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.

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.

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.

>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.
