Ships in 1-5 business days: The animated film version of "AKIRA," which premiered in theaters in 1988 and revolutionized not only the world of manga but also the realm of animation.
This book is the second volume of a three-volume collection of the vast amount of layouts and key animation drawings, including corrections, used in its production, all drawn by Katsuhiro Otomo himself, who served as both the original author and director.
Layouts are drawings that contain all the necessary information for each scene that makes up the animated film, serving as the blueprints for animation drawing.
In addition to the key animation drawings and layouts for "Part B (continued from the previous volume) and the beginning of Part C" out of the four parts (A, B, C, and D) that constitute the entire film, this volume also includes valuable reproduced cels of numerous famous scenes created based on these drawings.
Following the two volumes of "Storyboard Collections" published earlier, this book reveals in detail the production process of still avant-garde expressions.
The film version of "AKIRA" was constructed through a meticulous process where "layouts," depicting the backgrounds and character movements for each cut, were instructed and corrected by the animation director, art director, and even director Otomo himself.
The brilliance of its uncompromising visual creation can be experienced simply by flipping through the pages, as scenes unfold in continuous motion one after another.
