If you're looking for something more premium, go for the Japanese 2 volume hardcover deluxe edition, with a bigger print size and higher quality paper stock. Very pretty reproductions 風の谷のナウシカ 豪華装幀本 (上巻/下巻) - https://t.co/qbGwNKTGn7
Character model sheets by the inimitable Tatsuyuki Tanaka for Katsuhiro Otomo's #anime adaptation of his manga Farewell To Weapons. These and more found in the deluxe sized manga/artbook 武器よさらば #大友克洋 原稿サイズ 大型本 漫画 - https://t.co/2a78AVqjHu #artbook #田中達之
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
