Widely regarded as one of the most imaginative and influential filmmakers working in animation, Masaaki Yuasa’s energetic style has been compared to Tex Avery and Max Fleischer. He is one of contemporary anime’s most prolific auteurs and has lent his humor and dynamism to genres as diverse as psychedelic thrillers, transcendent rock-operas and sweetly subversive teen romances.
The treasure trove collection features stunning art newly designed by Masaaki Yuasa throughout the packaging, a 13”x21” poster of the new art and an exclusive 60-page book celebrating the work of this one-of-a-kind storyteller and featuring excerpts from the creative’s sketchbook.
