Indiferent dacă sunteți veteran sau nou în scena anime, probabil că ați întâlnit OVA-uri (animație video originală). Spre deosebire de seriale anime obișnuite, aceste OVA sunt adesea seriale scurte care variază în funcție de modul în care sunt realizate aceste OVA. Aceste OVA pot fi episoade scurte care durează doar 5 minute sau episoade lungi care pot dura aproape o oră în 5 episoade sau mai multe. Indiferent de modul în care sunt produse aceste OVA, primim adesea OVA-uri de calitate excelentă, fie că sunt episoade suplimentare din serialul anime preferat sau episoadele care au făcut din OVA un anime de sine stătător. Cu o mulțime de OVA-uri grozave, este dificil să alegi pe care să le urmărești. Din fericire, suntem aici pentru a vă ajuta! Iată primele 10 OVA-uri pe care ar trebui să le verificați!

Călătoria lor îi conduce la Tokyo, sau ce a mai rămas din Tokyo, care a fost distrus de ploaia acidă. Pe măsură ce s-au implicat în cursa pentru supraviețuire cu localnicii, grupul descoperă brusc revelațiile lor care îi schimbă pentru totdeauna. Tsubasa Chronicles Tokyo Revelations este până acum unul dintre cele mai bune OVA pentru această serie. Acoperă arcul Tokyo din manga și urmărește foarte bine evenimentele din manga. Povestea a fost bine scrisă, iar unele răsturnări de situație ți-au ținut mintea în mișcare. A existat o dezvoltare a caracterului pentru Sakura, deoarece vedem cât de mult a crescut de când a început prima călătorie pentru a-și căuta penele. Nu numai că, acesta ar putea fi singurul OVA în care vedem întreaga distribuție a unui anime CLAMP X/1999 anterior, deoarece acest anime aduce personaje din alte lucrări CLAMP. Dacă sunteți un fan al lucrărilor CLAMP, verificați acest OVA!

Cu toate acestea, ca în orice relație, există întotdeauna unele probleme pe măsură ce cei doi încep să se confrunte cu frământările lor interioare. Acest OVA va prezenta scene nemaivăzute până acum în timpul filmului Given și se concentrează pe dezvoltarea dintre Mafuyu și Ritsuka. Din moment ce a fost legat de film, cel mai bine ar fi să vizionați filmul, mai întâi, pentru a vă bucura pe deplin de acest OVA.

8. Animație video originală Hunter x Hunter

[Episoade informative=”8″difuzate=”din ianuarie 2002 până în aprilie 2002″post_id=””]

Animația video originală Hunter x Hunter are loc puțin după evenimentele din seria originală Hunter x Hunter. După ce s-a reunit cu Gon și prietenii săi, Kurapika își explică abilitățile, riscurile, poverile și responsabilitățile pe care le poartă ca singur supraviețuitor al clanului său. Odată cu Păianjenii, scopul răzbunării sale, mort, el a crezut că ar putea începe în sfârșit să adune ochii membrilor clanului său, până când un mesaj a spus că aceștia sunt, de fapt, în viață. Unul dintre cele mai bune OVA din seria Hunter x Hunter, acest OVA se concentrează mai mult pe Kurapika. Vedem o nouă latură în timp ce el se luptă să vâneze și să se răzbune pe păianjeni. Acest OVA a fost bine scris, deoarece a scos la iveală multe scene de acțiune interesante și grozave și dezvoltarea caracterului. Recomandăm cititorilor noștri să urmărească acest OVA.

7. Natsume Yuujinchou: Itsuka Yuki no Hi ni (Cartea prietenilor lui Natsume: într-o anumită zi cu zăpadă)

[sourceLink asin=””asin_jp=”B00FGTB2WK”bookwalker_id=””cdj_product_id=””text=””url=””] [Episoade de informații=”1″difuzat=”februarie 2014″post_id=””]

Natsume Yuujinchou urmărește povestea unui băiat pe nume Natsume, Takeshi, care poate vedea ayakashi sau spirite. Acest OVA spune povestea modului în care Natsume întâlnește un om de zăpadă care caută ceva cald și strălucitor într-o zi cu zăpadă. Neavând alte informații pe care să le dezvăluie, Natsume a decis să-l ajute pe omul de zăpadă să găsească ce era acel ceva. Un lucru unic la această serie este că există multe povestiri scurte în ea. Urmându-l pe Natsume, aflăm poveștile fiecărui ayakashi pe care Natsume îl întâlnește și niciuna dintre povești nu este la fel ca ultima, iar acest OVA s-a păstrat fidel acestei tendințe. Așa că, deși este bine să știi puțin despre personaje și despre decorul lor, nu este nevoie pentru a te bucura de acest OVA.

