Comments:
As far as I'm concerned, Takahashi Naohito is the best overall
Japanese director. Some people at Gainax may have a slight edge
when it comes to the classic meaning of anime, but Takahashi-san
is also well aware of the anime art AND his dramatic presentations
are far more natural. For example, the fighting scene in Mahoromatic
in the last episode was obviously designed to make the viewers feel
certain way. In the end, it was more-or-less meaningless. Not only
that, Takahashi-san is far ahead of other directors when it comes to
keeping up with the technology. He can use the latest technology
while keeping the look and feel of the traditional animation. That
can't be done without knowing both processes well. Sad to say, but
Daichi Akitarou is probably the worst (among the otherwise good
directors) when it comes to keeping up with the technology.
I can't wait to see the final 2 discs.
