I do agree with you that I'm sure many creative professionals would be fascinated and honoured to have a bunch of people in a foreign land discussing their works. But I think it'd be more interesting if people would spend more time discussing her works and doing critical analysis, rather than the whole personal angle this conversation always seems to tend towards.

Ah, I see. I'd guess that most of us tend to roll our eyes at any assumption people make about us, especially those that don't know us.
I edited it in my last post, but that was sorta late so I'll move it down here. It does make me wonder though if there should have just been a thread about "Anime related staff members you have noticed" instead of a thread about just one person.
