Book Description

This is the best Intron Depot in my collection.
We, in the USA, don't get enough of Mr Shirows work, so if
you're a big fan, this is one to collect.
If you had his past Intron Depot, you will clearly see
how he has progressed with his incorporation of digital
graphics, with eith Photoshop or Corel Bryce. He has
taken his cyberpunk anime to another level.
The presentations of his art is outstanding. His details,
colors, depth, and his thoughts are well included in his work.
M only wish is that they included some of his works in CD-ROM, so I could display them on my PC the way he saw on his PC.
Many ppl scan his works but it only ruins the colors.
I hope in his next project they would include this CD-ROM like many graphic books are doing nowadays.

More of the jaw droping pretty girl art from Shirow. Full page glossy promotional images glore! Guns, shiney girls, sci-fi environments, And even more fan service than Blades!

If that's what you love about Shirow's work. This is for you!

As a long time fan of this artist, I say you can't go wrong.

Intron Depot 3 Ballistics is Shirow's best by far that I personaly own. I own Itron Depot 2 Blades and his Toihime Zohushi as well.
Ballistics is a collection of his work from 1992 through 2002. Most of this volume consist of sci-fi and urban warfare illustrations. This book is gigantic and well printed! If you like dominating as well as hot anime women then this is the book for you! Be warned that this book while not pornograhic still contains a little nudity and would not be appropriate for children. If you like Appleseed or Ghost in the Shell at all you will like this collection the most. It's worth every dollar I spent!
