RATING

:

8.8/10

I LOVE this artbook, I really do. As usual, it showcases Minekura-sensei at her best. The art is polished, with lovely colours and CG effects. I wanted to give this a 9 but there is one thing about this artbook. Quite a few of the images in it are repeated elsewhere ALREADY. The difference is that for these images, there's the Backgammon-Remix logo (the cogs and wheels) on them. There ARE new images, but if you're not as much of a crazed Saiyuki fan as I am, then you might wanna turn your attention elsewhere. ^^ If you ARE a Saiyuki fan, you DO want this!
