Well i just received a book which i thought was the 3rd volume of the AMG manga in Japanese as it was called " Ah! My Goddess Volume 3 GN" and was stated that it was in Japanese print.

When i got the book this morning it was in fact a quite a large paged art book featuring lots and lots of sketches of backgrounds, vehicles and characters.

It also seems to have lots and lots of storyboards =o



this is the only image i have from the site i bought it from, i don't have a scanner but hopefully my camera will be able to get some picture of the pages inside.

Any one got any ideas =s


"Edit"

Two pictures .... not the best as you can see but they will do =p

That is the AMG! "Continuity" book. I have a copy also. It was sold quite awhile back when the OVA was released back in 1993. It cost me $35 at the time. It has all the sketches for the OVA in it, character drawings, building and room diagrams. It's a good book. I believe animebooks.com has some more info. on it. It is a legitimate Kodansha release in case you were wondering. It's kinda hard to find nowadays.

Well yeah ,actually. There were 2 other books printed that were much larger and more like artbooks. There was the AMG! "Proof of Existence" Book and the large size version AMG! artbook which had a white cover with AMG! art on the front and back which is essentially the same as that "Continuity" book. Albeit larger. It's a good find you have there. And the price is a steal too.

O_O!! Wow... you're very, very lucky to have gotten that at such a cheap price. It's almost non-existent now in the States, so if you have it, get it. I'd love to have been able to get my hands on some of those books, but being in a land-locked state in the US means I don't get any real anime stuff here. ;_;

Yeah, those are the other 2 books I was talking about. I also have the Hidenoru Matsubara artworks book which has all the latest artwork from the series. I also have a few small artbooks from the movie and from Newtype magazine that was in an issue back in 1993.
