Miscellaneous
Other anime things that I have. A lot of this I got in Japan. Like the manga section, this is probably extremely uninteristing, especially since I don't have any scans of them in yet (it mostly serves as a private inventory.) Also I guess it can give you an idea of what kind of stuff is out there (if you don't already know.)
Artbooks
X Perfect Book: This artbook is really pretty with lots of character designs and even has real life pictures of the buildings destroyed in the movie.
Please Save my Earth Artbook: This hardcover artbook has a lot of paintings in it. It is pretty full of actual artwork, and has some really pretty artwork at that.
A CLAMP Campus Detectives Artbook: This artbook looks really cute on the outside, but I was dissappointed, because it is mostly black and white text with few pictures. It does have some punch out playing cards in the back, but only w/ 3 pictures.
Magic Knights Rayearth Artbook 1: This is a pretty MKR artbook with art mostly from early in the series.
WeiB Kreuz Gakkun Mook: This has some really pretty art of the WeiB Boys in it. I'm not huge on the series, but I do like some of the character designs.
Trigun Art Book by Roman Album: This is a pretty spiff Artbook, but a lot of it is black and white interviews in Japanese with the creators. It does have some really nice color images and character designs which makes it well worth it.
Orphen Dragon Magazine Collection: This is one of my favorite artbooks of Orphen that I've seen beause it has a lot of art in it. This has character features and goes through the first like 15 eps of the series.
Mononoke Hime Hardcover Film Books 1 and 2: This book appears to be a summary of the first half of the movie with full color pictures from the film itself. It's not done manga-style with word bubbles, but more like an illustrated children's book with a half page picture and then large text. I have heard that these books contain the entire script to the movie.
Master of Mosquiton '99 Dragon Magazine Collection: I really like Mosquiton, and so picked up the artbook. It has several color pics from the show and then character sketches.
Memories of Memories: This book is a really nice artbook that has both beautiful concept sketches, screen caps, and information about the anime Memories.
This is Animation Shoujo Kakumei Utena: The first Utena artbook, with Utena on the cover covered by strategically placed hair. It covers the series up through the black rose duels with sections for each character.
Art of Utena: I think this is the second Utena artbook with the cover in several shades of red- the slip cover somewhat transparent over a maroon and white drawing underneath. It has lots of pictures of the artwork for the backgrounds and the concept sketches from cels, then is a full color section with lots of different character art- some movie-versions.
Newtype Illustrated Collection for the Utena Movie: Even though I have yet to see the movie, I really wanted the artbook (and so refuse to let myself look too closely at it until I've seen it- which hopefully will be SOON! I missed my opportunity at A-Kon because it was showing during the cosplay *grrrr* Anyway- it has a lot of nice art and character sketches, but can get somewhat ecchi...
Newtype Collection for Cowboy Bebop The After This is a really pretty artbook with lots of still shots of the characters, some freeze frames from the series, character designs, and a section which lists all the merchandice for the show. It's a really nice artbook with some gorgeous pictures.
Cowboy Bebop Characters Collection from Gakken Mook This is another Cowboy Bebop artbook but the images are more screenshots from the series than unique drawings, it has some really cute and characteristic pictures, though, with a section for each of the main characters. Also, they have an interview with photos with the seiyuu for Spike and Faye and then a short section of character designs.
That Kenshin artbook that is everywhere: Even though it is extremely common, it is a nice artbook with images from throughout the series, random artwork and even some OAV art, which I think is beautiful.
The 3 Kenshin filmbooks: These are cool because they have nice artwork from all of the episodes, character designs, and pictures of the voice actors. The third one covers the movie.
Kenshin Hiden and Kenshin Kaden: These are mostly manga summaries, but do have some color images in the front and backs of them. Kenshin Kaden is really neat because in the end they have a story that takes place after the last manga- In color! It shows what happens to more of the characters.
Twin Signal book 2: This is a book that contains all sorts of random things about Twin Signal: stickers in the front, character designs, information, interviews, a short manga strip, and art.
Mahou Tsukai Tai TV & OAV Fanbook: This, like the Twin Sig book, contains all sorts of random things. It has about 40 pages of color plates, but the rest is black and white things like interviews and character designs.
Escaflowne: Memory of Gaia: A beautiful Escaflowne arbook with a section on each of the characters, character designs, vehicle designs, and other pretty things of the like.
Orphen Dragon Magazine Special: Successor of Razor Edge This is a beautiful artbook filled with manga-style paintings, which are in my opinion, much better than the anime style ones.
Final Fantasy 9 Visual Arts Collection: This hardcover book has awesome CG pictures of all the characters in the front, and then beautiful color character designs by Yoshitaka Amano in the back, then some vehicle designs and screen caps from some of the FMVs.
Cowboy Bebop: Jazz Messengers: This is yet another spiffy Cowboy Bebop artbook with awesome drawings of the characters, but dosn't have too much more than the other arbooks did.
NewTylor- Captain Tylor Newtype Book This is a cute and good artbook, as newtype generally does a good job, for Captain Tylor. It has lots of good pics of the characters and screen caps.
Tenchi Muyo: Ryo Ohki part 2: I figured I needed at least one Tenchi Muyo artbook just because, and this was a good pick. It has a lot of really cute and good drawings as opposed to screen caps, and focuses on Ryo Ohki =^_^=
Visual Experiments Lain: While not an amazing artbook because it dosn't have very much original artwork, it still is a good example of Lain. Most of it is small images from the series with character designs and some interviews in the back.
Tokyo Babylon Photographs: Once again, a gorgeous CLAMP artbook with very artsy paintings of the Tokyo Babylon characters.
Magic Knights Rayearth Illustrations Collection: Another beautiful CLAMP artbook that has art much like the covers and color plates from the Magic Knights Rayearth manga and then some.
Newtype Escaflowne Movie Artbook- A really pretty artbook with lots of gorgeous screen caps from the movie and character designs. It has a section in the back comparing character designs from the movie via the TV series.
Cheerio vols. 1 - 3 These Card Captor Sakura artbooks are incedibly cute with wonderful artwork. I'm a sucker for CLAMP, and as so couldn't resist picking these up from Planet Anime when I saw them.
Card Captor Sakura manga artbooks vols. 1 - 3 My new acquisitions from A-kon. Once again, wonderfully cute CLAMP artwork.
RG Veda Illustrations Collection- This is an absolutely beautiful hardbound artbook for CLAMP's RG Veda series.
