If you're thinking of gifting an art book as a present for this holiday season, I have some 867 ideas for you 🎄🎅- https://t.co/mP70WhBSND For starters, I think Hayao Miyazaki's Shuna's Journey would make an amazing gift - https://t.co/Sce42HTbP7
I was lucky to post a few questions to the director earlier this year during a Q&A for the film - https://t.co/zJjrTmXxs4 And also check out the visual guide book with character designs/concept art for the film by PingPong manga artist Taiyo Matsumoto - https://t.co/IbmUyr460L
Perfect timing since I'm also currently writing the review for the art/making of book; will be up soon. Get a copy here - https://t.co/mosZbggxFj
And if you're not a fan of John Howe, you're missing out ! - https://t.co/ihYMn5qdLi
Storyboards from Shin Ultraman are showcased in the Shinji Higuchi Special Effects Field Notes book 樋口真嗣特撮野帳. My review coming soon. Get a copy here - https://t.co/hwOFb5XU5R If you need help ordering from Amazon Japan go here - https://t.co/zKJUmU0iIt

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.