6. Mobile Suit Gundam: The Origin

[sourceLink asin=””asin_jp=”B00Q9VX3AS”bookwalker_id=””cdj_product_id=””text=””url=””] [Episoade de informații=”6″aired=”din februarie 2015 până în martie 2018″post_id=””]

Există multe seriale Gundam diferite, iar alegerea pe care să le vizionați poate fi dificilă. Dacă doriți să intrați în seria Gundam sau sunteți interesat de sci-fi și mecha, atunci Mobile Suit Gundam: The Origin poate fi cel potrivit pentru dvs. Acest OVA are loc cu ani înainte de Mobile Suit Gundam original și urmărește viața lui Char Aznable, cunoscut și sub numele de „Cometa roșie” în Mobile Suit Gundam original. Înainte de a deveni cunoscut sub numele de Char și „Cometa Roșie”, a fost cunoscut sub numele de Casval Reim Deikun. După asasinarea tatălui său, viața lui se transformă în timp ce el și sora lui luptă pentru supraviețuire și răzbunare. Deși este un prequel al seriei Mobile Suit Gundam, nu trebuie să urmăriți seria originală pentru a vă bucura de acest OVA și puteți acționa ca un anime de sine stătător în serie. Acest OVA vă poate oferi, de asemenea, un pic despre ceea ce este franciza Gundam dacă nu doriți să vizionați întreaga serie din franciză.

5. Uchuu Senkan Yamato 2199 (Star Blazers: Space Battleship Yamato 2199)

Uchuu Senkan Yamato 2199 este un anime SF plin de acțiune și dramă asemănătoare cu Ginga Eiyuu Densetsu; diferența este că, în loc de un război între două puteri, ele luptă pentru a salva Pământul. În Uchuu Senkan Yamato 2199, Pământul a devenit un pustiu pustiu după invazia rasei extraterestre, Gamilia. Echipajul Yamato, care este format din diverși oameni, de la tinere talente precum ofițerul tactic Susumu Kodau până la veterani precum căpitanul Juuzou Okita, a primit o sarcină esențială în recuperarea ultimei și singure speranțe a umanității: sistemul Cosmos Reverse de la Iscandar. Captura-ei trebuie să finalizeze această misiune în termen de un an. Cu o animație uimitoare combinată cu o poveste grozavă și o distribuție de personaje care te captivează, nu este de mirare că mulți oameni consideră că Uchuu Senkan Yamato 2199 este unul dintre cele mai bune OVA pe care le-au văzut. Dacă sunteți în căutarea unui serial de operă spațială bazată pe povești, cu o animație excelentă, vă recomandăm să vizionați Uchuu Senkan Yamato Yamato 2199.

4. Zoku Owarimonogatari

Zoku Owarimonogatari este continuarea seria Owarimonogatari și are loc după evenimentele lui Owarimonogatari. După absolvirea liceului, Kyomoi Aragi a crezut că a terminat cu viața de liceu și cu ființele exterioare. S-a gândit greșit când a fost tras brusc prin oglinda din baie și într-o altă lume, o lume inversă, și tot ce știe este invers. Acum se luptă să înțeleagă această nouă lume în timp ce încearcă să-și găsească drumul înapoi în propria sa. La fel ca și seria originală, Zoku Owarimonogatari este, de asemenea, plin de supranaturale și mister că Owarimonogatari este cunoscut. Aduce în discuție povestea finală a lui Kyomoi Aragi, așa că probabil ar fi mai bine să vizionați sau să înțelegeți întreaga serie pentru a vă bucura pe deplin de acest OVA.

3. Shingeki nu Kyojin Gaiden: Kuinaki Sentaku (Attack on Titan: No Regrets)

Ai putea spune că Shingeki no Kyojin Gaiden: Kunaki Sentaku este un prequel al seriei originale Shigeki no Kyojin. Totuși, în loc să urmărim povestea lui Eren Yeager, urmărim povestea căpitanului echipei de sondaj Levi Ackerman. Povestea lui Levi se desfășoară în acest OVA pe măsură ce aflăm cum a devenit un lider de echipă și cel mai puternic soldat al umanității. La fel ca în original, acest OVA a fost plin de scene pline de acțiune la care te-ai aștepta în Shingeki no Kyoujin. Ceea ce îl face diferit de original este că se concentrează pe trecutul lui Levi. Ne-a oferit o perspectivă asupra modului în care Levi a devenit cine este în seria originală și cum a avut un impact și în ea. Dacă nu te-ai săturat de Shingeki no Kyojin sau dacă ai fost trist să auzi vestea că serialul se va încheia în curând, de ce să nu urmărești acest OVA?

Dacă sunteți în căutarea unui samurai de acțiune, dramă și luptă cu sabia, atunci acest Rurouni Kenshin OVA ar fi cel potrivit pentru tine. Această serie OVA este un prequel și are loc înaintea seriei originale Rurouni Kenshin, înainte ca samuraiul nostru preferat, Kenshin Himura, să depună jurământul de a nu ucide. Îl urmărește despre cum a luat sabia în primul rând, cum a devenit Battousai și de ce a depus jurământul că nu va ucide. Un OVA care trebuie urmărit atât pentru fanii noi, cât și pentru cei vechi.

Final Thoughts

Besides the list above, there are still so many great OVAs that it was hard to put them all in one sitting. If we did, this list would be long, and it would take a long time to talk about how great each of them is. If there are other OVAs you would like to recommend that weren’t listed here, feel free to share them in the comments below.

