5.0 out of 5 stars A Treasure of Romantic Images from a Bygone Time, April 13, 2005
This is a must for any fan of the Crimson Pig. I originally got my copy for inspiration for building models of the various aircraft featured in the story. I was hoping for more images of the gunsmith's shop and the hanger where they rebuilt Porco's plane, but was completely satisfied with the content. Just a relaxing collection of artwork from a time when people knew how to behave like ladies and gentlemen... and pirates.

4.0 out of 5 stars Film stills overwhelm the art, January 29, 2009
Length:: 0:19 Mins

Porco Rosso, the movie, is actually based on a 15-page water-coloured manga by Hayao Miyazaki. Included in the book are 3 pages from that manga and they look really fantastic.

The only one thing I don't like about the book is there are too much screenshots from the movie. The concept art consists of character designs, airplane designs, publicity posters and storyboards. I love that they included the film ending credit illustrations. Overall, the amount of concept art is still overwhelmed by the film stills.

Right at the end, there are over 60 pages of the screenplay, broken down to story beats with captions. There are also 5 full black and white pages from the original manga.

There's also not much writeup except to explain a little history on the story.

This book is still good just that it's not as great compared to the art-of books released for later movies.

There are more pictures of the book on my blog. Just visit my Amazon profile for the link.
