>>339779 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? >>339660
