I can't think of many anime directors

I am never sure whom should I thank specifically for the magic that's been happening. Shinbo is one, for stuff like Tenamonya, I guess. Oonuma Shin is another guy who seems like a safe target for my praise. Ryouichimo, too? Who else... oh, yeah, the dude with Mizu no Kotoba and Pale Cocoon. He's cool.
>>116934281
Shinbo and Ikuhara come to mind
Isao Takahata
Osamu Dezaki
Junichi Sato
Tatsuya Igarashi
Rie Matsumoto
Kunihiko Ikuhara
Tsutomu Mizushima
Satoshi Kon
Mamoru Oshii
Hayao Miyazaki
Keiichi Hara
Akiyuki Shinbo
Mamoru Hosoda
Masaaki Yuasa
If OPs question was who is the best studio this thread would have 100 posts by now. Sasuga /a/.
>>116934281
Imagawa
Masaaki Yuasa and Satoshi Kon are the absolute geniuses of the craft.

This show should of been about a genius prodigy director but he is a complete lazy ass and the office has to trick and deal with him to make him work.
And the reason why people like working under him is because the stories he makes are so good that animators and stuff just want to do it.

That adaptation that matsumoto is doing in 2015 with bones looks pretty bad. Who knows maybe she can make it enjoyable.I was disappointed to read that she was doing it somewhat though.
>>116935123
It would be nice if imagawa got more work but I suppose he isn't interested in directing what sells at the moment and thus finds it difficult to get anything.
>>116935205
He is a genius prodigy director who had a huge fuck up and then couldn't get any work. I like the backstory you know he should have potential and it makes him an underdog you can root for while beingfrustrated with his laziness . He has something to prove. It gives the guy more depth than if he were just the greatest director ever.
Mamoru Hosoda
No particular order
Satoshi Kon
Mamoru Hosoda
Masaaki Yuasa
Ryutaro Nakamura
Rin Taro
Yoshiaki Kawajiri
Hiroyuki Kitakubo
Katsuhiro Otomo
Mamoru Oshii
Hiroyuki Imaishi
Hideaki Anno
Kazuya Tsurumaki
Shinichiro Wantanabe
I don't pay attention to which gook makes my cartoons
The cutest.

Why not?(The staff on a show is the best indicator of if it will be any good. I would bet that without even knowing a number of your favourites have shared staff.
>>116934281
Oshii, too.
>>116935808
Why is she wearing clothes that are several times too big for her? Is it some /fa/ thing I wouldn't get?
Everyone who has been on this board before 2008 is aware of the rampant cancer that is currently infesting 4chan and all of the entry level boards like /a/, /v/, /pol/, /co/, and /fit/.
Your average page 0 on /a/ is almost always 49% porn, moe, waifu faggotry (basically just porn.) and 50% cancer, battle shonen threads, entry level moe threads, bad trolling attempts, failed doubles etc. There is about 1% manga threads on page 0 each day, and 99.9% of the times it is either entry level (Berserk) or cancer (HxH, Bleach, One Piece).
All of the oldfags who watched good anime like Cowboy Bebop, Ghost in the Shell, Trigun, LoGH (before it became meme cancer), Nakamura works, Kon works, Evangelion (before it became meme cancer) have moved on from this board to /r9k/ or other oldfag boards. What's left is a constant barrage of cancerous newfags and their participation in memethreads like SnK and JoJo generals.
Further proof of the cancer is easy to find. /a/ is the NUMBER 1 board where anons post using the noun "/a/" in some random generalization, even more so than /v/. You can't even say you haven't seen "what does /a/ think of this" "why does /a/ hate this" in the last 24 hours.
The answer is newfags. It's time for chemotherapy. What I propose to moot and the moderators through this post is a simple solution to this rampant cancer. First, split /a/ into two parts, one for newfag cancer and one for oldfags. The newfag cancer board is permitted to have memethreads like moe, porno, battle shonens, monogatari, madoka, etc. The oldfag thread will only discuss good anime and manga, at a precise 50/50 ratio. Any participant of /newa/ will be ID tagged by the 4chan system, and will be permanantly banned if they ever attempt to visit /olda/ without first completing a 10 Question Test on Ghost in the Shell philosophy. If they fail, they will be redirected to /newa/ and permanantly banned from /olda/.
Simply post in this thread to show your support for this change in 4chan.
>>/v/
What does this meme even mean exactly? Newfags adopt this meme really quickly to seem superior to other meme retards, when in fact that is the hypocrisy. Neo meme idiots need to take their moe and get banned with the mono gatari. They need to go and stop making retarded memes of good anime and read some manga. They are 12 years old at best. This is a real problem.
They create retarded memes that arent't real, they arent on ED, they aren't on the database. They are neo retard memes. Delete board culture. Delete memes. Delete madoka. Delete madoka. Delete madoka. Delete moe. This is the mandate. We will not be stopped.
Note that there are moderators and janitors on 4chan who only have seen 5 moe cancer anime, or Mahouka cancer anime. Yet they control the board. This is because it is a newfag moderator. Note that this is not a mods suck meme, this is not a meme this is the truth THEY are newfags. Its time to take a stand against the cancer. I volunteer to be the first oldfag moderator of these new boards.

My nig
Mandatory tripcodes are also highly recommended to prevent samefagging. A common newfag tactic usually looks like this.
1. Post meme on page 0
2. Samefag 5-8 times to make people think its funny.
3. Profit
Tripcodes force anons to take responsibility for any potentially unwarranted or foolish commentary.
I also want to remind all posters that this change can and will happen if you support it. There is nothing to lose in cutting off cancer. What could possibly be wrong about having a good anime board for oldfag good anime discussion, and a containment board for the underage. They can frolic in the fields while good discussion goes unmolested in another dimension.
Take it easy homie.

If you like Oshii for his work on Ghost in the Shell then you also like Masayuki Yoshihara, the director of Uchouten Kazoku (he directed Stand Alone Complex: Solid State Society, as well as a bunch of episodes of both seasons of the show).
