Essential For Storyboard Artists & Film Lovers Alike
A brand new expansive collection of books of the complete works of Katsuhiro Otomo has been released in Japan, which spans his works across Manga and Anime. Volumes 21 & 22 collect together the Storyboards for his iconic film, AKIRA (1988). I ordered both and they arrived very quickly from Japan (to the UK) in excellent brand-new condition. They are paperback, with a plastic sleeve that offers both protection and style. One of my favourite films and based off the manga by Otomo himself, the Storyboards were originally published in a two volume set back around the time of the films original release. However, they were incredibly hard to come by, other than really expensive second hand copies that would pop-up on eBay, as they were never republished since. However, now these new editions have been released so I'm happy. There are other volumes available in this new series of Otomo's work, that feature further artwork from AKIRA, such as the animation layouts and the script too. 'Art of' books don't tend to feature many Storyboards at all anymore, though some films do release Storyboard specific volumes on the odd occasion (Blade Runner 2049, for example). The Studio Ghibli art of books don't contain any Storyboard art at all, instead, you have to find the Storyboard specific books that are only available from Japan.

Great book, fast shipping from Japan to America. I loved seeing Otomos story boards. It's like being inside his mind.
