* ControlFreak: Held a reputation among the people he worked with for being incredibly rigid about his creative vision for a film, being very much uncompromising with his intentions and pushing for it as hard as he could with each film, often to the detriment of his staff. When these tendencies were made publicly known after his death, it briefly eclipsed the legacy his films had from an artistic standpoint, though this seems to have quieted down with time. His strictness as a director eventually led people to regard him as the Creator/StanleyKubrick of anime: a harsh and uncompromising director responsible for some of the most revered films in their respective mediums.

Along with fellow Creator/StudioGhibli co-founder Creator/HayaoMiyazaki, he is regarded as one of the greatest anime directors of all time. More infamously, he's also regarded as one of the strictest, to the point where it's rumored that his perfectionist attitudes towards his staff was a factor in both Ghibli's lack of new blood and Yoshifumi Kondo's death of a brain aneurysm in 1998, something Takahata himself was willing to believe. Nonetheless, his films are regarded as some of the best to ever come out of Japan, and no one will argue that his legacy and acclaim is undeserved. In that sense, one could consider Takahata the anime industry's equivalent of Creator/StanleyKubrick.

* GenreRoulette: Compared to Miyazaki, who specialized in fantasy-inspired films driven by a sense of adventure, Takahata focused on a much more varied palette of genres, with the main glue between them being a dramatic tone. Going from his work with Studio Ghibli alone, he's produced a depressing war drama, a coming-of-age-meets-adult-drama film with MagicRealism elements, a SliceOfLife vignette film, and a medieval fantasy-drama.

* ChildrenAreInnocent: A theme frequently [[{{Deconstruction}} deconstructed]] in his films, which devote at least some time to examining how flawed childhood innocence is and how it inevitably gets broken down by both time and experience.

* DarkerAndEdgier: Compared to the works of Creator/HayaoMiyazaki, Takahata's films leaned more towards bittersweet at best; the most extreme case of this was with ''Anime/GraveOfTheFireflies'', an infamously depressing film about two children trying to survive in the midst of the American military's devastation of Japan in UsefulNotes/WorldWarII, sandwiched directly between the adventurous ''Anime/CastleInTheSky'' and the whimsical ''Anime/MyNeighborTotoro''.
* DoingItForTheArt: Takahata's films always emphasized artistry over marketability, though this inevitably didn't translate to commercial success in a few cases.

* HumansAreFlawed: A common theme in his works, with said flaws ranging from comical to dead-serious.
* OddFriendship: Given the radically different types of movies they make, one can get thrown off-guard at first upon learning that Takahata was one of Hayao Miyazaki's closest friends.
* ThePerfectionist: For better or for worse, Takahata always insisted on getting each of his films '''just''' right.
* ShortLivedBigImpact: He was definitely the less prolific of Ghibli's two big directors, but his films remain massively influential to this day; even today, a depressing animated film will always see at least one comparison to ''Grave of the Fireflies''.
* SlidingScaleOfIdealismVersusCynicism: His films range all over the spectrum, sometimes shifting place from scene-to-scene. ''Grave of the Fireflies'' is definitely at the very tip of the "cynical" end, while ''My Neighbors the Yamadas'' is for the most part a more idealistic film than his usual work. Most of his other films lie somewhere in-between.
* SignatureStyle: Introspective drama films with particular focus on the flaws of human nature and the difficulty characters face in handling uncontrollable misfortunes.

According to the book, Takahata was so notoriously strict as a director that not only was he widely feared among Ghibli's staff, to the point that it might've contributed to the studio's infamous lack of new blood, but also that his harsh standards may have contributed to the premature death of Yoshifumi Kondo in 1998, something that Creator/HayaoMiyazaki and even Takahata himself were willing to believe.
