When we think of the most celebrated anime directors of our time, they tend to have one thing in common: they’re either over 50, or nearing it. For a medium with a primary demographic of 13-30 year olds, they may as well be from a whole other world – of influences, and maybe even ways of life. However, with all things, the younger generations are now starting to enter the industry and mark the beginning of their own legacies. One such example is undoubtedly loundraw.
