Summary: Excellent book
Review: The second book in the series, this one goes into detail on how to bring your characters to life through their facial expressions and body position. They show many different facial types for various types of characters and genders; many emotions that they go through including joy, anger, smug, embarressment, and much more; and the positions their bodies would be in while executing these emotions. At the end of the book there is a chapter on perspective and how to choose the right perspective to convey the emotion your character is going through. An excellent book for any anime artist.

Summary: Invaluable resource book!!!
Review: This book deals with how to breathe life into your characters by teaching you the proper techniques through eye-candy illustrations. You are definitely going to get the correct facial expressions on your characters that accurately suggests whatever and however forms of emotions that these characters harbour. Cool book, A MUST HAVE. I generally prefer the HOW TO DRAW ANIME AND GAME CHARACTERS series to the HOW TO DRAW MANGA series simply because I feel that the former is harder to acquire(at least in my fabulous home country Singapore), thereby making it as rare and precious as diamonds. Ok enough about the good part. Here comes the complaint. All the volumes in this series are printed in mediocre paper quality, like those paper quality of all the japanese comic books'. Secondly, it is not in coloured print. I wouldn't mind paying more for colour if I am going to keep this book on my reference-book shelf. But I still love this series, the drawings are sooooooo cute(main reason why I am into manga and anime in the first place)!!! To sum it up, I just love japanese art especially manga and anime and this book helps you have a sound starting point so that you would minimize mistakes later on. In short, GO GET IT ... WHAT ARE YOU WAITING FOR?!

Summary: excellent character designer's crib book
Review: This book focuses directly on character design. Its best feature is that it shows various features and demonstrates precisely how, in the stylistic language of anime, these features interact to form believable character traits. Invaluable for those times when your generic cute girl character needs just a touch more strength, or needs to express a little more shyness.It's possible to complain that the archtypes they show are too generic, but I feel that's one of the book's strengths. It explains the rules and conventions, using neutral characters so that the lesson shows clearly. It expects you, the character designer, to apply these lessons with whatever degree of subtlety you prefer. The book is somewhat expensive for its content (especially compared with such great values as /the animator's survival kit/, by richard williams,) but it's quite useful, and still recommended.

Summary: Anime Freak!!!
Review: This book is all about finding the best expression for your charaters. For people who bought the first volume this depends on how well you listened and did when you were drawing. But it has been the best allowence money I spent. It has greatly aproved both my best's freinds drawing and mine. So if you HAVE THE FIRST VOLUME GET THE SECOND ONE.

Summary: This book helps!
Review: Yes, the cover may not appeal to much becuse it didnt at first to me and my brother. I was soon looking at it in a store and saw how good it was. The book vol. 2 goes into detail about emotions and it is very helpful. Also there is a guy who looks much like Herro Yuy from gundamwing.
