* AnimationBump: One of the best in the field of Mecha animation. While it's true that Obari does over-rely on certain poses (like the Perspective mentioned below, which even he personally admitted) the result ''never'' disappoints. And indeed, among mecha fans, if something is '''[[http://i.imgur.com/EEX6t63.jpg OBARI AS FUCK]]''' as mentioned below, expect some absolutely ''spectacular'' battles.

Masami Ōbari[[note]]大張 正己 (Ohbari Masami)[[/note]] (born January 24, 1966 in Hiroshima, Japan) is an {{anime}} director, animator and character/[[HumongousMecha mecha]] designer notorious for his [[SignatureStyle absurdly distinctive style]] - his scripts [[ExcusePlot largely exist to]] set up [[RuleOfCool cool battles]], most of the {{Super Robot}}s he created are recognisable as his work at the slightest glance, and his action sequences recycle the same handful of dynamic poses and shots over and over (which thankfully [[Administrivia/TropesAreNotBad never seem to get old]]). He also has something of a reputation as a DirtyOldMan, frequently putting {{Fanservice}} in his works (extending to outright {{hentai}} titles); even his family-friendly works will often have a character with GagBoobs or two.

->''"It would have been nice if we could have ended the story with the Knight Sabers at least being able to wound [[MegaCorp GENOM]], though clearly they could never destroy it. I think about that even now, and a while ago, Obari Masami said to me ''[='=]I bet you too would like to conclude the Knight Sabers' story[='=]'', so I asked him ''[='=]Obari-kun, what would you do?[='=]''. He said ''[='=]In the end, [[InstantAwesomeJustAddMecha giant robots will battle each other]][='=]''. This comment pretty much sums up his personality."''

!!Tropes related to the works of Masami Obari:

* FaceFramedInShadow+GlowingEyesOfDoom: Another iconic shot of his. On both robots and humans, with the latter having glowy eyes for no reason other than the RuleOfCool.

* SignatureStyle: His animation style, especially when doing work on HumongousMecha, is absurdly distinctive and often parodied. He's acknowledged it, admitting that he relies too much on his "finishing moves", iconic shots or sequences that he likes recycling way too much. In a notable example, [[Anime/GaikingLegendOfDaikuMaryu Gaiking the Great]], Anime/DancougarNova, [[VideoGame/SuperRobotWarsOriginalGeneration the SRX]] in ''The Inspector'', and [[Anime/GundamBuildFightersTry Tryon 3]] among others have ''very'' similar [[CombiningMecha combination sequences]].
