Non Non Biyori was okay

A second season of Tanaka-kun is a must.
Tanaka-kun and non-non biyori, 2 of my favourites by same director. He needs to direct more.

Sakurada Reset was amazing. I'd love to see him direct more shows like that.

He is the guy that saved Silver Link. The few good animes Silver Link ever made was basically all directed by him, the most outstanding one being Non Non Biyori

This guy is underrated, all his directing work is great (yes, sakurada reset too) but kokoro connect lacks his style, probably because oonuma had the lead on that one.

Nothing against Oonuma but he's kinda boring, he can't turn silver link into a well known studio on his own

Inching closer to Junichi Satou

Based on both Tanaka-kun and Non Non Biyori, he seems to have a great grasp on mixing light-hearted comedy with pure ambience. I might have to keep an eye on him.
