Synopsis:
The anime movie version "Akira" was released in theaters in 1988 and innovated even more than the manga area to the anime world.
This book is from the huge amount of layouts, original drawings, and original paintings used for the production of the anime version.
This is the first volume of three volumes of what was drawn by Katsuhiro Otomo, who was also the original author and director.

The layout is a necessary information for each of the scenes that make up the main part of the anime, and is a blueprint for drawing anime.
In addition to the recording of the original drawings and layouts of the "A part and the B part" of all 4 parts, A, B, C, and D, which make up the entire movie
The valuable duplicate cell paintings for numerous scenes, which were completed based on them, are also recorded.

One of the reasons why this work has repainted the history of anime films and attracts the world to this day is the “movement of movement”.
Following the two books of the story -story collection published earlier, the processing process of sharp expressions is still publicly published.

"Layout", which depicts the background of each cut and the movement of the character by making full use of various angles and lenses based on art settings,
The film version "Akira" was built by a thorough process, which is instruction and corrected by Otomo's own hands.

The greatness of making the screen without compromise is just turning over the pages.
A unique book that can be enjoyed as a flip book that can be experienced from the scene where each one works continuously.

It is frustrating that it is difficult to convey unless you actually pick up this book and turn it over!
The book name "Layouts & Key Frames" is the English notation of "Layout & Original".
