Was probably an online release, since it's rather obviously a cg work and not necessarily done for high resolution printing as with an artbook.

It's all from MT. I labeled things as best I could with what they told me there. The numbers at the end are the ID numbers at MT. Not all of the pictures are scanned directly from the artbook, so I tried to include some acceptable substitutes. According to the directory at http://cuppy-cake.net/scans/categories.php?cat_id=7, these are the pictures in there.

Oh yeah. Code Geass Illustration Rebels artbook.

I could really go for more information about this. It looks like something that I would love to add to my physical collection.

Personally, I don't like buying things I haven't seen ahead of time. $30 is a pretty good chunk of change to be spending and you can't just pick up and look at most of these in a traditional box store.

>>339882
I have the first four volumes of Robot in English, the 5th is due out... well anytime now. I recall that the set already has at least 8 volumes in Japan, but that it's still running. Despite the reviews I've seen, its less of an artbook and more of a manga. It's done omnibus style, so there's manga from about 10 different mangaka in each one. About half of the stories have continued from one volume to the next; the other half are one-shots. The books are all in color. Except for one story which dealt with the lack of color in a world. The artwork is all well done, but lacks the overwhelming amount of detail you see in most of the artbooks here. The Uno Makoto Illustrations is a pretty good example of the kind of quality you get in the books. There is some adult content (read: nudity) in one or two of the stories, so its probably not too appropriate for children. So far the stories have been more philosophical than action oriented, from what I remember; so no Naruto here.

Anything else you want to know about them?

I buy a book only if I know its content. It's better to know what is inside or you can get bad surprises : 5 to 10 artworks on a page, half of the book for a comic, etc...

Last art book I bought is Rei Hiroe's "Barrage" and it's not that good. A lot of illustrations are small and half of the book is for his short story "Phantom Bullet".
My worst is Die Stern, this book is a total failure. 95% of its illustrations are small, it's better to have it scanned. Fortunately, it was cheap in my country.

I don't buy an art book anymore if illustrations aren't full page. I don't see the logic in watching stamp-sized artworks, that's completely stupid.

It's the OST's booklet, not an art book.

I liked Die Sterne. The book was about twice the size of a normal book, so it's not exactly a postage stamp sized image. And it contained more art work than most artbooks ever do for any series, not a page was wasted on comics or interviews.

I agree about Barrage though. That was a surprise. I would have thought there was enough art to fill a book but apparently not. Another book like that was Shutter Kill, which had more sketches than color art.

So where do you all look to see the insides? I normally just end up reading reviews on Amazon.jp for it to get a feel of the content. The collectors over there are about as technical and picky as we are.

You can do at least 3 books with what is in "Die Sterne". Most arts are too small to appreciate the details, I bought it for completion.

I took some photos to illustrate my comment. I took a photo of Feder too, I don't like Yukiru Sugisaki anymore but this book was a small (A5 sized) piece of shit.

-

In my case, I buy a book after seeing its content with scans. Or when it's my favorite artist, like for Rei Hiroe. "Barrage" still have some gorgeous illustrations.
But I avoid guide books, these books are useless if you don't understand japanese.
