This is an interesting point, as we have had some series go more light hearted after serious tragedies. Though if we consider all cases sometimes this isn't the case, Ryuki for example was partly put into production as a reaction to 9/11 and that's quite a serious show with a lot of very dark themes. Zero-One's finale was produced a ways into the pandemic which affected the lives of kids in Japan quite dramtically, but the ending was quite serious and bleak at many points. So I'm not sure "tragedy = more light hearted rider" is a total rule by any means

As said above me as well I'm not sure if this is a tragedy that will mean much to children, so it's hard to know how much they'll take this into account... certainly if the show was going to have a villainous politician as an antagonist or smth like that I could see that being removed, but I'm not sure if the whole show would need to be reworked if it does lean serious but has nothing to do with politics, politicians, or "realistic" violence

Like I would not be shocked at all if some changes are made, but unless politicians were a big part of the show, I doubt this is a "scrap everything and start over" situation
