I find missing writing credits for this dude all the time, though I don't think any of the ones I've added have been updated yet. Doesn't help that he writes under like 5 dif names and lots of the shows he worked on are older/less popular, I guess. Anyway he's the man.

FMA 2003 and Genocyber are fucking shit. Kamen Rider Blade is cool, though.

One of the best scriptwriters in anime. His writing is fantastic, multilayered, and thought provoking.

FMA 2003 was and might still be my favorite anime of all time and I can't thank him enough for being the head writer

I'm sorry but I can't muster up any excitement for this dude as a screenwriter. The themes he wants to talk about are interesting but they are usually interesting to talk about outside of the shows he worked on. Once I start to actually watch anything original from him I become either extremely bored (Ayashi), confused by his convoluted writing (E7 AO, 2nd half of the original FMA) or both (ConRevo) overtime. The exception this was his work on "Un-Go" which is the best thing he has worked on in my opinion.

One of the most interesting writers in anime, as well as one of my favorites.

So many fantastic works that have a lot to say about the nature of morality as well as the political nature of the world we live in. UN-GO especially I think is extremely on point about how important information is and how it can be manipulated by those in power. How Neo Ranga covers racial profiling and mass media sensationalism is another one that stands out to me.

His historical pieces are also some of my favorites in all of anime. FMA 03 and Concrete Revolutio are some ingenious pieces of metafiction that cover 1900s history in a very clever way while also including a lot of aspects that are still relevant now. In fact, I'd argue Concrete Revolutio is one of the most relevant anime in recent years due to the current political climate. Even the less relevant Ghost Slayers Ayashi, still has interesting things to say on the importance of fiction and Japan's relations with foreign cultures back in the 1800s.

Not everything with his name on it is a masterpiece, of course (Chaos Dragon, most of his old OVA work), but that doesn't take away from the incredible stuff he's done for anime as a medium. His works may be alienating and messy to others, but to me, I wouldn't have them any other way. I love stuff that's dense because those have high rewatch value for me.

I look forward to seeing some of his other works as well as his tokusatsu work in the future.
