Akiyuki Shinbo: Difference between revisions

A Japanese anime director most noteworthy for being the primary director for [[Studio Shaft]] since 2004, before that he was a freelance director, beginning with his direction of ''[[Metal Fighter Miku]]'' in 1994. His work SHAFT has been characterized by extensive experimentation with the visual medium of animation, and often includes pictures taken from real life cut into scenes, as well as [[Art Shift|Art Shifts]], [[Beat Panel|Beat Panels]] (despite the fact that his work is animated), Kabuki sound effects, [[Unmoving Plaid|textures that remain stationary when the textured object moves]], showing symbols or defining parts of a character ([[Ahoge]], [[Hair Decorations|Hair Decs]], foreheads, or more bizarre symbols) in place of characters during dialogue, written text in place or in opposition to dialogue, downright surgical use of [[Fan Service]], and overall excellent cinematography. Given that he is one of the primary masterminds behind SHAFT's first original series, [[Puella Magi Madoka Magica (Anime)|Puella Magi Madoka Magica]], it is also safe to say that he is quite fond of [[Mind Screw|Mind Screws]] and [[Deconstruction]].
