This is just between you and me, but when I was fourteen, I saw a UFO. That UFO telepathically told me this prophecy:"When you grow up, you will direct an anime about girls revolutionizing various things." "You must not tell anyone about me. If you ever do..." Wh-What will happen to me? "People will call you a sketchy guy."
Auteur anime director, most famously of the TV series
Revolutionary Girl Utena and its movie
The Adolescence of Utena, plus
Sailor Moon R,
Sailor Moon S and
Sailor Moon SuperS as well as the
R movie. Also notoriously evasive about giving straight answers to his more surreal works.
Kanashimi no Belladonna has been cited as an influence of his, which is quite easily seen in
Utena.
His latest work,
Mawaru-Penguindrum, aired from July to December of 2011 as part of that year's
summer anime lineup.
