You forgot Macross Plus.
>>157314180
Hiroyuki Okiura
Because Jin Roh is the GOAT
Because Kawajiri is objectively better.
Anno because I like robots and cute girls
>>157315269
and Watanabe is objectively cooler
It's probably Satoshi Kon but Watanabe is good too.
>>157314180
He would be if champloo didn't suck balls
>>157315343
>implying
>>157314180
Bebop and Champloo are good
Space Dandy is overrated and not very good, and every episode had a different director anyway
>>157315357
shut up fag champloo is great
I honestly feel like on a whole Watanabe's overrated as a director. He uses music well and he can create memorable scenes, but overall he's kind of safe. Servicable, absolutely, but I dunno if I'd say exceptional.
To answer the question, Rie Matsumoto. I've only seen Kekkai Sensen, but it was really interesting and unique without feeling too "tryhard". Sort of like Yuasa, but without resorting to art/animation style to try to stand out.
I still don't understand how the hell did Zankyou no Terror happen. I know even the greatest directors sometimes mess up, but how do you mess up this badly?

The writing sucked, but everything else was really good (ignore the horrible engrish).
Because it's Tsutomu Mizushima.
It's Tsutomu Mizushima because Imagawa barely does anything anymore, and I like fun.
>>157317206
But he's the one behind this whole project, isn't he? He should have had some control over the writing.
>>157316902
are you a girl or just really effeminate
>>157317354
That's true, it's not like he's free of any responsibility for it; it's just that people like to shit on it because the story was retarded, but the directing was fantastic, the animation was fantastic, the backgrounds were fantastic and the music was fantastic. If the writing was even passably entertaining it'd be at least a 7/10 to me.
>>157317360
no and not especially
>>157314180
Yuasa followed by Omori and then Tomino.
>>157315242
Didn't know Watanabe did Plus. Really should check it out.
>>157317240
>Because it's Tsutomu Mizushima.
I don't understand this opinion at all. Even his good stuff isn't that good.
Just how involved was Watanabe in Space Dandy? I know he wrote the first and last ep but i always figured Shingo Natsume was the real guy behind SD.
>>157317050
Terror was great, except for Helter Skelter and Five.
>>157319412
Watanabe was the chief director. Natsume was the series director.
>>157315242
Honestly the only Watanabe show I like. All the others frustrate me in one way or another even though I love the style and concepts of all of them.
Because there's better.
I'm also not a normalfag who circlejerks over his shows all the time and complain about "moeshit" like the majority of his fans.
>>157320252
Then name what's "better" or shut the fuck up, fag.
>>157314180
the moment i started paying attention to directors was when i saw Kyousougiga, and Kekkai Sensen has proved to be the best direction i've seen since, so i'll say Matsumoto Rie. really, bones as a whole has a ton of works with fantastic direction.
Sakamichi was definitely well directed, but the source material was shit and Watanabe failed to be creative enough when adapting it. i didn't finish Space Dandy, but based on what i remember of it, Kekkai Sensen essentially took all the good aspects of it and improved on them.
>>157320641
Kekkai Sensen was fucking garbage, what are you talking about?
>>157320296
satoshi kon
>>157315217
RIP
>>157315217
Why did he have to die?
>>157320296
Hosoda, Yamada or Hara.
I want to ____ Fuu
