Anime Architecture

The impact of anime, one of Japan's most successful cultural exports, has been felt through cinema, literature, comics, and video games for many decades. However, the art behind this genre is still somewhat mysterious, especially during the pre-digital era before the early 2000s. Anime Architecture takes a true behind-the-scenes journey into the backgrounds, scene layouts, and original drafts of the most respected directors and illustrators in the industry. It introduces the buildings and metropolises of these visionary individuals' alternate worlds as a celebration - and a lesson for - the near future.
