Akane, Kazuki

Seriously tho, I'm amazed by this short list being almost entirely to my liking. Even the ones I didn't like as much, I absolutely respect. I feel this guy puts a lot of not just effort, but deep, painful thought into his work, sometimes draining him, but he seldom goes for a quick or easy solution.

Noein and Escaflowne. Not bad. From what I've seen of Heat Guy J I'm not impressed.

I haven't seen Code Geass, however I have had the ending spoiled to me, which from what I understand knowing the ending kills any watching potential.

Very interested in this new take on Geass though. Once all 4 OVAs/movies are out I'll give them a go.

My fucking god. Just finished Noein Mou Hitori no Kimi e and what the fuck. You creeping maniac. SHIT.

birdy, noein, escaflowne, geass ovas i still need to see but dayum those were all good (hope geass ova can compare)

I'm sorry for all the haters who didn't like Code Geass but personally I thought the show was great and yes I did look at it from another angle than just "Oh this looks great." Taniguchi Goro has some great shows under his belt and Geass is one of them.

Akane as his work cut out for him though, he doesn't have Lelouch in the series and his style is vastly different than Goro's. Some think it's good but his job is to please the fans of the series not those who didn't like it to start with so yeah some endeavor indeed. Hopefully he'll do a fine job at satisfying the fans as well as reeling in some new ones to the series.

My only concern is that when it's done it might no longer feel like Geass.
