KNT Official Fan Book

[rcom88]

A bit late in posting the news here, but Udon Entertainment will be releasing a translated version of this book.

That sounds great. I'll be sure to get it.

Thats first news to me, dude I have lost track of many things in all the time the hostname ban forum trouble lasted, looks impressive, more if they released a translated one so I will try to get one too

Edit: Do you happen to know where is it going to be sold? I mean its apparently to be sold in book shops like any other artbook? just wondering, I dont live in the US but would be nice to know since I have to get it like any other fan around here

I honestly wish I knew. Personally, I also want the book, although I would prefer it if it were translated.

Well if I understood correctly in the editor's site they are releasing it in a month or so, my assumption is this is going to be translated in English

Honestly, the thought of owning that book (in English) makes me excited for it.

Yeah I totally agree, I also hope I can get a copy of it or else find scans somewhere, its not going to be sold here as far as I know and probably only option is importing, maybe if certain bookstore imports it that would be great but we never know what will be imported and to be honest I never buy online. Well in any case let me know when you get it about facts like if its translated or not and the overal quality etc =).

By the way, I dont totally understand why they call it "official fanbook" I mean somehow if its made by fans it sounds like the opposite to being official but this book looks like official stuff, or am I missing something? and wasnt there a previour official artbook with production designs and sketches of characters? I have seen some of these sheets here somewhere so Im sure it was published at some point

My guess was it's the official book for fans, hence "official fanbook". But yes, putting the words in that order makes it sound they way you described it. Either way it is "official" in the sense that Sotsu and Tatsunoko signed it off.

As for any other artbook, IIRC there was some character artwork/sketches floating around before both this fanbook and the King Record/Star Child DVD booklet. However I always guessed they came from production sheets which pop up every now and then on eBay. That or they were from the dōjinshi.

Ah yes it might be what you said, sure is "official" since Sotsu and Tatsunoko signed it off. So with that title probably they only tried to emphasize its a book for the fans and not really for the people who never watched the SPC (I know I know, who would buy the book not being a fan...).

And about the previous sheets that used to float around with sketches or some production designs, I think then probably is as you said, not really from a book, my guess would be that these were taken from production material rather than dojin work, or at least the drawings look quite a lot like in the anime and fit in the usual pre-production designs made for other series, illustrating angles and expressions needed by the animators.

I'm not sure where it might be sold, but if I do get it, I'll be sure to discuss it here.

Yeah, the wording does make it sound a bit confusing. I do think there was a booklet at some point, though, because I believe there were some images on Youtube.

I really want to get my hands on those fan books. This one, in particular, sounds very promising.

I have to agree with you, more considering apparently there were no other artbooks prior to this one so we only had few freed materials from production time but not really anything like an artbook featuring clean art and sketches with interviews and more, I really want that too, I hope I can get it here in shop or somewhere. By the way the DVD booklet mentioned, I dont know if you saw that thread (I stumbled upon it a few days ago), I cant find the thread right now, but as I downloaded it then it is faster to upload it again, I added the translation they made for the interview, all the credit goes for the nice folks who scanned this and translated for later sharing it here, sorry I cant name them now.

Im also collecting the design sheets availables on this site and overal internet, when I have it I will let you know, its interesting to see some of these, I wish quality was better in some but its still cool I think.

I think that book sounds cool, but I think it sounds even cooler because there's interviews included.

Thanks for the link.

You are welcome =), I find the DVD booklet specially cool because of the interviews added there, so I agree, the book will be great because of the different interviews that it features which will help us understand a lot more of the SPC and circunstances of its production.

Yeah, I'm really interesting in reading those interviews. I love interviews or commentaries that give some insight as to the behind-the-scenes stuff.

Does anyone know when this comes out, or if it has already? Because once it does, it's getting my money. I haven't even finished looking through the original yet, but a translated copy might motivate me to finish, since I'll finally be able to actually read it without struggling on one page forever.

Side note, not to be bossy, but could some of you maybe trim the multi-quotes in your posts? It's a bit cumbersome when you have like five quotes in your post per one new original sentence.
