Kunihiko Ikuhara

From WikiMoon
Jump to: navigation, search

Ikuhara is seen by many "moonies" as the definitive Sailor Moon director. This is due to his flair in depicting drama in Sailor Moon. Some thinks he even elevates the series from just being a kid's show with the way he creates a dark atmosphere. The best episodes that show this are "Usagi's Everlasting Wish! A New Reincarnation" and "Death of Uranus and Neptune? Talismans Appear".

His defining/signature work is Shoujo Kakumei Utena, where some feel he explores all the themes he can't get away with in Sailor Moon.
