I’m happy with the illustrated art books. I generally avoid art books of the anime.

@Guy: I’d chalk it up to that generic anime look, which lacks the distinct richness and elegance of Amano-sensei’s original manga art. (My personal preference leans more towards the manga art.) But as you point out, it’s nice all the same.

It’s alive! It’s alive!!

This is very reminiscent of the last post, less backgrounds and vistas, but the same colour palette. It is nice, it is good looking, but it falls a bit short, it is a bit bland, or rather, generic, y’know?

@phossil: Agreed. I just wish there were more of them out there.

Illustration artbooks are definitely a must have

@Netto: Grab away! Just don’t wait too long – last time I checked a couple of online retailers have already sold out.

While the lack of the manga-style art is somewhat discouraging, I think the anime does itself pretty well. Might want to grab one of these once I’ve got the money for it .
