Tatsuyuki-san would often impart his deep knowledge of animation regularly in the Kikan S ( 季刊 S ) magazine, and this particular animation piece was covered in this issue - https://t.co/L4qhDSUc0y
You'll get the most out of the book if you read Japanese, but even the images alone are highly illuminating. Here Tatsuyuki-san illustrates how Otomo's fast shutter, realistic style of drawing changed the way action is depicted in manga -
Concept art and model sheets from Katsuhiro Otomo's stunning animated film Memories, adapted from his Magnetic Rose manga. One of my fav animated films of all time - https://t.co/luRjTYBe7k #animation #manga #illustration #conceptart #大友克洋
If you've yet to read the Otomo's collection of short manga stories from his Memories omnibus ( available in English ), I highly recommend it. Magnetic Rose is one of them, of course - https://t.co/40uQUlYHAt
Story board book for Hayao Miyazaki's Kiki's Delivery Service, probably one of my top 3 fav Ghibli films 魔女の宅急便 絵コンテ集 - https://t.co/6LYaze0Ojk #artbook #animation #anime #魔女の宅急便 #絵コンテ集 #ジブリ #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
Hayao Miyazaki's self caricature as a pig riding in a stylish 3 wheeler (L), based on a photo taken by his late mentor, the veteran animator Yasuo Otsuka in 1993 (R). This illustration appeared in the Feb 94 issue of NAVI magazine.
