The layout and genga drawings from the Gainax anime series Nadia : Secret Of Blue Water (1990) are just so gorgeous ? ふしぎの海のナディア アニメーション原画集- https://t.co/wAqXUiAmAo #artbook #illustration #anime
The author also bought us the most excellent Making Of Alien book - https://t.co/4MFS9cxJf9
Mushime To Anime (虫眼とアニ眼) is a collaborative book effort by Miyazaki Hayao and novelist Yoro Takeshi, using two Ghibli films ( Princess Mononoke & Spirited Away ) as a springboard to discuss environmental and ecology issues - https://t.co/dzG66MrYNI #illustration #宮崎駿
Hayao Miyazaki's storyboard book for the (pre)Ghibli animated film Nausicaa #風の谷のナウシカ スタジオジブリ絵コンテ全集 - https://t.co/KE7dGzq3VU #artbook #illustration #anime #Ghibli #storyboard #宮崎駿

Otomo's insanely strong cinematic vision is manifestly clear when you look at how tight his storyboard drawings compare to the finished shots in the film. The storyboard books are a veritable treasure trove on how he composed his shots - https://t.co/5gApwv3uW6
One of the most unintentionally funny Amazon reviews I've ever read was one left for the Ghost In The Shell genga/layout book (2014), where the reviewer commented that it was a "half-a**ed coloring book, most of the drawings are incomplete" 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 - https://t.co/4rXLLv7bUm
Heads up - a 650 pages whopper of an art book will be released on Dec 2nd collecting layouts+genga from Katsuhiro Otomo's AKIRA, as part of Complete Works. This new book will be like a jumbo edition of the Akira Animation Archives (2002 - image below) - https://t.co/qqLsxpNF0n
One of the many reasons why Katsuhiro Otomo's Akira manga is so visually impactful is because of the cinematic framing & composition. Otomo is as much a film director/cinematographer as he is a manga artist - https://t.co/tIhqt3L6gY
Not entirely convinced the storyboards that Otomo drew for Akira are detailed enough, I mean look at this shoddy work... 🤣😂 Just teasing of course ! My review for the storyboard book ( Vol 1 ) is almost done. You can also just grab a copy here - https://t.co/JZIKUt83AV
My treasured ( and very yellowed out ) Akira storyboard books, first published back in 1988. Every frame is a work of art. Also, Kodansha should really consider a reprint of these as they would still sell like hotcakes アキラ絵コンテ集 - https://t.co/ipIjvRp1zO #anime #animation
ICYMI - A whole book dedicated to the detailed concept art sketches by Mitsuo Iso ( Denno Coil ) for anime films like Ghost In The Shell, Magnetic Rose, Roujin Z, Evangelion, MS Gundam & more. See more in my review - https://t.co/EDV5W53Gmu
