Why Must Read The Art of Spirited Away?
For a art book it has all the standards you expect. Comes with Disney release script in back, plenty of luscious watercolor prints. What is annoying and is true of any art book from Anime from Japan, the US companies may translate all the major stuff in the art books like the articles explaining things, but no one ever bothers to translate the little notes under the conceptual sketches. To me those would be the most fascinating thing, but here I sit with a cell phone taking a picture of the Japanse kanji and using google translate. When I first started buying artbooks, Google and google translate didn't even exist, and yet US companies like VIZ, Dark Horse, Tokyopop(defunct) never translated those little blurbs. But, its a nice addition to my art book collection.
