[Poll] Japanese Creatives

[Derringer]

I like Amano, Osamu Dezaki and Osamu Tezuka, Tada and Toriyama are both alright along with Doraemon.

Imagine how amazing Yoko Taro would be if he wasn't retarded on purpose

he's alright. Drakengard was a pain to direct (and he ended up being as director just because the previous one had resigned/been fired), so he made the big bux and now he just makes gacha. He's living his best life and already did everything he could or wanted to do.

Poll says Miyazaki but is in the RPG forum. You would think Hidetaka rather than Hayao, but the OP probably doesn't even know who he is.

Jason Liang do you research the subject at hand before making a poll about it?
I mean for starters you have manga and anime artists in there, yet you've made this poll in the japanese videogames board.
So what is it? Is the poll about japanese artists or japanese game designers?
But either way they're quite incomplete...

I don't see what's so great about Satoshi Kon's works. They're technically impressive, but what else?

For this one I wanted a poll with Anno, TADA and Satoshi Kon - I was thinking a lot about all 3 that year (Rance X had come out, NGE was in the media because of the Netflix release, and I'm constantly thinking about Satoshi Kon). Having watched a few documentaries about Anno, Kon and TADA, I don't see the responsibilities of an animated film director, manga artist or a video game director to be so different.

Kojima, TADA, Yoko Taro and Swery often get "auteur" labels, so there's that.

Just the ambitiousness and skill of the storytelling. Everything especially writing, structure and editting. Millennium Actress is one of my favorite films and a masterpiece, and I didn't even get what happens in the actual story until my 6th time watching it or so. He just made animated films that could only exist as animation - you can't make Perfect Blue, Millennium Actress or Paprika in a live action film. Also Kon's aesthetic sensibilities (which I guess can be said for many of the directors on the poll) - using music by Hirasawa Susumu is sublime.

Kojima is the most handsome 60 year old on Earth

Voted Akira Toriyama in the absence of Yu Suzuki. Don't know who most of those other guys are, and the few names I recognize are complete fags, except for Tezuka but I don't care much for his work. Miyazaki is a gay nigger.

Does N-in-Out exist in Japan or does Kojima hang out in California a lot?

YU SUZUKI of course, the man was synonymous with SEGA from the late 80s to the early 2000s when he helped sink the company with his megalomaniacal magnum opus, Shenmue.