Whether you’re new to anime, or are an anime aficionado, you’ll enjoy OVAs (Original Video Animation). They usually have topnotch quality, since the home video format grants more creative freedom to the writers, directors and animation teams as a whole. Also, if you’re too busy to marathon a hundred-episode series, but still want to sample the best of anime, OVAs are the way to go. Without further ado, here are the ten OVAs you’ll want to check out before anything else:

10. Denpa Teki na Kanojo

[Information episodes=”2″aired=”Feb 2009-Dec 2009″]

At first glance, this seems like your typical boy-meets-girl anime. There’s Juu Juuzawa, the antisocial high school delinquent, and Ame Ochibana, the eccentric pushy girl. Ame tells Juu that he was, in fact, a king in his previous life, while she was his knight. Understandably, Juu was freaked out by this strange declaration, and decided afterwards that he wouldn’t touch Ame with a ten-foot-pole. That is, until a friend of his gets murdered, and he realizes he needs her help to track down the killer. With a well-paced plot and clever twists packed into two 42-minute episodes, this anime will leave you wishing it’s a full-blown series.

9. Seto no Hanayome OVA (My Bride is a Mermaid OVA)

[Information episodes=”2″aired=”Nov 2008 – Jan 2009″]

If you want to laugh, and laugh, and laugh until your sides split open, this one is for you. Kicking off from the original 26-episode series, these shorts continue the (mis)adventures of Sun and Nagasumi, as they deal with third-year high school woes, damsels in distress, and other shenanigans that are bound to happen to a human-and-mermaid couple. To be honest, you won’t find a”deep”plot here. What you will find is outrageous, well-executed humor that makes the most of a 30-minute format. And isn’t that a good enough reason to watch a series like this in the first place?

8. Furi Kuri (FLCL)

[Information episodes=”6″aired=”Apr 2000 – Mar 2001″]

Okay, I have to warn you: This is one of those anime that you’ll either love to bits, or make you want to scream:”KILL IT WITH FIRE!”It’s about a typical sixth-grader named Naota Nandaba, who finds himself dealing with not-so-typical sixth-grader problems: His older brother goes to America, leaving behind a girlfriend who develops more-than-sisterly feelings towards Naota. One day, Naota gets run over by a woman on a Vespa, who hits him over the head with a bass guitar, which causes him to grow horns – and things get crazy from there. Whether you’ll appreciate this anime or not depends on your tolerance for absurdity, really. If you enjoyed series like Nichijou, Lucky Star or Joshiraku, you’ll probably enjoy this one too. Otherwise, it will just leave you scratching your head and wondering what the heck’s going on.

FLCL – Trailer – Available on DVD & BD 2.22.11 (English Dub)

7. Black Lagoon OVA: Roberta’s Blood Trail

[Information episodes=”5″aired=”un 2010 – Jun 2011″]

Think the Black Lagoon anime couldn’t get any more intense? Mai gandeste-te. This OVA cranks up the violence (and sexy shots) up to eleven. It’s basically about Roberta, a maid-slash-supersoldier who’s out for vengeance, and other characters who want to either help or stop her. You’ll probably appreciate this better if you watched the original series or read the manga, but it’s still an interesting, high-stakes cat-and-mouse story in its own right.

6. Boku no Chikyuu wo Mamotte (Please Save My Earth)

[Information episodes=”6″aired=”Dec 1993 – Sep 1994″]

Despite what the cover art may tell you, this isn’t an ordinary shoujo anime. It tells of Alice Sakaguchi, who discovers that she – along with six other classmates – is a reincarnation of a scientist tasked to observe the Earth from the moon. The seven friends decide to investigate into what this all means, only to find that their past lives have a stronger connection to their present than they realized. The art may be typical of early 90s anime, but the story isn’t. All of the seven main characters were developed so well, you’d forgive the OVA for not wrapping up the story properly (which is its only flaw, really). If you’re into character-driven stories, try this one.

Please Save My Earth (English Dub)

5. Hellsing Ultimate

[Information episodes=”10″aired=”Feb 2006 – Dec 2012″]

Unlike many OVAs, this one is a remake rather than a sequel, so you don’t have to watch the original series to understand it. Its main character is Alucard, a nigh-invulnerable, anti-heroic and sadomasochistic vampire who serves the Hellsing organization, which keeps the world safe by destroying creatures of the night (read: ghouls and vampires). If you’re wondering why a monster would want to kill other monsters, you can’t go wrong with this blood-soaked, visually-stunning and thrilling series.

4. Aoi Tamago (Pale Cocoon)

[Information episodes=”1″aired=”Dec 2005″]

If dystopia is your cup of tea, you’ll want to take a sip of this OVA. The story centers around Ura, who works in the Archive Excavation Department to discover why the world is the way it is: no continents, no oceans. One day, he stumbles across something that will shake up everything he believes in. It’s hard to pull off an original, compelling sci-fi story within 23 minutes, but Aoi Tamago’s creators somehow managed to do just that. This OVA is more than just a ham-fisted message about the environment; it’s also about looking into the past to make sense of the present. Watch it if you can; it will be the best 23 minutes of your life.

