Compiled by Richard Llewellyn. May 12, 2007 Introduction Rintaro has one of the most distinguished records among anime directors, yet finding information about his works (much less about him) has proven to be difficult. Gathering the following information meant going to many sources: from the smattering of information contained in the English language anime magazines to Internet sites maintained by devoted fans of his work (see below). Fortunately, Phillippe Christin has made an excellent French source available to me. This has made it possible to complete this filmography. Shigeyuki Hayashi was born on January 22, 1941. He began his career in animation with Toei Doga in the late 1950s. In the early sixties he went to work for Osamu Tezuka's Mushi Productions. While with Tezuka he adopted the pseudonym of Rintaro. At Mushi he worked on a number of different television series. Since 1971 he has been a freelancer but has worked extensively with Group TAC, then with Madhouse. During the seventies he cemented his positition as one of the best television anime directors. In the eighties and nineties he has worked primarily on movies and oavs (original animated videos). Although I believe the following list of titles is now substantially complete I still need information on some of the entries. And, of course, I would still appreciate any corrections of mistakes and any additional information about Rintaro and his work.

Each entry contains: date of first showing (or broadcast dates for television series) Japanese title title translation(s) first title is a literal English translation of the Japanese title other titles in English and other languages are versions released in other countries production studio(s) type of production movie (theatrical movie) oav (original animated video, a program made to be released to the home video market on video tape, laser disc, and/or digital video disc) television (either television series or special, television series will have the range of dates of original airing) program timings for movies, oavs, and television specials; number of episodes in television series (television series episodes are normally about 23 minutes long) Rintaro's role(s) in the production of the anime
