| I have bought artbooks for the original To Heart, Sentimental Graffiti (the basis for the Sentimental Journey anime), two for Natsuiro Kiseki, and two for the Atelier series of video games. Additionally, I've gotten artbooks included in premium/preorder special versions of various video games, including Trails of Cold Steel, Atelier Totori, Luminous Arc 2, the 3DS remake of Radiant Historia, among others. |
| Yes, I have Steins;Gate manga, also Gintama and Banana Fish art books. Recently I started to collect Jujutsu Kaisen manga. |

| So i recently went game hunting and here's my pick ups and i'm sure our fellow garden of madness competitor u.g player @beargolfer is going to love no more heroes 3 day 1 edition on one of the pickups i got. And also daily reminder for ya'll to read Kurayami Dance |
Some of the stuff i got for xmas Also @complexities @judevin and @beargolfer are going to love this haul i got too on the top with the smt/persona stuff. |
| I have a few Rin and Len Kagamine art books, which is basically just an art book collection from Pixiv users, and I have three IDOLiSH7 books! I love them with all of my heart! I wanna get the Tokyo Revenger ones as well, but I wouldn't even begin to think on where to buy or get them. I've also got the Kingdom Hearts Ultimanias, too, both of them (pre and post KH3), but that's a video game (anime video game, but still) so I dunno if that counts LOL. |
 |
| I love art books, but I don't have that many. I do intend to get more especially from the realm of anime/manga. Regarding anime/manga art books I only have ones for Tokyo Ghoul:Re Illustrations, The Art of Spirited Away, and Nausicaa of the Valley of the Wind Watercolor Impressions. (The last one is humorous cause Miyazaki has comments on all the works and he dislikes a lot of them.) For art books or art book adjacent I own Snowpiercer: The Art and Making of the Film, The Rise of the Dragon: An Illustrated History of the Targaryen Dynasty Vol. 1, Star Wars: The Ultimate Visual Guide (2005). The last two have a lot of words, but Rise of the Dragon has a lot of excellent art and the Star Wars one has a lot of concept art and various art from across the franchise. |
| I LOVE ART BOOKS. Thanks for the tag, @Crow_Black! Oh, where to start. I own:
I've been considering purchasing The Art of Vampire Knight: Matsuri Hino Illustrations because it's quite reasonably priced at my bookstore, and I've been desperately trying to track down an affordable listing for Utako Yukihiro Illustration Book "GOING2009-2021" on eBay. But no luck so far. 😅 |

| ooooo interesting and oh yeah, i have an inyuyasha ominubus too and some inyuyasha dvds still need to see the sequel to it sometime. |
| I actually bought this art book myself before I read any part of the series... didn't know there was an English version that also could be found for a lot less than what I paid for the Japanese version at Kinokuniya, but oh well lol. I just liked Jun Mochizuki's work when I read a bit of The Case Study of Vanitas, so I did buy it on the basis of seeing more of her artwork. I do plan to read the actual manga sometime though! Would've been nice to collect too, but obviously, that might not really happen as Yen Press's print (either the standard print or their special 2-in-1 omnibus edition that notoriously goes for a shitton on sites like eBay) is out of print. |

| I collect manga rather than anime/manga artbooks. macchiastella's manga list · AniList I own 37 manga series, and around 72 volumes (Plus today I bought 3 other manga series. 10 volumes - technically 11 volumes cause I accidentally bought the same one twice) |
| "he has it big as a cactus but he won't let go of my head and I puke on his cock bitch" - Boy by Fishball |
| I have Futurelog by Range Murata, and when I got sick I decided to order Futurerhythm which I'm still waiting to arrive. Got it for a great price too. I love Murata's character design ideas (not all of them though) I wish the book had more of his well known characters like Lavie from Last Exile. It has a few short comics in it, my favorite is one about a girl meeting with her crush during a school field trip to an observatory. It's a precious story. FBI-chan would be interested to know what else I have but that's all for today. |
Mercury-Lamp said: I completely agree with you, Studio Ghibli has the best art I have ever seen in animated movies of any kind. It can go from the most intricate scenario like Howl's bedroom to something as simple as that rustic little house on an island seen during Chihiro's train ride. Literally, almost every frame is a painting with Studio Ghibli, especially in Miyazaki's films. The Japanese believe (and so do I) that you imbue a part of yourself in what you create. I'm sure Miyazaki feels the same with his creations and I think that is partially why he is arguably the best animator of all time. One of my best friends gave me recently this amazing [font="\"Amazon Ember\", Arial, sans-serif"]retrospective[/font] book on Miyazaki's film art published by the Academy Museum of Motion Pictures (this one below). Could you recommend any other books of this sort? Btw, my top 3 Studio Ghibli movies are 1) Princess Mononoke; 2) Spirited Away; 3) Howl's Moving Castle 😍😍😍I love anime and manga art books! They give you tonnes of info on the creative process behind any title, what with them detailing all visual aspects of it, from something as simple as a character's outfit to whole sceneries and indoor spaces. I reckon Studio Ghibli art books are the ones I like most, cause well, Studio Ghibli is my favourite thing of anime of all time. I love the detail in Ghibli films, it's really worth pausing and perusing each different location in each film, the many objects decorating each room, shop and any indoor space, the design of the furniture, everything! The Ghibli animators are masters when it comes to decorating a room with the nicest-looking things. As for any other titles or even franchises, I have some slight interest in getting art books for some of my favourite titles, but eh, it's not really something that I feel too strongly about so I can't be bothered getting them.  |
| I've read the Grimoire of Usami, although I don't physically own it unfortunately. The only anime/manga artbook I own is R.O.D Official Archive, although I've yet to read it. Planning on buying the English release of JoJo 6251 when it releases this May. |

