Okada does Waaaaaaaay too much work for her own good. Because of this, her recent works really have TERRIBLE writing (EVOL, AKB0048, BRS). She does make some great SOL drama imminent in parts of HanaIro, the entirety of Anohana, Horo Musuko. . . And she did adapt Toradora, a 10 volume light novel, into 25 episodes without losing emotions, developments or feeling rushed (Index aired at the same time as Toradora and only had 6 volumes to adapt yet pacing always felt off).
In any case she really deserved that Kobe award for having the whole industry (which is mostly male) depend on her and what she writes.
