Avatar: The Last Airbender - Created by Bryan Konietzko

Sergio LB: Increíbles ilustraciones y procesos de creación del mundo de Avatar, vienen muchísimos bocetos de las creaciones de los diferentes personajes, escenarios y sobre todo muchos storyboards de escenas.
Sin duda un imprescindible para los fans de la serie porque amplía muchísimo como hicieron sus creadores para conseguir que todo fuera homogéneo y acorde, explican desde las primera ideas hasta como enlazaron que cada tribu tuviera un estilo diferente de lucha. En serio, es genial!!
Una pena que esté en inglés, porque se pueden escapar conceptos e ideas que explican los creadores si no se domina el idioma.

Delirium: El libro es una pasada para fans incondicionales de la serie, para mi, esto es un complemento friki perfecto jejeje. También para quienes les gusta dibujar/ilustradores, está repleto de bocetos y creaciones de diseño de personajes. Es una joyita.
Está en inglés.

Me sumo a algunos comentarios que han hecho por aquí, de la lástima que es que esta serie no tuviera el exitazo masivo que se merecía (no comprendo como no lo ha tenido, de verdad), y que por eso, no podamos disfrutar de una edición en dvd/blueray con opción de audio y/o subítulos en castellano, y tampoco ediciones en castellano de los libros y cómics que continúan con la historia.
De lo malo malo, podemos disfrutar de estos libros en inglés, y son bastante cómodos de entender :)

COMENTARIO SOBRE ENTREGA: ahí me la han liado. Porque de repente vi un email que decían que me lo habían entregado, Y NO. Me dio por mirar y me lo habían dejado DEBAJO DEL FELPUDO. ¡Tened cuidado con eso! especificad en detalles del envío de que no lo hagan así si no os viene bien. Mi edificio es horroroso de como las lían, no se como es posible que me haya aguantado el paquete ahi ni 5 minutos. Eso es un...

Banana: Guardavo questo artbook da un po' e quando è sceso sotto i 30€ mi sono fiondata a comprarlo. È così bello, che mi sento in colpa nell'averlo preso scontato.
È un artbook abbastanza grande (supera le dimensioni di un A4) e in meno di 200 pagine racconta e mostra tutto il procedimento della serie animata, con alcuni interessanti appunti sull'animazione coreana, keyanimations e storyboard (che sono in realtà abbastanza rari giacché tanti artbook si focalizzano molto su character design, concept art o layouts).
L'artbook è ovviamente in inglese (perché in Italia non c'è mercato per queste cose, inutile lamentarsi di mancate traduzioni) ed è una piccola chicca per chi vuole studiare la produzione di una serie animata a tutto tondo.

Akutabi GammaAkutabi Gamma: Hard to write a review of something that was an obsession for a time. This is truly a wonderful art book for a captivating animation series.

I bought this book as I wanted to learn more about how such an amazing series was created and understand more of the ideas that run through the series and how they were created. The book really didn't disappoint. When it arrived I was amazed how large it actually is.

Making the series is said to have taken many years, involving hundreds of artists,and hundreds of thousands of drawings. This book showcases only a selection of some really, really beautiful illustrations. Also creators Bryan and Michael let us in on lots of little behind the scenes facts which are sure to please.

If you want to know more about how the series was put together and more about the concepts and ideas that were thought up and incorporated into the series then this book is a must for any enthusiast of the Airbender series.

Alejandro: El arte de "Avatar The Last Airbender" es el complemento perfecto que no puede faltar en las estanterias de cualquier fan de esta magnifica serie de animación de culto.
Profusamente ilustrado y con muy buena calidad de papel e impresión, en este extenso libro en inglés encontraremos desde la evolución del diseño de los personajes, pasando por fondos o vestuarios hasta layouts, storyboards o penciltest de las tres temporadas que tuvo. Junto al libro de arte de la serie de animación de Batman de Bruce Timm este es sin duda el mejor libro de arte de una serie de animación nunca editado.
Pero es lo malo que tienen las cosas de culto. Como "Avatar, la leyenda de Aang" no fué una serie de exito masivo nunca se llegó a editar en dvd en España y tampoco hay ninguna copia disponible en otros paises con subtitulos en español y mucho menos con idioma castellano. Así que los fans nos tendremos que conformar con los capitulos grabados cuanto se emitió en televisión y con este magnifico libro. Un gran compra sin lugar a dudas.

Abbey Horine: I have been a fan of the show since I watched the premiere of it all those years ago. The first episode had me hooked and I was so sad to see it end. I bought the dvds immediately and while those are just as good, I still felt like I was missing some of the artwork that went into the show. I saw this book and thought about getting it, but wasn't entirely convinced when I looked at the preview. It looked cool thats for sure, but it didn't really show what was in the book and I did not want a book of still shots from the show. On a whim I bought it because my curiosity was to much to handle and I am so glad I did! It is not a bunch of still shots from the show, but delves into how they went through the process of getting the show on the air, the gradual development of the avatar world including the characters, bending and cross-bred animals, and how the story continually evolved until the final chapter. And with each step of the way there are concept drawings by Bryan Konietzko and other equally talented artists that really allow you to dive into their imagination and creativity.
Each page was a constant struggle between staying on the page and examining every drawing or hurrying...

kremlin-dawn: As a devoted fan of the show from almost the very beginning, I followed all the interviews, sneak peeks, and DVD commentaries aggressively, so I thought I knew a good bit about every aspect of the show, from its influences to its creation process to little trivia bits about the finished episodes. I told myself I didn't need the art book because it would tell me little about Avatar that I didn't already know. For a while I was able to hold off buying this book, but the art in Avatar is so beautiful that I finally broke down and got it, telling myself that I might as well dish out twenty bucks to have a nice hardcover Avatar book to add to my collection of flimsy cinemanga and Earth Kingdom Chronicles paperbacks. Now I'm writing this review to tell every fan out there who has had even a minute's hesitation in buying this book: DO IT.

Avatar: The Art of the Animated Series covers everything you could dream of wanting to know about the show. I should have known Bryke would never do anything halfway. I was blown away by the obviously intense amount of effort the creators put into compiling such a thorough and well-put-together inside look at the creation process. They explain...

Mary Rosaso: I'm a huge fan of the series. Not just for the story, character depth or enticing music.. but the art. It's what hooked me the first episode I saw. I mean, c'mon, you can't deny how gorgeous the premiere looked! So yes, I JUMPED at the opportunity to grab a copy of this baby.

The cover is quality. Then you open up to the map of the Avatar world followed by an introduction given by M. Night... And then, the revealings of Avatar's beginnings come to light.

One of the things I have to stress about this book is the amount of insight about the behind the scenes work. For the fans who want to know how this deep story came to light, they tell you and they don't hold back. Everything from insights on the difference between American Animation studios and Asian Animation studios to momo going from a robotic monkey to a lemur explained.. It's really great and helped me appreciate the show a lot more. This makes up the first of five chapters.

After this, it comes on to highlight sketches from each episode in chapters made up of each season. Some explained in depth, such as "Jet" and "The Blue Spirit" and others just illustrations with very minimal explanation, such as...
