Ikuhara is seen by many moonies as the definitive Sailor Moon director, due to his flair in depicting drama in Sailor Moon. Some think he even elevates the series from being just a kid's show with the way he creates a dark atmosphere. Some episodes which best exemplify this are "[Usagi's Everlasting Wish! A New Reincarnation]" and "[Death of Uranus and Neptune? Talismans Appear]". Sailor Moon SuperS also marks Ikuhara's obsession with myths and fairytales, which were lost on Sailor Moon's audience and was felt to be a factor, along with the focus on ChibiUsa instead of Usagi, towards its declining ratings in Japan.
His offbeat sense of humour is also noteworthy and episodes like "[Loved and Chased! Luna's Worst Day Ever]" seem to be the starting point for his zanier work "Shoujo Kakumei Utena".
The series which many believe to be his defining or signature work is [Shoujo Kakumei Utena], wherein he explores themes he couldn't get away with in Sailor Moon.
