It includes many screencaps, production art (i.e. layouts and storyboards), and information about the anime's production process. It also contains several original illustrations and staff interviews. Most of the production art and original illustrations are by [[Takahiro Kishida]]. The production art is printed in frustratingly small dimensions, but the original illustrations take up full pages or two-page spreads. Though there is a translator in the credits, the vast majority of the text is Japanese.
