When you step into a theater, anticipating beautiful cinematography, vivid storytelling, and emotional acting, an animated movie is the last thing you expect. Despite animation becoming increasingly more adult nowadays, it is still viewed with a lower regard when discussing true cinematic masterpieces. It is hard to blame those who judge it; with a clear focus on action and spectacle, animation is mainly simple entertainment. This is even more true with anime, a medium which goes against many Western storytelling ideals, such as “show, don’t tell.” However, the growing industry proves to be branching out in a positive direction, ever-evolving to deliver profound and subtle stories while not compromising on the creativity seen in anime. This is very present with Tatsuya Oishi, director of Kizumonogatari -Koyomi Vamp- and Bakemonogatari. He is able to express precise emotions in animation that tell a whole story, giving profound insight into the characters and their inner feelings, a feat difficult to accomplish in anime.
