Animation Directors

[edit]

So as the original show has had animation directors allowed on its episode table since its usually one or two animation directors, this show couldn't because apparently anime project editors think their WAY TOO MUCH FOR MODERN ANIME! They think I should do it for just older anime, but, has there been a time when episodes of a show have many writers, storyboard artists and directors are credited per episode? Sure there is different pipelines but shows can credits so many people under the pacific role. Example, the tenth episode of Call of the Night has six directors.

"Series directors"

[edit]

For the record, the three director credits here are "chief director" (sou kantoku), director (kantoku), and "series director" (shirizu direkuta). Despite this, "kantoku" is the most common credit to use for "series director"--but regsrdless, all three are responsible to varying degrees of directing the series, with each having more power over the other. Unless there's a source that regards the other two as having only supervisory roles, or Kamei acting as just an assistant, they should all be credited. Instances like Attack on Titan exist where "chief director" Tetsurou Araki said he basically just split series directing duties with Masashi Koizuka; as do other instances like Akiyuki Shinbo's general overhead supervision and doing series directing tasks like storyboard checks.

In other words, crediting only the person credited as "director" or "series director" in cases like this is usually an omission of information or outright incorrect. Sarcataclysmal (talk) 11:24, 3 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]
