He apparently was dumbfounded having played a superhero who was all about putting out fires and taking care of disasters for a year and then seeing THAT.

*Laughs* I'd imagine so. He sounds like the kind of guy who'd make a company want to pull their hair out.

He was a producer, actually, but he's definitely the source of a lot of the more artsy elements of both those shows. By comparison, (actual) Hibiki's head writer went on to also be the head writer for Wizard.[/QUOTE]

Really? I don't remember much of Wizard but what I do remember doesn't really give me a Hibiki vibe. Then again, I haven't seen Wizard in almost three years at this point and Hibiki since around Christmas time 2016 so forgive me if my memories on those shows are a bit fuzzy.

True but isn't that part of the adventure? Besides, as plenty of shows have shown us before, a good writer won't be hindered by toys. In fact, sometimes they enhance it.
