Ask the Commenters: How do You Like Akiyuki Shinbo’s Works?7

When mentioned about Akiyuki Shinbo (新房 昭之), the first thing comes to my shaking mind is the slideshow style of Animation and strange but unique way of telling stories.

I watched a few of his works and as you could probably tell more than I. From the latest 2nd season of Maria Holic (まりあ†ほりっく) to the hottest Mahou Shoujo Madoka Magica (魔法少女まどか☆マギカ) and Bakemonogatari (化物語). He indeed directed tons of masterpieces and the way he does graphically is somehow became a trademark.

To be frankly, I really had a difficult time to accept his works. But the way he expresses the story goes beyond the image. For a people like me who weigh a lot on character design and the quality of Anime could easily get disappointed (Yes, I found myself lost in Sayonara Zetsubou Sensei, さよなら 絶望先生) in the first place, but when we get further, we might find the series interesting and even attractive than those who look good.

Anyway this is how I feel about his works. How do you like Shibo’s works?

well He is awesome guy he avoid using fillers just keeping to minimal which to me is already awesome. he dont fall to amase me with his unique style and work.

I haven't seen one of his works, but I'll try it and see if I like them. Another question: I've just finished watching Mm! and Sora no Otoshimono (Forte), what do you recommend watching? Some other favorites: K-On!(!), Angel Beats, Amagami SS, Bakemonogatari and many more :3

Actually Bakemonogatari is one of his works. PS. I somehow got annoyed by MM! for some time due to Arashiko Yuuno. Don't really like the character but the Anime is fine. Maybe you can follow some new series of the season, check out the post here, and I may recommend GOSICK.

Well I love Bakemonogatari, and I also think the style of that anime is great, so I guess I like his style :) I didn't think myself that Yuuno was annoying, so I hope there will be a second season, mostly because of the very open end of the first season. Only I didn't really like the drawing style of Mm!, I hope they'll improve it a little if they're gonna make a second season. Thanks for the tips, GOSICK looks great and I think I'll give it a try, I'm also going to watch Hana-Saku Iroha for this season, and Hayate no Gotoku for the fun :)

the surreal and indifferent style of akiyuki shinbo is what made him so famous, personally, i like his style. From an artistic few.

His anime works are one of a kind and indeed very unique and i love them a lot!
