Where does Ikuhara go when he isn't making a show? Because the guy seems to just disappear when he isn't working on something. He made Utena back in 97, then outside of a short manga and supervising the Utena movie dub, no one heard from him until Penguindrum was announced. And now there's bears, which he apparently has been working on since a little after Penguindrum.
The guy just vanishes off the face of the earth for years at a time only to come back and say "I have a new show". Where is he hiding?
On the moon.Or in Uranus

I seem to recall him going to the US and studying film after Utena.

I can just imagine that conversation after Utena
>Hey Hideaki, can I crash here while I find my muse?
>I guess, but how long do you plan to stay?
>I was thinking somewhere in the neighborhood of 14 years.

He becomes Sailor Mars and protects the peace of the world.

Wasn't this supposed to get an anime?

This
For example, he did the storyboard for this ED(the only good thing coming out from this show): www.youtube.com/watch?v=xqiTzrcxFyc

This could be the best sitcom ever, also the most homoerotic

Why is this ED so much better than Yurikuma's OP and ED?
>>119903248
Because KISS KISS KISS I NEED YOUR LOVE
>>119903248
Ikuhara didn't direct YKA's OP
He did the ending though, that qt dancing bear is the best thing about the show.

I knew it !

I wish.
But no.
Something I just discovered: if you write いくはら in Google IME, the second result is 幾原邦彦 (and no, it wasn't in my history; that was the first time I wrote it.)

He sucks Anno's dick for cash
>>119903999
And this is supposed to be a discovery?
>>119902742
You sound mad.

Google's IME is pretty clever. It predicts a lot of famous Japanese people's names.
