Hideaki Anno: Difference between revisions

'''Hideaki Anno''' is one of the seven co-founders of anime studio [[Gainax]]; he is most (in)famously known for his work on the ''[[Neon Genesis Evangelion]]'' franchise, and he was rather famously involved in a dispute over the anime adaptation of ''[[Kare Kano]]'' with the author of the manga. Anno made a name for himself working as an animator on ''[[Nausicaa of the Valley of the Wind]]'' -- thanks to recognition from since-then friend and collaborator [[Hayao Miyazaki]]. His most high-profile work prior to ''Evangelion'' was for ''[[Nadia and: The Secret of Blue Water]]'' and ''[[Gunbuster]]''. He has also directed several live-action films, including an adaptation of popular 1970s anime ''[[Cutey Honey]]''. He was awarded the [[w:Medals of Honor (Japan)|Medal with Purple Ribbon]] in Spring 2022.
