Someone's got it on ebay for about 20 bucks, so I'm kinda tempted to pick it up, but I'm not sure because it's from his whole circle. I'm also wondering how "adult" it gets.
>>
ABe only did five pages for it. (I believe the images are around on one of the older pages) The rest of the doujin is very adult.. dealing with the usual cruddy underage lolicon content.. abe's stuff is really out of place in it in my opinion.
>>
I don't suppose anyone has scans of his contribution?
>>
I'd post it here, but the board is whining that it's already up somewhere. Will be back with link-age momentarily...

yeah, I bought this sight and immediately regretted so upon opening it up. couldn't even sell the damn thing on ebay, so I tossed it.

Hey folks, I just came to ask. What kind of work does Abe usually do? I've never heard of him but figured he might be an interesting read.

>> No.2  

Well. Lots of stuff. He does full-blown manga, occasionally (see: NieA_7 manga, his contributions to Robot), as well as lots of independent doujinshi work (like White Rain or the Pochiyama stories). He's done character designs for several anime shows (including Serial Experiments Lain and Texhnolyze), and he's also done writing and directing for others (including Haibane-Renmei and NieA_7).

Also he just does art and design - lots of the doujins he releases are artbook/sketchbook type deals. His art is influenced by his experience with traditional Japanese painting, and he's got a fairly distinctive style, in part because he doesn't use a straight-edge in any of his drawings.

Aaand that's pretty much ABe in a nutshell. Cool art style, has worked on lots of pretty awesome and reasonably intellectual series. Unfortunately his (drawn, not animated) work isn't easy to get outside of Japan, but that's slowly changing, with nice people like DMP mirroring Wani's artbook/anthology releases in the US.

>> No.3  

He is also the president of Japan. True story.

Whatever happened to this? I remember it being slated for US publication at one point, and then it vanished.

>> No.6  

Tokyopop had the license, and... well, they're sitting on it, it seems. I'm pretty sure that I even saw it listed under their "coming soon" titles in a copy of Planetes or GTO at some point (though unfortunately I don't have either on hand to check with).

If you don't mind it being in Japanese, it's in the uber-torrent.

I think you mean Prime Minister. Japan doesn't have a president in their government.

Actually, because of some problems on the Japanese (publishers going under or something like that,) NieA's in licensing hell. TPOP would like to publish it (they were actually in the middle of doing typesetting on the first volume when they found out their was a licensing problem,) but they can't. Noone can it seems for the moment.

I was just wondering, which one should I get:
http://www.amazon.de/Haibane-Renmei-Ailes-Grises-DVDs/dp/B000FHYJ4Q/ref=pd_ka_2/302-6343347-2892063?ie=UTF8&s=dvd&qid=1173642110&sr=8-2
or
http://www.amazon.de/Haibane-Renmei-Ailes-Grises-Ltd-Box/dp/B000FHYJ4G/ref=pd_ka_1/302-6343347-2892063?ie=UTF8&s=dvd&qid=1173642110&sr=8-1

It strikes me as odd that the collectors edition costs less than the normal box.

Also, does anyone happen to know if any of those come with posters or anything like that? It's kind of difficult to get those in germany.

>> No.2  

At least one of the PAL editions came with some really nice stuff - over on Naimoka, someone posted pics of some postcards included with their set (including at least one piece of exclusive artwork). I'm not sure if that extends to the German version, but I'll check their forums to see which version was on display.

>> No.3  

...no go, it seems to have been wiped from their forums. or my search-fu is off today.

It's the french edition.

Sorry, I can't help you for the german one. If you get nothing here, ask the publisher directly!

Thanks. I bought the collectors edition and it's exactly the same as the one in the image you posted.

>> No.7

Not sure if that's the same as the postcards that came with the individual DVDs in the US, but that box is a lot nicer. I just have a box that holds all four individuals; nothing fold-out like that.
The postcards are gorgeous though.

On AB's homepage I found this in news line: アニメ『地獄少女』13話、素材提供 (Animation "hell girl" 13 episodes, a material offer)
What is he done there?
Maybe this?

>> No.2  

Wikipedia has him credited for doing "sketches and wallpaint" in that episode. The paintings are very important in that episode, by the way, if you haven't seen that series.

I thought it was changed to something bigger, but apparently not.

Up to translating anything? I got someone to look at Pochiyama 2 and it frightened him.

Hey everybody :> I'm not much for requesting images, but I was thinking maybe you could help me out.
I'm looking for pictures of Masami Eiri. Doodles from the artbooks, size charts, anything. Fanart is fine too, since i'm kind of looking for anything that's not a direct screencap from the series. He's one of my favorite (sad, right? @_@) characters from the series, and..Well, i'd like to see more of him.

Thanks so much :>

Wish I could do more for you, but he's damned hard to find. He's in several frames in the short comic "Nightmare of Fabrication" - I've attached a page with the most direct view of him. DMP's "yoshitoshi ABe lain illustrations" has the whole story translated, so it might be worth picking up (particularly if you like Lain in general).
