Yeah, would like to have seen these guys on there too especially the first three which I've seen a bunch of stuff from that I've loved. I'm glad Seiji Mizushima made it on, he's one of my favorites, absolutely loved both the first FMA (second was great too ofcourse) and Gundam 00. Oh Edo Rocket was good too, plus Dai Guard was a lot of fun, I've liked most of the shows he's done it seems. Totally looking forward to his upcoming movie. Also, weirdly didn't realize he was the director for Shaman King until seeing it listed there just now even though I'd looked at his encyclopedia page on numerous occasions. |

Purple: I'd vouch for Ikuhara, too, if the World of S+M wasn't a mess, and if Penguindrum had a more consistent tone to it. He does have talent, but in my eyes, he hasn't been able to surpass Utena.
luffy: Takahata is older than Miyazaki, and we're just lucky to have one more film out of him. Enigmatic:
That's pretty much the story of his "career" in animation in general.

How do you spoiler tag on here again. Anyways without spoiling it your last question answers your first. Like I said, the list was favorite not best, I think too many people look at it and think best. I don't think half the movies in my top ten favorites would qualify as what is considered best film material but they have something that appeals to me. Although the easy answer is he has the last name Miyazaki, and a lot of people just want will him to at least have half the magic of his father. Also I was not aware of Goro ever speaking poorly about Hayao, in fact it was just the opposite where Hayao was not pleased about Goro becoming a director. |

Oh wow yamakan is on this list. That's kinda funny.
And I frankly can't imagine why people voted Goro, even enough times to warrant him nr 1 placement. His movies goes nowhere slow. |

I had to check 3 times to believe Satoshi Kon wasn't on this list. Does he not count because he's dead? He's post Miyazaki either way though. I've heard he's not as popular in Japan as he is in the western world but I'm surprised as all hell Shinichiro Watanabe wasn't there either.

Puso: Unfortunately, even if Kon was still alive, he'd not be on the list, because he was never a success in Japan.

Really? That's a damn shame then, 'cause aside from Paranioa Agent it doesn't feel to me like his work is all that well known in the United Stated either. That might just be because I could be sorta on the younger side as far as Kon fans go. |

Ok, that made me laugh. Wait, why would he even make the list? As a director, he does great closer and openers, shows and movies, not so much. And if it's a scene of just people talking, he'll kill the audience... With boredom. Well, that was my impression from the first four episodes of Lucky Star, the ones he directed. The other 22? They were better. And he was still one behind Shinbo, someone actually talented. With a real body of work. So like so many others, I'll pick "Other". Yeah, question: If the poll was designed so that people would fill in a name then why have such an exact cut off point for the insignificant, or otherwise "everyone else" which would logically follow number 20 anyway? Or, what looks to me, "Other" was a choice in a fixed list of names and the name most people choose to follow Miyazaki was the name "Miyazaki". Shocking, just shocking. An anime push poll? Which features three Ghibli directors... I'm sure it's all a coincidence. Do you buy Miyamaki more as a director after this poll? I don't because I still remember being underwhelmed by his work. |

Absolutely on Nakamura and Matsumoto they are both really amazing. I would also really like to see Yamamoto get some more work. Not to mention the director of free. ISHIZUKA is also an amazing director, they really turned sakurasou around quickly not to mention their work on supernatural, I am also super excited on their work on no game no life. That said can someone hide chiki kon in a deep dark hole somewhere so she will stop hurting every series she directs so much. The only series she did not kill was nodame and that was a near carbon copy of the manga and live action. And even higurashi she really screwed up at times and ryu had to go in and save the project series from her and control her. And I am pretty sure the author of toradora did that with golden time given the sharp increase in quality from the second book onward. Not to even mention magnus opus of horrible umineko, or àrcania famalia. The lady should only be allowed to work on yoai but with free and other shows trying to high quality shows for that audience there might not be any room left for her anymore. |

Exactly this. Shinkai Makoto does not know how to write stories. He knows how to write longing and loneliness in an extremely relatable way, and damn if his art isn't beautiful, but his narratives are very weak. I finally saw Children Who Chase Lost Voices a few days ago, and quite honestly it comparatively made me really appreciate Tales from Earthsea as a pretty good anime fantasy movie. Shinkai seems best at stories in a short format where all we have to care about is the characters; I actually like Garden of the Words more than anything else he's done. In other news, I can kind of see why Goro got the votes he did; Poppy Hill was great, and he shows a ton of promise. Miyazaki is by and far the most popular Japanese director there is, and his son looks like he's going to be able to quite competently continue the Ghibli spirit (along with Yonebashi, we can hope). Even if his films aren't yet quite at his father's level (and he only has two films so far, so this is very difficult to judge), they are still very Ghibli, and that means a lot to people. |

Japan isn't really crazy about psychological anime, which was his MO. But yes, the late Satoshi Kon certainly deserves to at least be in the top 20 (as does Watanabe and Ikuhara...but I can't really say who they would bump out) |

I think he's trying to make some connection between Hayao Miyazaki and Tsutomu Miyazaki (a serial rapist and killer) even though they have nothing to do with each other except having the same incredibly common surname so normally nobody would associate them?? UM!
I wonder if Ikuhara and Watanabe aren't here because they're not nearly as prolific as guys like, say, Shinbo? A lot of the names here are people who are releasing new content every year or so, while both Watanabe and my homeboy Ikuhara only returned to directing after decade-long periods of nothing! |

They aren't? No wonder you see so little of it these days. If this were my list I'd have him at number 1, but yes choosing someone to take off would be hard. Hideaki Anno might be one I'd strike, 'cause while Evangelion is a masterpiece (my personal favorite anime of all time) I don't find the rest of his body of work as a director outside the Eva franchise that amazing. I haven't really seen all of it though.... |
