- QuotesI hate the idea of 'background' music - the idea that animation is supposedly the main focus of the show and music should only play a supporting role. In my opinion, the music should stand out just as much as the animation. They should always be pushing each other to new heights. [on finding the balance between audio and visual elements of an anime, Newtype USA Magazine, July 2005]
- TrademarksFrequantly uses music by Yuki Kajiura
