1) A Sky Longing for Memories: The Art of Makoto Shinkai - I was late for the Your Name party, i know, but that was a movie that really starstrucked me. Later diving in his other works made realize how sad i was for not knowing him before. It's weird but the atmosphere he conceives in his artwork and movies are just so inspiring to me.
2) The Art of Persona 5 - What a stylish game. I mean, my first Shin Megami Tensei game was Persona 3, so his artwork has a very special place in my heart. His character designs are simple and yet very striking, which set the whole tone of the game.
3) The Art of Posuka Demizu - Started The Promised Neverland this year and i'm already hooked. Her art is just what i look for in fantasy and it really reminds from the first FF games i played in my childhood, it's very fresh in comparision with what we have in Shonen nowdays, almost innocent and yet there is a bite to it. Good to see she is receiving more attention thanks to her serialization on Jump!
Honorable mentions includes: Bloodborne, love the overall aesthetics; Valerian and the City of a Thousand Planets The Art of the Film, while it's nice to see comics from your childhood becoming movies, not gonna lie, i did not enjoyed it that much despite loving the visuals; The Art of Over the Garden Wall, because i loved the cartoon, just delightful.
