10 times a mangaka helped with an anime.
Mangaka are usually uninvolved with the production of their anime, but there are a rare handful of manga whose creators were heavily involved in making their anime. When a manga gets adapted into an anime, the original mangaka tends to have no part in its production outside some very minor areas.
9 Katsuhiro Otomo - Akira Another example of a mangaka who helped create their anime is Katsuhiro Otomo with the classic 80s film Akira. Katsuhiro Otomo famously wrote and directed the theatrical adaptation of his manga, and while the original manga wasn’t finished at the time, he still managed to create a movie with an incredible story and visuals to match that’s still held in high regard over 30 years later.
5 Kazuki Takahashi - Yu-Gi-Oh! Kazuki Takahashi always had a heavy involvement in Yu-Gi-Oh! beyond the original manga, and that extended to his work with the anime, as well. To celebrate the 20th anniversary of the manga, Takahashi wrote Yu-Gi-Oh! The Dark Side of Dimensions, a film set in the continuity of the original manga, and it served as an excellent epilogue to the manga that gave much-needed closure to Yugi and Kaiba’s character arcs.
