![]() Given the acclaim she's received among her peers and the wider anime community, it's only a matter of time before Megumi Ishitani emerges as one of the industry's top creative voices. ![]() If she is able to put out work of such high quality within the confines of a single television episode, there's no doubt she would soar if given the chance to direct an entire series, or even helm a feature film. The One Piece anime is in a wonderful place at the moment, and no doubt the episodes of the Onigashima raid to come will be a treat for fans everywhere.Īs for Ishitani herself, here's hoping that her work on One Piece is just the beginning. As amazing a director as she is, anime is a collaborative effort, and both her episodes and the rest of the "Wano" arc have been the result of many talented and hard-working animators, directors and storyboarders giving it their all. In the aftermath of Episode 1015's release, Ishitani took to Twitter to thank the rest of the team that brought it all together. RELATED: Did One Piece Just Reveal the Secret of Marijoa's Treasure? Whether it was the dreamlike scene in which Yamato realizes Luffy and Roger's dreams were the same, the Emperors and Worst Generation members standing off against each other while drenched in Prometheus's red light, Luffy defiantly walking between Big Mom and Kaido to help the Scabbards or Luffy reminiscing on the entire journey to Wano before knocking Kaido down with Red Roc, every single scene was a clear improvement over the already-phenomenal manga chapter being adapted - and a thorough showcase of Ishitani's incredible talent.

For the first time in the arc, the arena felt like a real location of immense size and the characters used its structure to gain the advantage in battle, leading to Super's most visceral and exciting fight. It speaks volumes to Ishitani's talent that Dragon Ball Super's finale exceeded expectations, delivering a fight that combined the fluid animation of the previous Tournament of Power battles with a more tangible sense of geography. Depicting Goku, Frieza and Android 17's final battle against Jiren, the episode had a lot to live up to, serving as the conclusion to both the monstrously-long ''Universal Survival" Saga as well as Super's entire 131-episode run.
