Quotes
It actually kind of sucks having to be a director. Once you do it, you
discover how hard it really is. This is no kind of a job for a human
being, let me tell you. I think I ought to quit, but I can't really do
anything else! [When asked what the worst elements of his job are,

Trademarks
In both the "Cowboy Bebop" series and "the Animatrix; Kid's Story" the focus of the viewer is repeatedly drawn to the main character's eyes. Both have scenes where the main character is falling headfirst toward the ground, and we can see the reflection of the sky in his eyes.
