The Art of Princess Mononoke

Awesome book. I want more.

This is one of a series of books related to the films of Hayao Miyazaki, put out by his Studio Ghibli, each of which presents a combination of finished cel art, storyboard drawings, background art, and concept-art sketches from one Miyazaki movie. In this volume, the art is arranged in a way that takes viewers through the story step by step, which is useful because the book doesn’t contain a copy of the script, as some of the other books in the series do. It does, however, contain an afterword about the studio’s then-new use of computer graphics and digital compositing. As with all Miyazaki films, the visuals in Princess Mononoke are gorgeous, and the book is well worth having for that fact alone. I found it especially useful, though, because (to my mind, anyway) the story in Princess Mononoke is more complex and confusing than that in most other Miyazaki movies, and the text of the book helped me understand the relationship among the characters and mythic elements better than I had when watching the movie. I recommend this book, and the others in the series, to all lovers of Miyazaki films, anime, and fantasy art.

Came on time and arrived well. It only had a few dents in the bottom corner of the binder but everything else was in good quality.

como todos los libros de studio ghibli es fantastico y precioso
