Biography

Morio Asaka is an anime director at studio Madhouse. Many of his works take on a female perspective for the telling of the story, with a feminine protagonist as the central focus.

However, his works are also known for often elaborate action sequences, and even his most serious stories are frequently laced with comedy.