3. Hoshi no Koe (Voices of a Distant Star)

[Information episodes=”1″aired=”Feb 2002″]

Like Aoi Tamago, this one is a sci-fi story – with a bit of romance thrown in. It’s set in 2046, when humans decide to send an expedition to Mars after discovering evidence of a now-disappeared alien civilization there. Mikako Nagamine, a junior high school student, is chosen to join the expedition, which will separate her from Noboru Terao, who’s about to enter senior high. Creator Makoto Shinkai skillfully balances all the mechas, space and other elements you’d expect from a work like this, with the tenderness of the relationship between Mikako and Noboru. If you like a sci-fi story that’s more about the characters than the science, this isn’t one to miss.

2. Ginga Eiyuu Densetsu (Legend of the Galactic Heroes)

[Information episodes=”110″aired=”Jan 1988 – Mar 1997″]

At the moment, this holds the record as the longest OVA series ever. Its plot is similar to that of Star Wars (i.e. a war between a galactic empire and freedom fighters), but it is by no means inferior to the latter. In fact, you can argue that this OVA is better than George Lucas’world-famous series in terms of character development, plotting, and handling of both small-scale and large-scale conflicts between two sides. Aside from this OVA series (which should probably just be a”series”), you can also watch Ginga Eiyuu Densetsu: Arata Naru Tatakai no Overture to appreciate this work better.

1. Rurouni Kenshin: Tsuioku-hen (Rurouni Kenshin: Trust and Betrayal)

[Information episodes=”4″aired=”Feb 1999 – Sept 1999″]

If an anime fan were asked”What’s the best OVA you’ve ever seen?”, this is the most likely answer. This OVA takes us back to the Bakumatsu era, roughly a decade before the main Rurouni Kenshin storyline. It’s basically Kenshin Himura’s origin story: how he became Battousai, how he got his distinct X-shaped scar, and why he made a”no-kill”vow despite being a very capable killer. Unlike the original series, there’s zero comedy in this one – which is actually fitting, considering the time period. Also, the gorgeous animation, the memorable music, and the touching story are more than enough to make up for that. If you’re going to miss most of the series on this list, at least don’t miss this one!

Anime-urile se află într-o lume a sa, iar genul este suficient de influent și frumos pentru a obține recunoaștere la nivel global, datorită viziunii neortodoxe a regizorilor japonezi. Și se dovedește că există mulți regizori incredibil de talentați, fiecare cu propriul stil de animație și de povestire distinct. Crearea unui anime uimitor necesită colaborarea multor profesioniști din industrie, inclusiv scenariști, actori vocali, producători, animatori, regizori și alții. Toate rolurile merită recunoaștere, dar este timpul să ne concentrăm pe regizori, în special pe cei mai buni regizori anime din toate timpurile. Așadar, iată o listă creată pentru a onora mințile care au mers dincolo și mai sus pentru a ne oferi divertisment de înaltă calitate.

Naoko Yamada s-a născut în Prefectura Kyoto în noiembrie 1984 și a crescut în Prefectura Gunma înainte de a se întoarce la Kyoto pentru a-și continua cariera artistică.

Yamada, care a avut o fascinație de-a lungul vieții pentru filme, stătea trează până târziu să vadă orice se juca în slotul de seară. La Universitatea de Artă și Design din Kyoto, a studiat pictura în ulei și a fost membră a clubului de efecte speciale. În ciuda intențiilor ei de a urma o carieră în film după absolvire, ea a ajuns să obțină primul ei loc de muncă la Kyoto Animation, unde una dintre primele ei poziții a fost animarea între cadre pentru Inuyasha, difuzat atunci, înainte de a continua să anime pentru anime cum ar fi. ca Kanon, Lucky Star și Melancolia lui Haruhi Suzumiya.

Apoi și-a luat următorul loc de muncă ca animator, lucrând la Nausicaa of the Valley of the Wind pentru Hayao Miyazaki, care a fost atât de impresionat de talentul său încât i-a cerut să deseneze unele dintre cele mai complicate scene aproape de sfârșitul filmului. The iconic anime series Neon Genesis Evangelion, and Hideoki Annos’s most successful body of work, was a genuine phenomenon in and of itself, eliciting such an extraordinary response that anime fans are still dealing with the aftershocks and implications of today. Evangelion has become inextricably linked to the life of its creator, Hideaki Anno, and the arc of coming to terms with his (and the audience’s) lifelong struggles with depression and alienation, and how they frequently lead us to seek refuge and withdraw into inner landscapes of the imagination.

Later, he was given creative control over a project of his choosing, and the result was”Cowboy Bebop,”a genre-bending cartoon cocktail influenced by both film noir and spaghetti Westerns. The show’s music and fast-paced editing style also alluded to American jazz. The series and its feature-length sequel were a resounding hit. Watanabe’s name became synonymous with cutting-edge adult animation, and his following project was”The Animatrix,”a collection of animated shorts inspired by the hugely influential sci-fi film”The Matrix”from the 1990s. Watanabe directed two of the nine parts, adding to his already impressive portfolio of animated work.

