddities: Signed on Heaven’s Door

I’ll be the first person to admit that my collection of anime merchandise & memorabilia is neither the largest nor the most valuable. I collect what I like (when I can afford to) and have a particular fondness for unusual and novel items. These items aren’t necessarily rare or valuable; they’re just odd and unexpected, from a non-Japanese perspective. I’ll share some of them, one per day, in case anyone else finds these collectors’ items fascinating.

This Cowboy Bebop movie poster is signed by director Shinichiro Watanabe, character designer Toshihiro Kawamoto, and soundtrack composer Yoko Kanno. The poster was delivered to me as a “thank you” gift from Sony Pictures for helping publicize the American theatrical release of the movie.
