5.0 out of 5 stars Amazing, January 8, 2002

By	SC (US) - See all my reviews

Wow! Almost every single page has a full-color, full-page painting. No tiny thumbnails, no rough sketches, and very few works that spread across the spine. Among art books (whether English or Japanese), this is very rare. A majority of the pieces focus on Evangelion, but they are so beautiful that anyone could appreciate them even if they had never heard of Evangelion. The other works, on series like Nadia and Fatal Fury, are just as nice. The large format makes it even easier to admire. I own over 150 illustration-art books in several languages, and "Der Mond" is definitely on my essentials list.

We are very lucky that an artbook as great as "Der Mond" has been published in English, at a reasonable price. Be sure to pick this one up before it goes out of print.

5.0 out of 5 stars Sadamoto, true Grace through Art, May 31, 2002

By A Customer

Given one glance through this book, otaku or not, you'll find yourself immersed in this man's art! Not to be underestimated, and most importantly, to be appreciated by all, this book gives new meaning to the term Art Book.

5.0 out of 5 stars Simply Gorgeous, November 17, 2001

By	"clint54" (Washington Crossing, PA United States) - See all my reviews

This book is simply gorgeous. A must for any EVA fan. The quality of the reproductions is very good and the pictures in the book are nice too. Only gripe is that there aren't very many pictures of Misato or PenPen. There are quite a few nice pictures of Shinji, Rei, and Asuka in this book. About a third of the book is non-Evangelion. These plates are also excellent. I'm so happy I picked this up.