Masaaki Yuasa, a cult favourite in Japanese animation, is known for his ever-shifting visual style and experimentation with a distinct directorial voice that has worked in a wide range of genres. Born in Japan’s Fukuoka Prefecture in 1965, he developed an early interest in drawing. He was particularly taken with the anime art style, but he thought it would be silly for him to work as an animator when he grew up because the animation was primarily intended for children. After obtaining a fine arts degree at Kyushu Sangyo University, he’d pursue a career in animation soon after graduating, initially at the Ajia-do studio where he worked as an animation director on the long-running”Shin Chan”and later as an animator and key animator on the show’s many spin-offs. In 2004, with over a decade of animation experience under his belt, Yuasa directed his first feature, the animated action-adventure film”Mind Game”(2004). Gaining increasing acclaim for his unconventional approaches to narrative, he would go on to write, direct, and storyboard the mini-series ‘The Tatami Galaxy’ (2010) as well as the acclaimed action short ‘Kick Heart’ (2013). Aside from his vivid and ever-changing use of colour, the most distinctive quality of Yuasa’s flexible style is how he constantly emphasises flatness in his animation, deliberately avoiding photorealism in favour of explicit cartoonishness. His talents were honoured in the United States when in 2014, he was invited to write, direct, storyboard, and animate an episode of the beloved animated series”Adventure Time”titled”Food Chain.”Yuasa would continue to present his own unique vision on screen, writing and directing the feature ‘Lu Over the Wall’ (2017), but he remained active in collaborative efforts as well, storyboarding the Netflix anime series ‘Devilman: Crybaby’.

In the world of Japanese animation, few names are as significant as the late Satoshi Kon, the mind behind such influential films as Perfect Blue, Paprika, and others that left an artistic and deep impression in the anime world. He was born in Hokkaido on October 12, 1963, and was first encouraged to pursue a career in animation while attending Hokkaido Kushiro Koryo High School, where inspiration from classic anime such as Space Battleship Yamato and Mobile Suit Gundam encouraged him to try his hand at animation himself. Studying as a graphic designer at Musashino Art University in 1982, it was during his time at college that the filmmaker came second in the 10th Annual Tetsuya Chiba Awards, debuting his manga short Toriko. After graduating, Kon realised he wanted to pursue a career in manga writing, an obsession that led him to pursue filmmaking in the 1990s, gravitating toward anime. His work culminated in his directorial debut, the anime adaptation of Yoshikazu Takeuchi’s novel Perfect Blue, a suspense film with themes of the blurring border between reality and fantasy, which he wrote for the 1995 anthology film Memories. Satoshi Kon’s name became well-known in the anime industry as a result of the film’s critical and commercial success. Many filmmakers have been directly influenced by Satoshi Kon’s work, and the director is frequently underappreciated for his contributions to the development of such projects. In addition to Black Swan and Requiem for a Dream, Christopher Nolan’s sci-fi thriller Inception, starring Leonardo DiCaprio and Elliot Page, borrowed several ideas from Kon’s trippy 2006 masterpiece, Paprika. Kon was tragically diagnosed with terminal pancreatic cancer. Given half a year to live, he chose to spend the rest of his life at home, where his final message was posted on his blog, saying goodbye to his devoted fans before passing away on August 24, 2010, at the age of 46. He was later mentioned among the Fond Farewells in TIME Magazine’s people of the year in 2010.

Mamoru Hosoda is a Japanese animator who was born in Kamiichi, Toyama, on September 19, 1967. Hosoda studied oil painting at the Kanazawa College of Art before beginning his career at Toei Animation, where he worked as a key animator on projects from popular anime franchises such as”Dragon Ball Z,””Yu Yu Hakusho,”and”Sailor Moon”throughout the 1990s. Hosoda made his directorial debut in 1999 with the short film”Digimon Adventure,”an animated adaptation of the virtual pet toy similar to the massive”Pokemon”franchise. This short led to Hosoda’s role as an occasional director on episodes of”Digimon: Digital Monsters”. It also led to Hosoda’s first feature-length film,”Digimon: The Movie”(2000). He was subsequently hired to direct Studio Ghibli’s ultimately well-received film”Howl’s Moving Castle”(2004), but was let go ( Hayao Miyazaki, the most famous anime director, eventually directed the film). Hosoda left Toei for Madhouse, another animation studio, where he began a new chapter in his career. He directed”The Girl Who Leapt Through Time”(2006) and”Summer Wars”(2009), both critically acclaimed and successful films before leaving Madhouse in 2011 to form his own company, Studio Chizu with Madhouse producer Yuichiro Saito. He co-produced his next film,”Wolf Children,”which received even more acclaim than the one before it, but”The Boy and the Beast”was the project that raised Hosoda’s international profile as an animation auteur more than any other. That is, until his next film,”Mirai”, received nearly universal acclaim and a Best Animated Feature nomination at the 91st Academy Awards in 2019. His latest film, Belle (2021) received just as many accolades, grossing ¥6.53 billion at the box office and receiving 16 nominations (and winning two) including 5 Annie Award nominations, surpassing the record held by previous films Spirited Away, Millennium Actress, and Weathering with You (2019) with four each.

