Recently, a heated debate has emerged regarding the role of directors in creating and executing significant scenes in Japanese animated films. Both “Sousou no Frieren” and “Bocchi the Rock!” have received accolades for their engaging storytelling, compelling characters, and impactful final scenes.
The growing recognition of the similarities between the final episodes of these two shows has highlighted the talents of director Saito and the lasting impression it leaves on viewers.
Below are some thoughts from an enthusiastic viewer:
– When I watched the final episode of Frieren, I thought it was “truly Bocchi-esque,” and it turns out they share the same director.
– Upon realizing they had the same director, my first thought was: “If this is the case, I will watch any anime he creates, even without knowing the source material.”
– In recent years, only the animated series directed by this individual have significantly resonated with me.
– I researched more about this director and discovered that he has also worked on “Love Live! Sunshine!!,” “Little Witch Academia,” and “Pokémon Sun & Moon.”
– I just watched the final episode, and I noticed that Frieren reminded me of the last episode of Bocchi the Rock!. Now I understand why they are so similar.
