Career shape
A full career of 282 titles from 1939 to 1972.
Counts from TMDB across their full career, self appearances out; a title counts in every role they held on it. The ring is the typical Midcredits score (the median percentile) of the role's titles that are on MovieCove, shown from 5 scored.
How do Ichirō Saitō's films land?
Their typical MovieCove film has a Midcredits score in the 91st percentile, the median of the 14 of 15 with a score; across their 13 films with reception data, the typical film sits in the 87th percentile for acclaim.
- 75th and up12
- 50th to 74th2
Shape of the crowd
None of their 14 titles divides audiences: 9 are Crowd Pleasers.
- Universally Loved5
- Crowd Pleaser9
Reviewers score the sound and music 62/100 in their films, across 6 reviewed titles; fans 65, detractors 43. The element that speaks to their work as a composer.
Percentiles are each film's standing among all films on MovieCove; the typical film is the median, so one outlier cannot drag it. Percentiles and reviewer scores count the films IMDb credits them on, for now; the Midcredits score bands, the shape of the crowd and the two cards count their MovieCove titles, shows included (a show ranked among shows), appearances as themselves left out. A descriptor is the shape of a title's IMDb rating distribution against the catalog; "most divisive" needs a spread wider than half of all titles, and a card names only a principal credit: a craft role, and on a show a crew role or a run of episodes, never a courtesy credit or a one-off guest spot.
