How would they influence it? I'm not arguing here, I'm just not clear on
what a director does in anime. Once you have character designs and scripts,
what *can* he do? It probably depends on the director, I guess.
This is true. In the case of a workaholic like Tomino, not only does does he
play the role of director, he also gets credited for the "original work" on
shows he works on, which is the same credit used in Japan when, for example,
an author's novel is adapted into a film. Plus, he is known to work as a
scriptwriter, storyboarder, and song lyric writer using multiple aliases.
And we know that people like Tomino, Mitsuo Fukuda, & Yasuhiro Imagawa
exercise varying amounts of control on the way the mecha look.
I don't know that it works this way in Japan, but I hear sometimes in
America that TV is viewed as more of a writer's medium while film is a
director's, which just muddies the waters more over who has the most
influence over what.
