Kunihiko Ikuhara provides examples of the following tropes:
- Cloudcuckoolander - Understatement of the century.
- Dream Team: He would like to collaborate withDavid Lynch. Just...think about that for a second.
- Then there's his collaboration withMamoru Nagano onSchell Bullet. A perfect storm of FABULOUS!
- Jossed - Often looked to by fans for answers, often takes gleeful delight in disappointing them.
- Lying Creator - Possibly, when asked aboutUtena.
- Probably the best example is his response viaTwitter to people asking aboutMawaru Penguindrum:
| All of you have enjoyed making your predictions. Now, I'll tell you the truth. Yes. Just as all of you have predicted all along:the Penguindrum is a pink washing machine. | |
- Mind Screw
- Prima Donna Director - He's been known to be difficult to work with.
- Shrug of God - Obviously!
- Trolling Creator - Big time!
- Wholesome Crossdresser - He's been knowntocosplayasSailor Mars.
- Yuri Fan - He openly admitted on the commentary for theUtena movie that the ending is "the sort of thing I thought about a lot when I was younger." Said ending, by the way,involves two naked girls speeding away on the remains of a car when said car was one of the girls moments before.