Alcoholicide said: I'm more into collecting anime ad manga series (and comics and books) than artbooks. The only thing similar to an artbook that I have isn't manga related - it's H.R. Gigers Necronomicon I & II. It's great, but it cost me 100 bucks and I could have bought like 12 volumes of manga with that money :>. In any case, here are some recent photographs of my collection of non-artbooks if somebody cares. I tried to do it with as few photos as possible so there aren't any close-ups: I just want to say: WOW! You have the most amazing library! 🤩🤩🤩 Kenshin, Berserk, One Piece, and it just goes on and on...Truly impressive |
| Thanks! I actually did some recent updated collection pics and I used this opportunity to put them into an imgur album with notations in case you're interested to take a look: https://imgur.com/a/vCKtNTe |

P.S. I'm really sorry for my late reply |
Crow_Black said: oooh yes, I haven't watched Ocean Waves in a long time but I remember liking it. I also have great expectations for How do You Live, especially after reading the book. Apparently, Hayao Miyazaki is making the film for his grandson which is just adorable! Have you had the chance to read it? I highly recomend it, it's like the Japanese The Little Prince. The book comes with a foreword by Neil Gaiman and in it he writes " Miyazaki makes films for whole people and makes films about consequences. When I worked on the English-language script of his film Princess Mononoke, I was astonished when I finally realized that everything in the film was about consequences of acts and actions: seemingly unrelated events are actually the consequences of other events or actions, and everyone in the film is acting according to what they believe to be their best interests without realising that what they do affects everyone else."Mercury-Lamp said: Even their lower budget works like ocean waves still has some really lovely animation that still holds up well to this day and its said to be from the younger newer employees too.

| Addition. I think I still have some artbooks if I look for them... Saite Uchiho BL Art Works: As the Merciless King Wills (Recently bought) I put it on my bookshelf as a pamphlet and a book of illustrations because it has many illustrations. TYPE-MOON Fes. 10th Anniversary event official pamphlet Limited edition with manga artbook Skip Beat vol. 48 Fullmetal Alchemist vol. 27 Neon Genesis Evangelion, volume 13 Items borrowed from the library yesterday Leiji Matsumoto art book Black Jack art book There were also some Studio Ghibli related art books in the library, but reading the text is kind of tedious, so I passed on them this time. I prefer to read Studio Ghibli related books that have interviews with the directors and so on. |

I thought the picture you uploaded looks like the book with the title "Material" that is sold at anime goods related stores after the Comic Market event. In relation to FATE, I still don't understand the value of original art books and pamphlets.... I have already returned the Leiji Matsumoto art book to the library because it was close to the due date. It's an art book of heroines, or rather female protagonists, and it had an interview about the story of Mater's female model. |

Did you actually go to the event? If you actually went, I wondered if we crossed paths somewhere in the venue... kihel said: They are, but it's a recent development. The only thing Type Moon licensed for much of its history is its anime. Major gaming breakthroughs include Fate/Extra in 2011 (but not CCC), Melty Blood in 2016, and Fate/Grand Order in 2017. Witch on the Holy Night recently became their 1st visual novel to get an official English translation. We have yet to get any light novels.I had an image that they were expanding overseas... |
