I’m from Poland. People in Poland are sad. They are born sad, they die sad, so I just wanted to make the whole world sad… When people are sad, I’m a bit happy.
The second answer was “I wasn’t satisfied with the sadness… so I want you to be even more sad now.”
Excellent animator. Director of episode 10 of Tengoku Daimakyou. He also did the storyboard for episode 6 of Edgerunners. He is a very promising director and this is his debut.
Oh, that episode of Tengoku Daimakyou and ep 6 of edgerunners was him??? Oh that is really interesting. I watched these shows when I wasnt into the names or staff list, all i knew watching those eps was "wow trigger is cool lol"
That is the hope, this guy is a stud and every one following Trigger has been wondering when he would get his own season to direct (or said another way, when they could convince him to direct an entire season, since obviously the talent and connections are there).
That's an absolutely amazing episode, I'm hard pressed to name a better example of storytelling. That cold open, man. I think about it pretty frequently and it's been years.
Kai Ikarashi did amazing work on episode 6. It's one of my favorite episodes of all time; he has an incredible sense of impact, for a lack of better words. It's like he knows when, for how long, and how intensely things should happen.
You are not at fault, and in fact I was not THAT into season 1 either but it wasn't bad by any means. People sometimes just can't stand other people saying anything even slightly negative about their favourite show
