Not really sure. Yes, his action scenes tend to abuse some kind of repetitiveness, the good example will be Dead Leaves, with it's instant replay extravaganza and derpy shootouts, but it works for me. It looks funny and corny, just like it should. And don't say that Dead Leaves boss fight was bad. Or Gurren Lagann boss fights were bad. Or that Panty and Stocking vs Scanty and Kneesocks (don't remember which episode, their first big action sequence). They're all creative and amazing. This guy developed his style throughout his career to the point it's almost perfect. Shame it does not work for you.

Sorry for my engrish, not my native.

Stylish.


Trisection | 08-06-12, 6:53 PM


A majority of his scenes lack actual movement. He prefers to "animate" by having his characters strike poses.


GiorgioAyanami | 07-23-12, 7:03 AM
THAT CHARACTER DESIGN.


R-Gee | 07-20-12, 8:31 PM
this guy took Yoshinori Kanada style of animation to a whole new level!
a genius!


cwarrior | 06-18-12, 10:56 AM
this man should stick to animating, good animator but atrocious director everything he makes is some boring brain dead nonsense that's quite insulting to a human being like gurren laggan and p &s.


j0x | 03-15-12, 8:52 PM
love the battle scenes on Black Rock Shooter TV, especially on the later episodes, frantic and nice camera angles and camera movements are really cool


Oveneise | 03-14-12, 7:54 PM
He's a pretty cool dude.

Except for Black*Rock Shooter, which sucks major ass. Otherwise, his other works are very nice.


Lucus-FeriaaA | 11-05-11, 6:48 AM
@Uriel1988 I like his style, but your comment is pretty spot on :D
