Well it's easy to tell if a background is
production or a laser copy... but unless you know
what episode the cel is from and check the
background, there's usually no way to know.
Maison Ikkoku cels and backgrounds are nice in
that most of them (especially after the first
season) have epidoe numbers and sequence number
on them. If the numbers match, so does the cel
and background, AND you know what episode to look
for it in. Unfortunately most cels are not so
specific. Matching numbers can sometimes help...
but say something says it's from episode 10...
well how many series out there have an episode 10?
And it migth be from a different sequence. The
only real way to know is to watch the anime and
find your cel, and see if it has te same
background.
