I agree with Reckoner. Mari Okada is getting a little too much credit for her work on adaptations, far more than other writers I've noticed (which puzzles me). I'm not saying she should get no credit at all (she definitely does a good job on adaptations, in fact, it's probably her strongest suit), but most of it should belong to the original writer, not her, unless the anime made a lot of changes and is a significant improvement over the original material.
As a writer, she should be judged on her own original works, which are very varying in quality to say the least. For each of her series I've liked, there are some I hated. I feel so ambivalent towards her it's not even funny. I wish she were more consistent -one way or another- so I could finally make up my mind about her.
