Anime Architecture: Imagined Worlds and Endless Megacities

I bought this as a gift so i didn’t have the chance to look through it thoroughly, still from what i manage to see, print quality was great and the content of the book was very interesting.

A beautiful book got me interested in the anime and I purchased a couple movies

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Awesome book if your a fan of classic anime films with those highly detailed city backgrounds! I loved it and take much inspiration from it even when I try to draw cyberpunk metropolis' my self. I would recommend it to anybody.

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.

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.

Sobre a entrega: No começo eu fiquei receoso com a compra, achei que tinha feito mais uma daquelas "sob encomenda" (que eu detesto) sem perceber até pensei em cancelar, mas realmente o envio leva aprox. 3 semanas por ser importado creio eu. Me deram 2 prazos, fiz a compra dia 18 e ficou de ser entregue entre 22 de nov e 23 de dez. Chegou dia 3 de dez! Estou satisfeito. Sobre o produto: Chegou em perfeitas condições, nenhum amassado, nenhum risco ou sujeira. As texturas, qualidade do material, da impressão também são incríveis. Vou começar a ler em breve.

Excellent reference book. Highly recommended
