Who'd have dreamed that nearly 10 years after its finish, the 1992-98 "Giant Robo: The Animation" OVA series would get a spectacular new book? Studio DNA, we salute you! This Japanese-language softcover opens with a 16-page color section presenting the jacket art of the epic OVA's various releases and assorted promotional art; the rest, all b&w, is a gathering of every ever-lovin' piece possible of the series' settei (designs for characters, mecha, props, backgrounds and other details), complete with--did we say "salute"? Studio DNA, we worship you!--footnotes that repeat in typeset text every notation that was hand-scrawled on the settei sheets! There's also a text history of Mitsuteru Yokoyama's Giant Robo, and a categorization of various types of robots the manga master created in his career, too. A gotta-have for Giant Robo fans!
