Name a major creator figure in the industry who is actually a cool person and isn't
- A grouchy over-opinionated hypocrite (Anno, Miyazaki, Oshii, Tomino)
- An Edgelord (Urobuchi, Miura, Hirano, Hiroe, Togashi)
- A Cuckoolander (Ikuhara, Kawamori, Toriyama, Araki)
- A hack (too many to list)

How is that a problem?
Kiyohiko Azuma (Azumanga, Yotsuba&!)
>>157931711
I feel like Azuma might be kind of a jerk IRL.
>>157930888
Araki and Toriyama seem like pretty cool guys, regardless of being insane.

How is Kawamori crazy?

I want to kill that stupid motherfucker. He needs to die.
>>157930888
Good luck finding a creator in any medium who doesn't fall into one of these. (Kon isn't an exception, odds are he's just better at hiding his powerlevel.)

ZUN (Touhou)
>>157930888
Why bother listing Hiroe? He's in the hack category.
>>157931711
He's a dick that got upset that Azumanga's adaptation got more popular than the manga. That's the reason Yotsuba will never have one.

Eiichiro Oda. Go ahead, find a flaw in this man. You can't, can you?
A lot of anime directors, hell, directors in general really, be it game, or movies, are characters since you kinda need to be one to be in a position of power, especially one in who is leading a group of creatives.

Naoko Yamada is the cutest and coolest anime director you'll ever meet.

Nobuhiro Watsuki is a personal favorite mangaka of mines because reading a lot of his author notes in the Rurouni Kenshin and Buso Renkin manga volumes give me the impression that he's a genuine humble and cool guy

Leave anime to me.
-Not a hack

What's this about Shinbo being a lolicon?
>creative = passionate = strong opinions
theres a reason the people at the top have strong personalities
>>157943534
Passion and creativity are two different things, I think. There are mountains of people downright obsessive over anime/manga and yet only a handful can create anything good. You're half-right though because people in this industry would presumably tend to be passionate about it.
Naoki Urasawa (Monster, 20th Century Boys, Pluto, Billy Bat)
Takehiko Inoue (Slam Dunk, Vagabond, REAL)
Tsutomu Nihei (Blame!, NOiSE, Knights of Cydonia, Biomega)
Masakazu Katsura (I's, Video Girl Ai, Zetman)
Junji Ito (Uzumaki ,Gyo, Tomie)
>>157943534
You don't need to be full of yourself just because you're a successful man
>no Dezaki
I really shouldn't expect /a/ to have any semblance of taste.
Shinbou liked having Oshino Meme back, and they tried to make him as cool they could.
When he was reading the Monogatari Series he wanted to know why Araragi picked Senjougahara over Hanekawa. He thinks the relationships between those three might change.
lolicon?
>>157944914
If it´s really as you say then he´s got truly patrician taste.
What's wrong with Toriyama?
>no Anno
>>157930888
Junji Ito is surprisingly sane for a person who created Uzumaki.
>>157930888
Makoto Shinkai?

Does he smoke pot?

Junichi Sato is the man.

I agree with you, but he isn't a major figure in the Anime and Manga industry.

OP post is shit but Oshii really fall so low. Literally jew.
Sorachi seems pretty chill though I doubt he's a major player in the industry.
>>157930888
Urobuchi isn't an edgelord, he's about spreading love and hope. He also happens to be a nice person.

This. He isn't an edgelorg in a traditional sense anyway.
>>157952803
He writes manga and Touhou is still big.
Should count.
>>157954657
This. Testing values through extreme situations doesn't make you an edgelord, it just means you're not afraid of considering the scenario
>>157932647
>implying he isn't a nice guy
Anyone who met him when he was alive said he was a geninuely nice guy. He had a TV show that ran for decades teaching kids to like themselves for who they are even though he could have Christfag the show up.
Plus he is one of the major direct reason people can rip your BDs because greedy assholes wanted to get rid of recording media like the Betamax due IP issues and he argued against it even though it might have made more money arguing for it.
Plus he had the best sweaters and sneakers too.
>>157930888
>A Cuckoolander

Well, It's the 11th best selling Seinen of all time (including in the list Shonen turned in Seinen, like Jojo or Captain Tsubasa), so, yeah.
>>157953575
OP said creators. But yeah, Chiwa hasn't said or done anything retarded from what I've heard, so she's all right.
