After doing a blog entry on science fiction art, mostly from the mid-20th century and culled from movie posters, magazine covers, paperback covers, and screen grabs from sci-fi classics like FORBIDDEN PLANET, I decided to do a follow-up piece on sci-fi art in anime, since there’s so much of it to choose from. I decided to keep it mostly to the 1970s and ’80s, i.e. the pre-CGI, hand-drawn era. I used examples from promotional art, anime magazine covers, posters, video box art and images from the films and TV shows themselves e.g. Galaxy Express 999, Captain Harlock, Space Battleship Yamato, Nausicaa, Laputa, and, in the images below, Macross: Do You Remember Love?, Dallos, Phoenix 2772.

If only the animation always looked like the gorgeous promo art.
