Aoki Ei doesn't always stick the landing for everything he makes, but I respect him as one of the creators who is consistently making original anime.

ID: Invaded and Fate/Zero are distinctly similar in style, I'm honestly surprised both aren't written by Urobuchi.

New original anime from Troyca. Hopefully, he is the director.

It's been two years since the last Ei Aoki anime. I need an anouncement soon.

Nasu: In Kara no Kyoukai, the first story, "Overlooking View" (俯瞰風景) is the clumsiest. I've always thought I wanted to do something about it, and I told a staff member, "If we're making this into a movie, I'm going to rewrite the first story; please let me do that." But he said, enthusiastically, "No, I want to work with it the way it is. I want to animate this!"

ID: Invaded was easily my AOTY 2020, and almost became my favorite work from him. There's something so special about it, I'm not sure how to explain it holy shit.
