After covering content from some of the director’s earlier works in the first book, Mitsuo Iso Animation Works Vol. 2 continue with some bigger and more influential anime like Evangelion, Blood The Last Vampire, RahXephon, Hirune Hime and more.
The book includes a good mixture of genga ( keyframe drawings ) as well as layouts from the above mentioned anime, and at 384 pages is quite a bit thicker than the first volume ( 248 pages ).
(above & below) I was previously unaware that Mitsuo Iso had also worked on Kon Satoshi’s first animated feature Perfect Blue, even though it was limited to just a couple of layouts.
(above & below) Layouts and genga from Production I.G’s Blood The Last Vampire film, with character designs by Katsuya Terada.
A great follow up art book to Vol 1, with plenty of beautiful layouts and genga by the amazing Mitsuo Iso. I also recommend checking out the Groundwork Of Evangelion books, as well as the visual book for Denno Coil.

Do you think Amazon.jp is going to have more copies available later on? Only the marketplace have it at the moment. This book was not available for pre-order on Amazon.jp and now it seems to be sold out; and Amazon.jp is the only place with cheap shipping.

Ha ha yeah! Already ordered my copy thanks, I was getting anxious because I checked last week and found out the book was already out and sold out; and kept checking every day after that and no luck until now.
