This only volume out of the 6 I got (n. 1-2-3-4-5-8) didn’t have the sticker inside, which is not terrible, but in the same time I would have preferred to have it like for the other volumes. Other than that, the experience has been the same:
The delivery to Germany was really fast and the package was here in 5 days. All volumes were in perfect conditions.
The size and the quality is good and I’m looking forward to complete this series of a great author Otomo. Looking forward to have a translated version too here in Europe
I don’t know who’s fault is this but I received three books repeated. I check my order and just order one of each but instead I got three more. I do’n know if I have to return them or what
Books arrived safely and fast to Germany. I was a little bit unsure which books I order because I hardly could find pictures of the inside of the books.
Dokurujin is an explosion of colour and very expressive.
More photos from the inside of the book would be helpful 🙂
It’s a good book to learn how background are made. I love the technique on walls and floor which are very difficult in drawing texture. The step by step is help to build your skills.
I am kind of mixed on these Akira books from the new Otomo complete works. there is a lot of fluff in the books, that said this one was pretty inventive and creative. They did a cool combination of sections of flip books to show how the drawings move, process shots, background layouts and layered cel reproductions to create a more unique presentation of the process of making the movie.
Book arrived in perfect condition and fast. Book price is fair but shipping tax is a bit expensive for my country (Mexico). But I might return for another purchase soon.
The bookstore has a nice selection for artists for inspiration and reference. Here’s hoping they expand their selection in the future, I’d like to see more learning materials for anime and animation.
its an amazing collection of characters and graphic design used in the japanese market, quite cool to see the differences between countries in certain brands (México or USA). specially cool for designers.
Very happy to see lots of stunning background images. Avoid this book if you want to see lots of character images as you will only see a small picture of Hodaka and Hina near the end of the book. Can’t read any of the Japanese text, but this didn’t matter to me. Previously purchased The Art of Makoto Shinkai: A Sky Longing for Memories with English text, which already went into great detail about art production. The thin slipcase is flimsy, but still keeps the book straight in the bookshelf. Surprisingly quick delivery from Japanese Creative Bookstore. Very impressed with their service.
