His animation and art style is just so distinctive and unmistakable. The only other animator whose work I recognize right off the bat ( with my very limited knowledge ) is the great Tatsuyuki Tanaka, and maybe also Mitsuo Iso.

Made by humans for humans.

The death of the OVA is legitimately tragic and I think it's a big reason the anime industry, despite undoubtedly looking gorgeous these days, feels creatively pretty stagnant in the stories being told
