That reminds me a lot of what I hated about Evangelion 3.0 with Shinji's character. It didn't matter to Anno that his development in the film was hella contrived and irrational, he was hell bent on making the character reach a certain conclusion. That sort of storytelling can be toxic. A creator has to be able to logically develop the character to reach a certain conclusion, not force it. Although you may disagree Enzo, knowing your blog comments, I actually feel this is why Gen is one of the industry's top writers. His characters might not provoke the most emotion out of anyone, but he is able to make them develop in logical manners. There's no TEH TWEEST for the hell of it.
And as it pertains to Okada... I wish she practiced what she preaches because I hardly believe much of what she is saying in her interviews.
