Since then, he's built the brunt of his work on his bolstering ability to engage some purely epic storytelling with ample results on projects like Parasyte: Part 1 and Part 2 as well as sprawling war drama, The Eternal Zero, and his newest, Destiny: Kamakura Story, aims to further continue the trend.
