Anime Architecture: Imagined Worlds and Endless Megacities

IMPORTANT: I was able to buy this book here on January 31st, 2021 even though it has not been available since early December. I had signed up to receive a notification when the product is available but I never received one. I checked the product page periodically and on 01-31-21 I saw that copies had been made available. Without hesitation I purchased a copy and at that time there were 15 copies still available. Less than 10 minutes later, all of the available copies were sold. The moral of the story is, keep checking the product page. -I'm very happy that recently several books, in English, have been published highlighting what is often the unsung hero of animation, background artwork. The author puts his focus on the near future, often dystopian, metropolis backgrounds, which I personally find to be more beautiful than those produced by Hayao Miyazaki and Studio Ghibli (I know, it's sacrilegious to say however, I do still love Miyazaki's works). This book is a must have for any fan of Anime and animation in general. Beautifully put together and beautifully researched. I'm very, very happy to have this in my collection.

Good book if you are a Stewart for architecture and anime

Really cool book go flip through! Print quality was amazing, tons and tons of pages.

The book arrived on time and in great condition. It was boxed in a way that the book was protected. It was in brand new wrapping and condition. I’m very very happy with this book and the seller who sent it. Thank you very much.

While I've never seen any of these animes, I was intrigued of the book because some artists I follow on Twitter recommended it and landscape/cityscape was never something I was good at drawing. In reading this book and looking at the photos, it gave me a new perspective on how I can frame my scenes and use my own photography as practice for drawing. A lot of these images, were shot on 35mm film and I shoot on film, so in reading this book, I learned how I could utilize my own photos the same way the creators used theirs to create their fictional world. Even the most simple of things, like a electric meter, can give the creators inspiration which was beyond me. Definitely recommend and love how it's not text heavy.

This was a gift so I was a tad worried when the sticker didn’t come off cleanly. However with some rubbing alcohol (nail polish remover) it looked great.

So cool!

Llegó en perfectas condiciones, si eres aficionado del anime y te gusta la arquitectura o el 2d-3d te va a encantar este libro. Tiene muchos textos explicativos que hablan de todo el trabajo detrás de la creación de un montón de animes icónicos. Recomendadísimo, ayuda mucho para referentes de proyectos.

Eğer anime izleyicisi iseniz ve mimari ile ilgileniyorsanız bu kitabı kütüphanenizde mutlaka bulundurmalısınız. Kitapta animelerde kullanılan detaylı arkaplanların konsept çizimleri ve renklendirilmiş versiyonları ile birlikte bu çizimlere ilham veren şehir manzaraları ve referans fotoğrafları da bulunuyor. İllüstratörler ve mimarlar için bir cevher.

Me llegó antes de la fecha, está en muy buen estado, me encantoo lo recomiendo

The print, thr contents, the book material all is absolutely upto the mark, but the cover was witha slight torn. Of course that doesn't take away from the product but something that should be noted by the seller.

If you really like the anime or manga for the art style you will love this. Great for a gift or just to have on your shelf after reading. I find myself picking this up and reading every year

Edição maravilhosa e super bem acabada
