Anyone know who is the lead anime director of Dandadan episode 7 - aka masterpiece of an episode?
Also what other work he/she done in the past/ which anime/ which episode?
I'm genuinely intrigued after watching Dandadan ep7 and want some more.

Shuuto Enomoto was the stoyboarder and animation director, but he didn't actually directed it. That was Kotaro Matsunaga.

Shuuto Enomoto is Storyboard / Animation Director https://staff.keyframe.blog/staff/dandadan#07

remember episode director is different to animation director
animation directors are directly correcting drawings and animation
storyboard is the blueprint or rough draft of the whole episode in terms of animation and visuals

episode director meanwhile is the major upper management of the episode so he is not only involve with animation but also the sound, music, background art, cinematography, etc

@deg If we’re talking about director and decision making than yes Matsunaga. However animation and story board wise I feel Enomoto is indirectly the key leader in these area for this episode. He has more notable credits than Matsunaga. There isn’t much credits or that much episode series that Matsunaga directed. The one he did recently was Love Live.

Animation director is the person who actually directs the animators and works with them. A director just overseas the people and is like a manager.

@DaddySnoreBucks An animation director doesn't "direct" in the literal sense, their role is mostly to supervise and apply any corrections to work of key animators.

There's a distinction between animation director and episode director for a reason.

incorrect. Enomoto only storyboarded and did AD work. The director of the episode was Kotaro Matsunaga

what is this logic? by that logic, Miso only has 2 episode director credits and he's worse than thousands of other directors?😂

@Anime_Skaddiel Ok, my bad but this episode is getting soo much praise for it's storyboard and Animation direction. Anyway It's not a work of single person, everyone involved in this episode did a wonderful job.

Animation director can be Sakkan and Sou Sakkan. There are chief animation directors that are credited as animation directors.

Btw a bit off topic, if any of you enjoy anime with these type of touchy family matters, I recommend to check out: The Yuzuki Family's Four Sons
It's obviously not as tragic, but it gives a similar vibe.
It was my anime of the year from 2023 though :3

@Anime_Skaddiel I’m not saying he is a bad director. I meant he doesn’t direct a lot and could be a good new director with a great team. So it’s hard to say whether he is great as a director. Also I am not wrong in saying that he doesn’t have many past credit and experiences in animation director like Enomoto. From the ok episodes of second season of Love Live to this great episode of Dandadan is a huge jump. I don’t think he would have suceeded without Enomoto and the team behind. Remember Enomoto has worked on big titles like Your Name, Heavenly Delusions, Inu Oh…. These series have great animations and Enomoto was involved in them.
