9 Anime's Greatest Directors: Writer's Picks

If you ask the general public to name anyone associated with anime, they’re almost certain to name a certain director – Miyazaki Hayao. But for anime fans themselves, the director is a crucial component of anime success that’s too often overlooked.

Wow, most of my favorite anime have been directed by him - Fruits Basket, Now and Then Here and There, Kamisama Kiss, Kodocha...Love his sense of humor. He has a signature style too - I didn't know Kamisama was directed by him, but just from its sense of humor and use of cutaways, I could tell it was directed by the same director as Kodocha and Fruits Basket.

Kamisama Hajimemashita and Kodocha were brillant.
Fruits Basket was okay tho

so many of his works I hear good things ab, how Kodoccha influenced Kare Kano (which is just the greatest romance ever), how Ojarumaru is one of the best magic show, how Ima Soko ni Iru is one of the hidden gems of the last decade....
Pity I have procrastinated for so long, all I watched is Fruits Basket, and it's still one of the most memorable watch of mine EVER.

Shuzo Matsutani from ''Legendz: Yomigaeru Ryuuou Densetsu'' is confirmed to be Shuuzou Matsutani from ''Now and then, Here and there''. Akitarou Daichi wanted Shuuzou to have a fun adventure without suffering. This is just genius

Thank you for creating the (near) masterpiece called "Now and Then, Here and There".

But damn you for not spicing it up with any Abelia fanservice, you conservative b*stard! That's all the story ever really needed to become fully mature & stimulating!
