Masaaki Yuasa

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Masaaki Yuasa (湯浅政明 Yuasa Masaaki) is an anime director and animator known for his wild free form style. This can be distressing for a poor fan used to a more pedestrian animation style, his episode of The Hakkenden has often been pronounced to be 'animated by monkeys', something of a joke considering the considerable creativity involved.
