Director Spotlight: Hiroyuki Imaishi (TTGL, KLK)

Director Spotlights: Editor Notes (/r/Anime, /r/TrueFilm, /r/TrueAnime)

Based on some feedback, I tried to change the format up in the early section. I think this gives more focus time to the Director's career and growth, over individual series. Also each series has more focus on the meta aspect of the works, versus really talking about what the series did in it's own way. Personally, this is not my favorite route, as I think it lessens the recommendation aspect of each show and I want people to watch these series.

So how did you like the change in style? I can tell you that Watanabe's Spotlight is already landing somewhere between these 2, with focus on the series and a more "personified" idea of who the man is.

Due to the rules being different/muddled, I'll link places to watch the shorts/commercials here. If a mod feels like they shouldn't be allowed, just let me know.
