Animation STEAMBOY Storyboards 2 (Otomo Complete Works)
Product Description
STEAMBOY Storyboards 2 is Volume 32 of OTOMO THE COMPLETE WORKS, featuring the second half of Katsuhiro Otomo’s extraordinary storyboard collection for the 2004 animated film STEAMBOY. Written, planned, and directed by Otomo, this landmark project took a full decade to complete and stands as his major feature-length animation work since AKIRA.
This expanded reprint gathers the latter sections of the film’s six-part structure (Parts D, E1, and E2), along with alternate versions, pilot film storyboards, and around 60 pages of previously unpublished storyboard rough sketches. Enlarged from the original A5 edition to the larger OTOMO THE COMPLETE WORKS format, this volume offers nearly 500 pages of dense, richly detailed visual material.
More than a production archive, Otomo’s storyboards are highly refined works in their own right, filled with precise settings, direction, and narrative energy. Complete with a new afterword by the author, this book serves both as an essential reference for understanding the structure of STEAMBOY and as an alternative way to experience the film on the printed page.
