 Welcome back to another closet review. Welcome back to another review and today I'm going to take a look at the Castlevania the art of the animated series which is a really cool book for a really cool show. This is the book the spine this is the back also on the back was this bit of a summary overview of what you get to see in there I'm gonna keep that and it's a fairly thick book it's over 191 pages it's a lot to go through so let me just show you what you get from the very beginning look at that I love it it's really nicely presented beautiful artwork you got your table of contents here saviors and innocent and it starts with the characters it's really cool I love seeing like that when you have the artwork you got different elements of the costumes and props and then different artworks there head poses finding trevors got little some text explanations but you got cool expression poses there and then some elements from the show and it's really really detailed in terms of you get to see all the different characters there their clothing variations look at that I love it that's cool come on so I'm gonna go through a bit faster you can always slow it down just in case you want to look through the separate pages I'm making sure that I am not skipping things you can see the page count there going through that for all the other characters then it goes into store boards and then other characters and it's so detailed in terms of how many characters it's going through which is so cool love that again with different scale different expressions different costume versions a little gruesome image there look at that super detailed the demons and the damn it's got that calm on I love this too when you get some of the rougher sketches and then the final imagery so cool love this very Batman-y of course ready cape back into some storyboards the bishop you got more characters also stuff like that and I love it it's just how detailed and how many images you have of the characters their faces different poses and costumes I like that it's not just one or two with some broader images it's really going through a fine comb of details that's cool and every now and then you got the storyboards more characters so if you're looking for an art of book with a bunch of characters this book will be your jam I love this too in terms of the silhouette great great creatures storyboards that's cool come on look at those creatures love those designs here schoolhouse you got some details but then overall you can still make it super appealing with the sharp edges for a silhouette so you know that this is not a friendly thing love these kind of monsters there awesome I mean it's basically every page is awesome here that's cool or demons and the lands beyond that's cool so now you're getting into some of the environments which is so cool in terms of the day of time explorations different backgrounds different angles I mean no castle how many different angles can you have but it's great seeing that explore getting into the interiors the engine room again it's a big book I want to go through a bit faster feel free to pause that's cool look at that more but the interiors the estate that's cool holds that's nice too there that's cool love this get into the village I wish I had a few more of these sketch explorations and just kind of instead of the final form I would love to see more of that personally I love seeing sometimes kind of the rougher unfinished form I love seeing this in terms of exploration and the colors and all that's all really cool but sometimes the how did you get there would have been also cool so it's definitely more on the finished side for the buildings but still super detailed in terms of how many and interiors as well into that the desert two needs you got the ship more environments that's cool too here love some sometimes also some more close-ups and details would have been cool too you got that until the infinite corridor and that's pretty much the ends you have hell and then with this and that is the end so overall I'm a massive fan of especially the beginning section with these characters and this is the main reason why I got it it's just cool to see all that I love seeing facial expressions poses just the designs and the colors and the costumes that's my main interest in this I personally would have loved a few more rough explorations in terms of sketches so in a sketch like this or just the rougher when you really see the evolution from this was the main idea and then this is what we got at the end I think that would have been really cool and potentially I know this is separate and this is mainly as it says here the animated series I still would have loved more of a connection between the game games a lot of games out there and just the series to see while we did this we designed that and this is how it relates to the game just in visual form so you can kind of see even it was like from like pixels to final form like the you know more detailed sprites to the animated form I think a bit less only animated series and I know that's what it is it says the art of the animated series I know but maybe one chapter would have been kind of cool but maybe that's for another book or another exploration but as it is now it's still super cool and I love love love all of this definitely a fan of the environments but again I'm always a big fan when in art of books you have a really like a deep exploration of these are maybe like reference photos explorations of that's what that was the inspiration do some rough sketches get into this this is the final form bit more from beginning to the end so that's my little caveat if you're trying to get this book if you want to get this book you can see it through that page through that's what you get it's more on the final form on the latter end here but that is come on I love all this great designs great show so I'm still happy I got this and that is that for the page through short and sweet but I want to continue with my series and really I have so many books in the back and have massive pile of books I want to get going so lots of more stuff coming terms of books but also a bunch of hardware so the review series is going to continue in full force but if this is something for you and you like these book reviews or book