As one of the most prolific writers and animators of either medium, the master creator is hailed amidst his contemporaries for his revolutionary manga-turned-movie, Akira. His other works moreover, however lesser-known, only help to prove his world-annihilating genius and combustible graphic style-with inclusions that, while faltering to hit the colossal heights of Akira, have nevertheless changed the landscapes of manga and anime forever. Born in Japan’s northeast region of Tohoku, in the city of Tome-gun located in Miyagi Prefecture, Katsuhiro Otomo grew up miles away from anything remotely capturing the gargantuan cityscapes of many of his works. A lover of film with a penchant for animation, Otomo spent many of his weekends travelling to the city of Sendai to catch the latest pictures. He published his debut work, a manga adaptation of Prosper Merimee’s short novel Mateo Falcone, called A Gun Report. His most famous work was Akira, a critically acclaimed manga he created between 1982 and 1990. The work consisted of over 2000 pages of artwork and took a long time to draw, but once the movie was released, it quickly gained fame as one of the best-animated movies of all time, credited with elevating anime to never-before-attained heights. Otomo has achieved even greater heights than the awards that his works have received, however, as he has managed to become a decorated Chevalier of the French Ordre des Arts et des Lettres in 2005. He was later promoted to Officer of the order in 2014. Apart from these, he has also been inducted into the American Eisner Award Hall of Fame in 2012 and the 2016 Grand Prix de la Ville d’Angoulême, becoming the first manga artist in history to receive the prestigious award. Artists influenced by him and his work include Hisashi Eguchi, Naoki Urasawa, Naoki Yamamoto, Hiroya Oku, and the infamous Masashi Kishimoto, the author of Naruto.

Hayao Miyazaki-Regarded as Japan’s preeminent animator and director, Hayao Miyazaki has remained a cult figure among”manga”and”anime”fans. Although he is officially retired, his works have become so prolific that even people who are unfamiliar with anime can recognize his work. This has made Miyazaki a respected director not only in Japan but all over the world. Born January 5, 1941, in the Bunkyō ward of Tokyo, Miyazaki expressed interest in manga and animation from an early age, and he joined Toei Animation in 1963. He began his career as an in-between artist at Toei Animation and later collaborated with director Isao Takahata. Toei’s credits include Doggie March, Gulliver’s Travels Beyond the Moon, Puss in Boots, and Animal Treasure Island before moving to A-Pro in 1971, where he co-directed Lupin the Third Part I with Takahata. In 1985, he co-founded Studio Ghibli, where he directed a number of films, including Castle in the Sky (1986), My Neighbour Totoro (1988), Kiki’s Delivery Service (1989), and Porco Rosso (1990). These films were critical and commercial successes in Japan and around the world, with’Princess Mononoke’being the first animated film ever to win the Japan Academy Prize for Picture of the Year, and briefly becoming the highest-grossing film in Japan before his 2001 film Spirited Away became the highest-grossing film in Japanese history, winning the Academy Award for Best Animated Feature at the 75th Academy Awards, and is frequently ranked among the greatest animated films ever. Later projects such as Howl’s Moving Castle (2004), Ponyo (2008), and The Wind Rises (2013) also enjoyed critical and commercial success. His style as a director is quite unique, since he is a purist of some sort, preferring to use traditional animation over the use of CGI. In fact, it has been reported that he does not allow any more than 10% of any work he is doing to be computer-generated. Nonetheless, his works have won numerous awards. Spirited Away, in particular, was so well-received that it won Best Animated Feature at the 75th Academy Awards. But that’s not all; at the 87th Academy Awards, Miyazaki became the fourth person to receive the rare and prestigious Academy Honorary Award from the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences (AMPAS), one of only four animators to do so, joining Chuck Jones, Walter Lantz, and Walt Disney.

Behind each iconic scene in the history of anime lies a person serving as the architect for the opus being created. Anime directors may not be as famous as the works that they create, but without them or their talents, anime will not be as prolific as it is today. Directors are a breed of their own. With a unique insight that specifically sees the exact dynamics of a story as it is supposed to be told, they manage to create classics that touch the viewers, creating an industry that has stood strong for decades, and one which continues to grow every day. And thus, this list has been created to honor the minds that broke barriers, crushed boundaries, and pursued horizons farther than any art form has ever achieved before. Here are the top ten anime directors!

10. Satoshi Kon

[imageCharacterWithAnime character=’‘]

Notable Works: Perfect Blue, Paprika Hailing from Hokkaido, Satoshi Kon has created his mark in the anime world with anime creations that were both artistic and deep. He was first encouraged to pursue a career in animation while attending Hokkaido Kushiro Koryo High School, where inspiration from classic anime like Space Battleship Yamato and Mobile Suit Gundam encouraged him to try out animation himself. He became a manga artist when he went to college, eventually moving up to anime in the years to follow. He worked as a supervisor for Mamoru Oshii’s Patlabor 2: The Movie along with anime films. However, his work finally reached its pinnacle in his directorial debut, the anime adaptation of Yoshikazu Takeuchi’s novel Perfect Blue, a suspense film with themes of the blurring border between reality and fantasy. The film was a critical and commercial success, and made Satoshi Kon’s name notable in the anime industry. Tragedy is said to love the genius however, as he was eventually diagnosed with a terminal case of pancreatic cancer while working on his film, The Dreaming Machine. He passed away six months after the initial diagnosis, shocking the anime community and the world since he has not shown any sign of sickness prior to him being diagnosed with cancer. He was later mentioned among the Fond Farewells in TIME Magazine’s people of the year in 2010.

