This video was originally uploaded in February, but was taken down by Toei. I'm re-uploading it because fuck them, I know this is Fair Use. Now with super-cool and not annoying at all mirrored footage (but only the Toei stuff because they're literally the only ones trying to claim the video).

Original description:

Mamoru Hosoda is now a world-renowned director of award-winning animated films, but his humble beginnings were with Digimon. This video essay explores his career, with a focus on the indelible fingerprints he forever left on the Digimon franchise.
