Most directors are lucky to make 1 or 2 good anime. Dezki has like 6 masterpieces across different genres. How can anyone compete? The absolute GOAT

No fucking way, his shows are massive clusterfucks full of poor planning and shit made up on the spot.
Connor Lee
The one and only.

For me, it's them.
Dezaki was a pioneer in the world of anime and his distinct signature styles/techniques such as the "postcard memories" continue to be an influence to anime today. I think the biggest thing with Dezaki was how incredible he was at actually adapting and utilizing those techniques of his on bigger anime projects. He basically made a visual "vocabulary" of techniques in his works, expecially Ashita No Joe and Rose of Versailles.
James Martinez
i'm sorry, were we talking about writers?
Leo Thompson
I liked the visual direction in episode 49 of Naruto Shippuden

>Dezaki was a pioneer in the world of anime
Nah he wasn't
Cameron Morgan
>pillars of the anime industry

>Ashita No Joe and Rose of Versailles
I'm ashamed to say that I've never watched any of them
Elijah Rodriguez
Why? Someone post his credentials.
Brody Richardson
Shinichi Watanabe aka Nabeshin (Excel Saga, Puni Puni Poemy, Dotto Koni-Chan).
Aiden Martinez
The middle row is reddit as fuck. Who's top left and top middle?
Bentley Hughes
watch joe, nobodys boy remi, and space cobra, those are the good ones. Golgo 13 is also pretty good except for that one scene
Wyatt Gray
Satan
Austin Long
It's also the responsibility of the director, if not even moreso
Brandon Cook
"Postcard memories" were his trademark, and they're still used to this day. KYS.
Josiah Torres
all his movies are so slow and boring and they dont even kiss at the end. I liked garden of words OKAY, but other than visuals it wasn't really better than any other sappy anime romance
Christian Barnes
>Roses of Versailles
>not good
Holy filtered
Justin Gonzalez
>Someone post his credentials.
Lame love stories. "Your name" and "Weathering with you" are his works.
Mason Perez
>those are the good ones
Charles White
Couldn't have said it better myself. Dezaki did a superb adaptation of Nobody's Boy: Remi. Putting into it italian neorealism where he presents the hard reality of its people, Opera dramaturgy & clear elements influenced by Luchino Visconti as Dezaki is a fan of worldwide cinema.
Bentley Martinez
Joe is fantastic but the first series aged kinda bad - lots of weird closeups, weak animation, trumpets and awkward sound in general. The fights were incredible and the story itself is also great. The second series, made in the 80s, has none of the problems and is just pure good.
Rose of Versailles is an absolute masterpiece. Good animation for the time, incredible soundtrack. It aged beautifully.
Caleb Hall
Akiyuki Shinbo because he likes spooky blonde lolis
Adam Morris
anno had the greatest impact on the industry. rei is literally the reason for merch, shes the character that made everyone realize money can be made this way.
Christian Morgan
He was consistently great in a way I think only him and Miyazaki have been. But "like 6 masterpieces" is a stretch, and other directors peaked higher, including Miyazaki. That's my opinion, anyway. He's top 5 for sure.
Samuel Walker
Both Shinbo and Ikuhara surpassed Dezaki
Kevin Rogers
That old man is so good holy crap
Every episode turns into kino

>Kenji Nakamura hasn't made a single new anime since 2015
I weep at that everyday.
Nathan Green
Ikuhara fell off. His last two works were awful.
Kayden Jones
I respect your opinion but they were very good and I enjoyed them very much.
Jaxon Davis
They're used as excuses to cut corners on animation. If anything Dezaki is known for making the prettiest Powerpoint presentations.
Evan Johnson
>he didn't like the gay bears
Henry Wilson
Wrong.
Jaxson Sanchez
Top left is the Lain and Kino guy, I forget his name.
Kayden Cook
Anno literally shaped the otaku fandom in the late 90's and beyond. Many of beloved characters from different anime shows were inspired by his characters.
Jordan Reed
He fell off so bad that he's crawled back to Penguindrum.
Chase Martinez
Dezaki's first Joe adaptation expands on the manga's story and themes in a meaningful way, influencing Chiba himself. Ashita no Joe 2 nearly butchers the original with it's awkward changes to the story. It becomes something else, that is definitely still good, but it doesn't carry the same weight..
Brody Hall
Nice collage of creators, it would have been perfect if you have included Eiichi Yamamoto with them
Ayden Morales
Those are just compilation movies. He's currently doing some weird music project
Luis Harris
>Those are just compilation movies.
Even worse. What's there to revisit?
Owen White
Is that so? Guess I should pick up the manga then.
Dylan Ross
>Ashita no Joe 2 nearly butchers the original with it's awkward changes to the story.
What changes? Aside from nigger that plays cards
Josiah Lewis
Being set in the 80s
Rushed Carlos arc
Nishi staying a cornerman till the end
Joe donating blood before fighting Kim (wtf?)
Softened Joe and Yoko's relationship a lot, also ultimately making Yoko less complex (they removed various inner monologues of her)
Softened Joe and Mendoza's rivalry slightly
Filler and additions to the story aren't meaningful
Overall, Joe 2 becomes more of a melancholic melodrama instead of the harsh but incredibly meaningful and poignant final manga volumes
To be fair, 80s Japan had changed a lot from the time of Joe's story and so I understand trying to do something different (also to not just walk behind the manga's footsteps), but I feel Ashita no Joe lost more than it gained in retrospect. Oh well, it's still good.
Aiden Howard
havent seen it t b h
Colton Edwards
this, peeple hate on this show for being "torture porn" but it's actually just a really well done, really sad story, much more genuinely emotional than most modern anime
Aiden Lewis
>poor planning and shit made up on the spot.
Feel free to name one (1) example.
Jose Cox
Dezaki was a genius, he had such a great sense of style
Parker Allen
Ace wo Nerae is so fucking good too, the only Dezaki I've yet to watch is Kaze no Stigma but I might this winter.
Its like after Joe 1 and Ace wo Nerae 1 he changed and his style went through the roof.
Isaac Scott
It's funny because neorealism was more like Takahata's thing but Dezaki did it fairly well and added his distinctive warmth and visuals too. Apparently this anime was made with a 3d effect gimmick in mind too (the producer's idea) which was eventually dropped but explains the unique look of the early episodes.
Jaxson Sanders
everybody is so afraid of him
Connor Long
I'd call this thread bait or something, but I just finished watching Rose of Versailles and Oniisama e back to back, and they're now 2 of my favorites ever.
Asher Richardson
Cutting corners in inventive ways isn't a critique, that's a compliment. Believe it or not but anime directors are limited in what they can do by their budget and production schedule, if you can come up with creative ways to convey things that save time and money that's a positive rather than a negative.
Ethan Mitchell
I don't put too much value in directors.
Henry Moore
To be fair Dezaki got insanely lucky and pretty much only got to adapt manga masterpieces. Just watch Shuranosuke Zanmaken.
Lucas Nelson
Imagine knowing any of these random old Asian men
