People are saying, "Oh yeah, the guy's a hentai director" as if most of the directors in anime haven't at least done some hentai. A popular series, Jigokuraku, had it's director literally direct hentai films for studio MAPPA. The character designer for Jojo Part 5 worked on hentai. This is not a new thing. But beyond that, from his work on Bastard, he's a damn good director.

Do I think he was the perfect person for it? Hard to say. But do I think he can do an amazing job with what he's given? Absolutely.

I dont really care if people call him "Hentai director"... Even he seems to find it amusing and most of the time made jokes on it as well.... But the level of harassment he received since he was revealed as the director is insane. Its so insane, he had to lock his X profile with a disclaimer that he wont be using that account anymore until broadcast ends and any queries about Season 3 should be asked in the official page....

Like, bro is trying to be as open as possible, but is forced back by NDA. Many Pricks just cant seem to grasp it and accept it...

there is some implied truth to the hentai director meme that he never directed action shows or episodes according to those that knows his background and even if he directed some action shows they are never standouts

We will have to wait and see. I feel like the hate he is receiving know is mostly just hate for the bad handling of the show by J.C Staff and as the director he will also get some of that hate. If OPM S3 is a disappointment however like how all the signs point to, the narrative that he was not qualified for the job will simply get bigger and become more justified. I personally believe he shouldn’t get as much hate. After all, there’s only so much one person can control. Blame J.C staff if you want someone to blame.

@SoloNecromancer Natsume is helming a new original film at Madhouse. I don't think he cares much about this now.

actually no buddy/most doesn't cares who the director is and what he does. what people really angry about is the production quality of the anime. now what can a director do when he was put in charge so late, they don't have enough time to work on it. although JC studio had more than everything for the one punch man project, they had time they had money, but they yet to decide to fumble. on top of that is one punch man manga has one of the greatest panels in all of the manga. so ofcourse every one is angry and it is justified.

You should be the last person to lecture people about having personal problem with something!! Lol!!
You have no idea how ironic you sound right now!!

And you know what's even more funny? You cant even comprehend the difference between criticism and slander!! Justifying personal attacks as criticism and trying to hold a moral highground!! Thats some crazy sociopathic behavior buddy!!

The main concerns are his limited involvment in Action series in the past and his comment about using 3D and 2D for the production. Even though these concerns are valid, I dont think those warrant personal attacks. Maybe criticise his visions for OPM. Not for his work in the past and definitely not asking questions knowing that he cant answer them due to NDA.

Your argument starts and dies by stating that "most directors in Anime" worked in Hentai.
False. Made up. Not true.


With that out of the way I want you to imagine your favorite Movie, right now.

Now.... who should make a Sequel for that awesome piece of Entertainment?
Kubrick? Scorsese? Tarantino?.....Or some rando who works in Porn?^^
Exactly.

This is such a nothing "argument", considering you're trying to frame Nagai as if he ONLY worked on hentai and nothing else, despite the fact that the last time he actually directed one was over an entire decade ago, and he has a lot of other recognized series that he worked on, such as Jojo, Dr. Stone and Psycho-Pass.

If you're going to talk about his career at large, actually examine his work as a whole instead of hyperfocusing on one specific point of his +20 career just to demerit him. That's just being an arse.
