I bought the White Side and now I got this one, the Black Side. If I had been amazed by the colorful beauty and detail of the White Side, the Black Side BLOWN MY MIND. This book isn't just elegant and the perfect size with its full page illustrations and high quality paper in black mate finish, the fabulous pencil sketches -printed in bright ink that made it look like it was drawn on the very page itself!- and the close ups make this book breathtaking. Completely a must if you love pencil artwork, detailed scenery and/or beautiful artbooks~

As a devoted follower of artbooks around the world, this beautiful book is full of diverse styles printed in an excellent quality. You really can appreciate the richness of the japanese graphics in this book! Also it has the perfect size and the number of pages is outstanding for the price. I fully recommend it~

I was unsure of buying this book but now I'm really happy to do it. The very movie can left you breathless but be able to see those backgrounds in very high quality, with a defined excellent print quality, is a delight.
Full of urban detailed shots and then powerful dream-like scenery.
A really good book for animation lovers and artist whose like to perfectionate their background skills.
