Wow, Sword of Stranger and Hanasaku Iroha, 2 completely different series from the same person!
But of course both has godly animation!

Thanks for great direction in Hanasaku Iroha!

This man's directing in Sword of the Stranger is one of the most amazing things I've ever seen. Aside from that, Hanasaku Iroha is one of my favorite shows as well. God bless him.
