Often a sci-fi military theme is evoked, with special emphasis on detailed weaponry, but there is also a healthy batch of fantasy themes and outer space action. |

Masamune Shirow's masterpiece. by Token (Kentucky)  5 Stars
April 09, 2009
Intron Depot 3 Ballistics is Shirow's best by far that I personaly own. I own Itron Depot 2 Blades and his Toihime Zohushi as well.
Ballistics is a collection of his work from 1992 through 2002. Most of this volume consist of sci-fi and urban warfare illustrations. This book is gigantic and well printed! If you like dominating as well as hot anime women then this is the book for you! Be warned that this book while not pornograhic still contains a little nudity and would not be appropriate for children. If you like Appleseed or Ghost in the Shell at all you will like this collection the most. It's worth every dollar I spent!

Don't buy it here :) by Final Fantasy (ZERO) 5 Stars
March 17, 2008
Got my off ebay for about 17.00 this has a 50.00 cover price.
Even though Masamune shirow uses digital coloring now he still uses hand sketches which makes up for all of the CG this is the best book by far off all of the intron Depot books. I really like ID 1 alot but this is a really nice book.

Not Impressed by Samuel J. Irish  2 Stars

The cover of my order arrived with a large cut across the entire front cover. I normally wouldnt be too upset about something like this but these books are expensive.

Must have for Masamune Fans by R. Logan (Chicago) 5 Stars
October 30, 2003
This is the best Intron Depot in my collection.We, in the USA, don't get enough of Mr Shirows work, so ifyou're a big fan, this is one to collect.If you had his past Intron Depot, you will clearly see how he has progressed with his incorporation of digitalgraphics, with eith Photoshop or Corel Bryce. He hastaken his cyberpunk anime to another level.The presentations of his art is outstanding. His details,colors, depth, and his thoughts are well included in his work.M only wish is that they included some of his works in CD-ROM, so I could display them on my PC the way he saw on his PC. Many ppl scan his works but it only ruins the colors.I hope in his next project they would include this CD-ROM like many graphic books are doing nowadays.

Welcome to the future of vast bio-constructed cities with crime so severe that the cops drive tanks!
