Out of print for the longest time, the Otomo Complete Works bring back Katsuhiro Otomo's amazing storyboard book (vol 1) for his magnum opus AKIRA in this new edition. Highly, highly recommended. See more in my review - https://t.co/fQfcx352mh #大友克洋全集 #blauereview
Otomo's original storyboard drawings for the iconic Kaneda bike drift shot that has sparked numerous tributes in dozens of other animation films -
A new genga ( key animation drawings ) art book (vol 1) for Evangelion: 3.0+1.0 Thrice Upon a Time will be out in May. If it's anything like the previous titles I've reviewed, it should be amazing シン・エヴァンゲリオン劇場版アニメーション原画集 上巻 - https://t.co/bxyqeKRoI3
In this memorable shot in Akira, Kaneda springboards off the front fender of a bike and kicks an unfortunate Clown in the face, beautiful boarded by Otomo himself. See this and more in my review for the new edition of the storyboard book ( vol 1 ) - https://t.co/fQfcx352mh
"Turn up the volume !" This dynamic sequence where Kaneda attempts to rescue Tetsuo while riding the armed flying platform with Kay is one of my favorites in the film. See more detailed boards like this in my review for the new storyboard book ( vol 1 ) - https://t.co/fQfcx352mh

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.
