Rough Draft

Director Spotlight: Meta Edition

Hello everyone!

So as of last Friday, I have completed the "New Blood" section of Directors, and I'll be starting to go over the "Established or Well Known" Directors.

The goal of the series is to introduce entertaining Anime, show off some of the talents within the industry, and give better understanding to how series, or even genres have evolved. I do keep a certain amount of my own opinion within the post, sometimes to my detriment.

With this in mind, give me your feedback! How have you found the series overall? Does my opinion make you want to [throw a table at me?]() (I'm told I now must make sacrifice to /u/banjothebear)

What area or topic would you like more information on? Of my upcoming Directors, would you like to see some added, removed, other series to be covered, etc?

Go wild, I love even the most insulting of comments and try and learn from them. Though no promises, I may engage in word-i-cuffs with you. <3
