Artbook Review: GU-RE-N (Noizi Ito)

noizi-ito0017

I would be surprised if you haven’t already seen Noizi Ito‘s character designs somewhere, even if you didn’t realize it at the time. Though she appears to be more active in the eroge scene, I’m sure we’ve all laid eyes on the covers of the Shana and Haruhi light novels by now, both of which have been released in English. To my knowledge, Guren was her first commercial artbook, and it’s comprised mainly of miscellaneous pictures from the games she’s worked on, with a solid chunk dedicated to Shakugan no Shana. The only downside I can think of is the lack of full-sized images, but you’ll be able to make those decisions for yourself in a moment.

Artbook Review: Mutsumi Sasaki Art Works Est

mutsumi-sasaki-est-17

Mutsumi Sasaki is another one of those popular eroge artists that you’ve probably noticed at one point or another. He’s been in the industry for quite some time, designing characters for the Memories Off franchise (the anime adaptations were mediocre, but that’s another story), and, more recently, titles like Chaos;Head and Myself;Yourself. Putting the inappropriate use of semicolons aside, neither of the aforementioned shows struck me as anything spectacular, but one of my favourite aspects of them was the character designs. Why? The answer should be obvious. I love Mutsumi Sasaki, and while he might not be my absolute favourite artist, his work always holds some sort of mysterious control over me. Est is his most recent professional artbook, and suffice to say, I wasn’t disappointed.
