Great director. Because of him, even kid series like Digimon is very enjoyable to watch because the combat is really good and all the atmosphere for those scenes are great too. As an adult , I have no trouble binging 01 02 04 06 despite the occasional childish story-telling. (But deep down there're some mature morale in certain episodes)
