Profile
Hideaki Anno (born May 22, 1960 in Ube, Yamaguchi) is a Japanese animation and film director. Anno is best known for his work on the popular anime series Neon Genesis Evangelion. His style has come to be defined by the touches of superflatism and postmodernism that he injects into his work, as well as the thorough portrayal of characters' thoughts and emotions, often through unconventional sequences incorporating psychoanalysis and emotional deconstruction of these characters. He married comics
In Their Own Words
He frequently cited inspirations from his youth that shaped his outlook on cinema, from Alain Resnais' Last Year at Marienbad (1961) to Andrei Tarkovsky's Solaris (1972) to Stanley Kubrick's 2001: A Space Odyssey (1968).
