So, the only art books I have are Der Mond: Art of Neon Genesis Evangelion and Apple Artbook (the first one). Apple is awesome because its not just an artbook is has like manga previews or sumthin in it. EVERYTHING in the Apple Artbook is sweet to look at. I need to buy a specialty scanner or sumthing so i can properly scan some pics i it.
What artbooks do you all have?

I've been thinking about buying them too.
OMG, It's been almost, I dunno, EIGHT months since I ordered my Flamboyant Artbook, and it finally got shipped yesterday. O_O thats a long time to wait. I think it was on order from the manufacturer when I ordered it. Then it went to pre-order status like 2 months ago. Hey, least it got shipped tho.

I have no life and I am always low on money, but when I get home and look at my shelves I am happy. I find tons of inspiration for writing from art so I am looking at them from time to time.
Whoever said money can't buy happiness wasn't an otaku.

Thank you. It took quite a few years to get this far.
It is a side of anime/manga/gaming that I really get into.

Since Iv been attending anime conventions I buy at least one art book everytime I go. The art books I own are all in japanese but there for anime such as shuffle, Rozen Maiden Traumend,Full moon, Tsubasa Resevoir chronicle. Funny thing is when i got them I barely new anything about them now i do.

I just ran across some more Range Murata images. I freaking LOVE the art style of Range Murata. The way that it is drawn, the subject matter could almost be art photographs from the 20s and 30s. The "real life" looks of the characters, obviously anime style but almost like they could be real people kind of thing. But I always feel like I need to take a shower because I am so dirty for having looked at it. If I were to come by a book or some prints I would display them, but I would almost be afraid to do so.
For some time now I have been thinking about picking up the Robot line of art books. And between barns and noble and borders I think I could get all 8 of them except for vol 3.

I would love to have an artbook of Range Murata. Right now I have a few copies of Robot and a couple of figures based on his work. His style and designs are amazing. I think I know what you're talking about some when his work might raise some eyebrows.

Where did you get the My-Hime artbook? I've been trying to find it for a couple of months and the only one I found was $70 with shipping.
I got very lucky and found it at an online store I frequent for such things. I just checked and they are already sold out of that book but still have an My-Otome artbook in stock.  If you want I can PM you the name of the store.

The YUA: The Movie art book was a good find at my local comic shop. I know the owner so he gave me a good deal on it. That is a pretty cool book. You be willing to share???

I only have a couple, but the ones that I have are for Handmaid May, Ai Yori Aoshi, and Ranma 1/2, the last being the one released by Viz a few years back.

I just got the Aria: Avvenire artbook this weekend. By any chance would you know if it's more of a "best of" from the original 3 artbooks or is it more art in addition to them?
