Obviously that was a bit of a simplification, but I was more talking about the general, "light or dark" tone of a show. Correct me if I'm wrong, but I'd imagine that gets decided pretty early on in the process.

I'm a pretty big Kobayashi fan, so it's easy for me to see the common DNA between shows as different as the one's she's written, but that's something you might not even notice if you don't actively think about it.

Whatever Ex-Aid is gonna be like is what it's gonna be like, regardless of the writer. I'm getting more and more excited for it with every bit of news though, and despite all the stuff I just said, I'm happy to see Toei not just bringing in old writers for all their shows every year.
