I think including clear children shows (like he's going to make them bittersweet lol) and a short he worked on for a Studio C's collection are fudging the figures more than selecting the last 15 years of his career lol Not to mention that Spring and Chaos is biographical sketch of a Japanese poet.
FYI I went from 1996 and up because that was his first bittersweet anime and since than over 50% of his productions, especially ones he's had control over have had bittersweet endings.

Late to this thread, but how did Aquarion movie have a bittersweet ending? My understanding is that the movie is just a compilation of the two OVAs together, and those definately had a happy (if somewhat confusing) ending. Well, unless you consider "any secondary character killed = bittersweet", but by that standard almost every ending is bittersweet.
