5 out of 5 starsBeautiful Manga style artwork..
Colorful and full of life, the artwork in this volume is energetic and very creative.

While there is not much in the way of a written story for each set, the artwork for each story-set presents its own adventure, and it is a beautiful one.

Imaginative and diverse, Robot Volume 2 is a wonderful addition to anyone's collection of Manga-type art.



2 out of 5 starspretty good anime book
to begin, the cover looks pretty darn good, but when you actually open the book, its amazing. The styles of each artist are great, they all have their own wonderful style, and the short stories are great as well...five stars, a must have for fans of any type of manga!!!



5 out of 5 starsThere Isn't Much To Say
There really isn't much to be said about this artful collection of manga, other than that it is a masterpiece. Visually, it's one of the best art books I've ever purchased, and I'm a collector of books on art and the like. The artists that contributed their work to this collection, while not all seasoned professionals, are some of the best in the digital manga field, and it's apparent that they put a lot of love into these stories and the artwork in them.

My personal favorites were "Dragon Fly 2" a continuation of the action story presented in the first Robot; "Wasteland 2," another continuation from volume one from the creator of Lain; "Delicious Adventures," a cute story about three ants' first day out of the hole; and "Eventyr" another continuation though in this it explores a different part of the Eventyr world than in Robot 1. But still, very little in this book left me disappointed, so saying these stories are my personal favorites really isn't saying much. I liked every story in this book, only some a little more than the others.

In the end, though, this isn't a manga. Yes, it uses the manga styling and has some story in its pages, but it is, more than anything, simply an art book showcasing some of the greatest works in digital manga art around. While I'd love to recommend this book, and the first one, to everyone, I really can't because for those of you looking for great stories you'll likely be disappointed. However, if you just want to see some high-quality artwork, then Robot is the top of the field there, and I'd say pick this up as quickly as possible.