9. Noboru Ishiguro

[imageCharacterWithAnime character=’‘]

Notable Works: Space Battleship Yamato, The Super Dimension Fortress Macross Noburo Ishiguro is one of those names in the anime industry that has influenced the anime world from backstage. Born in August 24, 1938, he came to this world prior to the start of the Second World War. Despite this, however, he grew into a well-rounded, talented young man with an interest in the arts. One of the really cool things about Noburo Ishiguro is the fact that he was into music while he was growing up. In fact, he was part of a Hawaiian style music band in his youth. This background in music eventually influenced his style in anime, as his ability to read sheet music and proficiency in musical notes helped one of the themes he chose to explore in his anime opus, The Super Dimensional Fortess Macross. In fact, this proficiency in music became his mark in later movies such as The Super Dimension Fortress Macross: Do You Remember Love? and Legend of the Galactic Heroes. He sadly passed away on March 20, 2012, however, due to a lung infection which was the result of a follow-up procedure to a surgery that treated an aneurysm two years prior. He was 73 when he passed away.

7. Hideaki Anno

[imageCharacterWithAnime character=’‘]

Notable Works: Neon Genesis Evangelion: The End of Evangelion, Evangelion: 1.0: You Are (Not) Alone Hideaki Anno got his start as an animator working for Hayao Miyazaki’s Nausicaa of the Valley of the Wind in 1984. Since Studio Ghibli was running short on animators during that time, the production studio posted an ad in Animage, a popular Japanese animation magazine. Anno headed down to the studio and showed Hayao Miyazaki his drawings. Impressed, Miyazaki assigned him as an animator for the intricate sequences involving the God Warriors. Anno’s directorial work in the iconic anime series Neon Genesis Evangelion has made him into a household name, as the series’ philosophical depth and religious undertones touched areas never breached by anime before. As a director, Anno usually draws from his own experiences, such as his long bout of depression being one of the inspirations behind the End of Evangelion. He has since established himself as one of the founding members of the animation studio Gainax, which creates groundbreaking and daring anime. In early 2006 however, he has left Gainax to create his own animation studio, Khara. Describing himself as the prodigal son of Hayao Miyazaki, he has become one of the most respected anime directors in the world today. In fact, he even has an asteroid named after him, 9081 Hideakianno. Now that’s breaking new ground.

Notable Works: Ghost in the Shell,: Patlabor 2:The Movie Mamoru Oshii has created a name for himself with his most notable work, the 1995 anime film Ghost in the Shell, a story of a female cyborg trying to find the meaning of her existence. The depth of the story, as well as it’s the artistic direction of the anime has made it universally-acclaimed, making it the first anime to reach the top of the US Billboard video charts in 1996 and is widely considered as a masterpiece and anime classic. Oshii’s influences lie in European cinema, especially films by Federico Fellini, Ingmar Bergman, Michelangelo Antonioni, and Jean-Pierre Melville, Jean-Luc Godard, Andrei Tarkovsky and Jerzy Kawalerowicz. His works usually carry a significant amount of symbolism, which ranges from known archetypes to biblical references such as those found in his work, Angel’s Egg and Avalon. His works have helped elevate anime to new heights, reaching levels and audiences that the art form was not able to breach into before. Though he occasionally dabbles in live-action movies, his animated works are what made him into an international name. The Wachowskis, famous for the Matrix Trilogy, have openly cited Oshii as one of their influences in creating their sci-fi masterpiece, to the point of showing Oshii’s Ghost in the Shell to their producer in order to show them the type of film they wanted the Matrix to be like. James Cameron, famous for the two highest grossing movies of all time, Titanic and Avatar, has also been open about his admiration for Oshii’s work, stating that Avalon may be”the most artistic, beautiful and stylish sci-fi film”ever to grace the animated screen, and that Ghost in the Shell was”the first truly adult animation film to reach a level of literary and visual excellence.”

4. Yoshiyuki Tomino

[imageCharacterWithAnime character=’‘]

Notable Works: Mobile Suit Gundam, Brain Powerd Known as the man behind the Gundam franchise, Yoshiyuki Tomino started his career under Mushi Productions, the company behind the world’s first Japanese anime series, Astro Boy. Tomino worked under Osamu Tezuka, writing storyboards and the screenplay for a number of episodes of the iconic series. However, Tomino is best known for single-handedly pushing the mecha genre to new heights. With his realistic approach to mecha as machines that are rooted in science, his trailblazing series, Mobile Suit Gundam reinvented the mecha genre and started a trend that is to stand until this day. Though the initial run of Mobile Suit Gundam was pulled out of the airwaves due to low ratings, its eventual rediscovery after a series of animated movies triggered a worldwide phenomenon, eventually making Tomino into a world-famous director. What makes Yoshiyuki Tomino even more awesome is the fact that his talents in anime do not stop in directing. Apart from creating great series and directing them with a style and depth unrivalled in the anime industry, he has also created music for anime, even collaborating with anime music greats such as Yoko Kanno, Asei Kobayashi, MIO and Neil Sedaka.

