I support Nagai Tatsuyuki and Mamoru Hosoda

Tetsurō Araki.. If only that guy made Claymore.. It would've been a masterpiece.

Can't say I agree. He did a good job with Death Note, somewhat okayish with SnK and Highschool of the Dead and a horrible job with Guilty Crown. Can't say I was pleased with anything he did besides Death Note.

 

[Gotenkss]

I nominate
Shinichiro Watanabe (Known for Cowboy Bebop, Samurai Champloo)
Kazuhiro Furuhashi (Rurouni Kenshin, Hunter x Hunter)
Tetsuro Araki ( Known for Death Note, Attack on Titan, and High School of the Dead )

 

[littleangel]

Can't say I agree. He did a good job with Death Note, somewhat okayish with SnK and Highschool of the Dead and a horrible job with Guilty Crown. Can't say I was pleased with anything he did besides Death Note.

But his recent work Shinjiki tells that he's got a great sight of what potential the story holds.. And if you could give your opinion, which director should've made Claymore??
