Who would you like to see direct a Pokemon movie?

[Nomekop Oen]

Even though Kunihiko Yuyama is probably set for life as the director for all of the Pokemon movies,let's say he wasn't available to direct and you had to pick someone to takeover the project.


Now there are probably some obvious choices out there *cough*Miyazaki*cough*,but I'll start off with a lesser known director.



Anyway,I'd REALLY like to see Kazuyoshi Katayama (Director of Big O) direct a Pokemon movie.Now regardless of whether or not you liked Big O,I think anyone can appriciate just how visually stunning Big O was.Personally,I think it's the best directed anime I've ever seen.







Any other suggestions?

Tetsuya Nomura. *shot by anyone who actually knows who that is*

 

[Nomekop Oen]

Can't really shoot you if I don't know who that is... =/

 

[Misty]

He directed Final Fantasy VII.

 

[Nomekop Oen]

That seems like a pretty good choice.Don't know why anybody would shoot you over it. Oo; There's certainly directors out there that just plain suck.


Director of "Soultaker" for example. -_-;

 

[Rocketshipper]

Satoshi Kon!!! That would be awesome. Also Kunihiko Ikuhara (sp?), the guy who did SM S and Utena, would be cool

 

[Argy]

Someone has to say it- Steven Spielberg.

 

[Nomekop Oen]

What about the Wachowski Bros. Mmmmm,bullet time.. =D~

There was once a Pokemon/Matrix YTMND... sadly, it got purged.

Please tell us more about this. What does YTMND stand for?

 

[Misty]

YTMND stands for You're The Man Now, Dog - a website dedicated to posting quotes and funny pictures. It can be found at http://www.ytmnd.com. Examples of what the site is for can be found at http://picard.ytmnd.com and http://khaaaan.ytmnd.com.

Tim Burton does some great animations. I'd like to see him do something. Quentin Tarantino too but we all know where that will go

The last thing the pokemon world needs, Pikachu w/ a SMG, Cigar in his mouth, I can see it now.

Horror movies are my thing, Lets get Wes Craven into the mix.

My instinct says Paul Dini, but...

 

[inu-liger]

George Lucas, anybody?

I don't think direction is so much a problem as the story and screenwriting...

Although, this movie 8, well, it seemed acceptable. I actually feel like I want to watch again. (Whereas with 7, I still haven't watched it through again a second time for just that reason...)

 

[Jolllly]

Quentin Tarantino direction + Gym Leader movie = win for Oos. XD *wishful*

 

[Nekusagi]

Hayao Miyazaki.

Enough said.

 

[birdboy2000]

Miyazaki's obvious, and I'd like to see it, if only so that the newspapers will have to give a pokemon movie a good review...

I'd also like to see Chiaki Konaka do it, because I've always wanted to see a dark, semi-lovecraftian take on pokemon. ^_^

(Yes, this in spite of the fact that I've disliked most of his other works. And have a bitter loathing for one of them. Call of Dagomon was good, at least.)

Funny you mention that because Kazuyoshi Katayama is credited with director,screenplay,storyboard,and series supervisor for Big O.So the man definitely has a lot to offer.Also,while as over at ANN it turns out he was the assistant director for Nausicaä.


And even though a Director obviously works with everybody that's involved in a certain project,the Director is arguably the most important part when making a movie/series.Basically,the director is the one who will try to visualize how the story should look like on the screen.So even if someone writes an amazing detailed story for a Pokemon movie,it's the Director who ultimately decides what does or doesn't work for the film.


I think Kunihiko Yuyama has done an okay job so far.I think Revelation Lugia,Guardian Gods of the Water Capital - Latias and Latios,and The Wishing Star of Seven Nights have been his best work IMO.

You're just talking about the first season right? *cough*

No way.I was impressed with Big O all the way up to the last episode of Season 2.