3. Katsuhiro Otomo

[imageCharacterWithAnime character=’‘]

Notable Works: Akira, Steamboy Yet another anime director whose works have triggered worldwide fame, Katsuhiro Otomo grew up with a fascination with movies. It is widely known that while growing up, he was so enamored with movies that he would unhesitatingly travel for three hours during school holidays just to see them. After graduating from high school, he pursued his dreams of becoming a manga artist. Soon after, he published his debut work, a manga adaptation of Prosper Merimee’s short novel Mateo Falcone, called A Gun Report. His magnum opus would be another manga that he would pen in the early 1980’s, his critically-acclaimed work, Akira. The work took years to complete and culminated in over 2000 pages of artwork. Once released however, it quickly gained fame as one of the best animated movies of all time, credited for elevating anime to heights never before reached. Even world-famous movie critic Roger Ebert picked Akira as his Video Pick of the Week in 1989, giving it a “Thumbs Up” rating. It has also garnered very favorable reviews from film site Rotten Tomatoes, which has given it a “Fresh” rating since it was included in the site’s list. Otomo has achieved even greater heights than the awards that his works have received, however, as he has managed to become a decorated Chevalier of the French Ordre des Arts et des Lettres in 2005. He was laterpromoted to Officier of the order in 2014. Apart from these, he has also been inducted into the American Eisner Award Hall of Fame in 2012 and the 2016 Grand Prix de la ville d’Angoulême, becoming the first manga artist in history to receive the prestigious award.

2. Osamu Tezuka

[imageCharacterWithAnime character=’‘]

Notable Works: Astroboy, Black Jack Regarded by many as the “God of Manga,” Osamu Tezuka is the man who is perhaps the one person that anime can truly credit as the one who started it all. Born in 1928, Tezuka initially set out to become a medical doctor. What’s really remarkable is the fact that he did become one, graduating from the University of Nara with a dissertation about the structural membrane of sea nails. After earning his M.D. however, he decided to focus on manga instead. He cites Walt Disney as one of his greatest influences, though he was known to disagree with the commercialism that Disney embraced. He is best known as the man behind the first anime to ever be produced, Tetsuwan Atom, better known in the West as Astro Boy. Though the series experienced heavy editing when it was brought to the West, it was nonetheless embraced by the populace. He would later create other notable series such as Kimba the White Lion, which, ironically is believed by many to be an inspiration to one of Walt Disney’s most successful films, The Lion King. Another work, Adolph, touches on themes prevalent among Jews and Germans in World War II, as the story tells of the two friends torn between duty and friendship amidst the horrific, turbulent period. Tezuka was a very efficient artist, known for being able to create up to ten pages of manga in a single day. His work in Astro Boy also earned him the admiration of Stanley Kubrick, who invited him to be the art director of the sci-fi classic 2001: A Space Odyssey. But Tezuka’s greatness not only lay in his work as an artist. When one looks into his roots, greatness also lies there, since Osamu Tezuka is also a known descendant of Hattori Hanzo, a famous ninja and samurai.

1. Hayao Miyazaki

[imageCharacterWithAnime character=’‘]

Notable Works: Spirited Away, Howl’s Moving Castle Hayao Miyazaki is one anime director that continues to impress the world until today. Though officially retired, his works have become so prolific, to the point where people who are not familiar with anime can still recognize his work. This has made Miyazaki into a director that has become respected not only in Japan or the USA, but all over the world. His style as a director is quite unique, since he is a purist of some sorts, preferring to use traditional animation over the use of CGI. In fact, it has been reported that he does not allow any more than 10% of any work he is doing to be computer-generated. His characters are also notable, usually featuring a young female lead that can only be described as feminist. Overall, his works, as well as the acclaim his works have garnered throughout the years, have given him the moniker the “Walt Disney of Japan.” Even though Miyazaki states that he hates the title, it is nonetheless a testament to how great his work is considered by the people who adore him. His works have garnered numerous awards and universal critical acclaim, most especially Spirited Away, which has garnered a 97% “Fresh” rating from film site Rotten Tomatoes. It was so well-received, the movie won the Best Animated Feature in the 75th Academy Awards. So yes, Hayao Miyazaki has an Ocscar. But this is not all, for in the 87th Academy Awards, Miyazaki has become the fourth person to receive the rare and prestigious Academy Honorary Award from the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences (AMPAS). He is one of only four animators to receive this award, the other three being Walt Disney, Walter Lantz (creator of Woody Woodpecker), and Chuck Jones (animator of Bugs Bunny and Tom and Jerry).

And so ends our list of the best minds behind the most notable anime that have been created through the years. Without these directors, anime would probably not be as prolific as it is today. So yes, I believe these ten special directors deserve a load of recognition from the anime community. After all, after their creative touch, anime has never been the same.
