This book is the first volume of a three-volume compilation of the enormous amount of layouts, original drawings, and revisions used in the production of the film version of “AKIRA” that were drawn by the original author and director Katsuhiro Otomo himself.

>>> There are also reasonable set products!

A layout is a blueprint for creating an animated film, in which the necessary information is drawn for each of the scenes that make up the full-length animation. In addition to the original drawings and layouts of “Part A and the beginning of Part B” of the four parts A, B, C, and D that make up the entire film, this volume also includes valuable reproduction celluloid drawings of many famous scenes that were created based on these drawings.

One of the reasons why this work has rewritten the history of animation films and continues to fascinate the world to this day is the “amazing motion.” Following the two previously published “Animation AKIRA Storyboards” books, this volume reveals in detail the production process of this still cutting-edge expression. The book is a collection of storyboards that details the production process of the cutting-edge expressions.

The film version of “AKIRA” was created through a thorough process in which the “layout,” which depicts the backgrounds and character movements for each cut based on the art settings, was directed and revised by the animation director, art director, and even director Otomo himself. The sheer quality of the uncompromising screen production can be experienced by simply flipping through the pages, one by one, and from the scenes that move sequentially one by one.

Almost the entire book is printed in color and contains numerous reproductions of celluloid pictures, for a total of 650 pages, making it a book of unparalleled construction.

    I’m a 2D animator and this book is amazing, it’s ery well made with a ton of layouts. The frames that simulate old celluloid are a very nice touch with multiple layers. A must buy for fans and artists.

    Attention pour les Français attention aux arnaques. FedEx m’a envoyé un mail car mon colis était soit disant bloqué 2 jours avant la livraison, et qu’il fallait payer 22 euros de douanes.

    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.
