-Okada thought "Gattai is forbidden" was a good catchphrase. She wanted to add more romance to Aquarion (what she thought were the good parts of Aquarion). Kawamori writes the outline of his anime, but he let the scriptwriter do what she wants with the contents, Okada was a bit worried for such freedom. Kawamori said he chose her because he watched True Tears and he liked Jibeta.

OKAY! That's definitely a troll answer. Really the chicken as the favorite TT character?

-Andy wasn't originally meant to be there, but Okada felt she needed a "male who loves pretty girl" (ie: the friend of Tokimeki Memorial's MC). Kawamori was surprised when she put such kind of character. Even Okada herself was surprised to have proposed him. She thought Andy was the "hole" of Kawamori, so she was able to turn it into a regular. MIX has always been a class rep, but she was originally a gentle bigger sister type. Some member of the staff was complaining MIX was not MIX anymore after Okada's changes. Andy and MIX were two characters easy to depict and to made fall in love.

. No wonder that "hole" line was so overused.

-It was Kawamori the one who wanted to turn MIX in a boy. In fact, Kawamori tried to put in an amazing joke, but the producer stopped him, and it became a blooper. It was a very funny joke, so Okada will try to use it if she will have the chance.

Well, we all know what happened when Okada initially wanted to make AnoHana a raunchy romcom. She migrated her ideas to this anime! And if this wasn't as raunchy as both Okada and Kawamori wanted, have mercy on our souls on what they do with their next major project (after AKB00048)

-According to Okada, Satelight is a curious place. They work on schedule but they enjoy what they do. Normally you don't hold much loft events, and even if wanted to, someone would reply "now we can't do it". In Satelight they get excited as if it was a school festival. It feels like a place where you can laugh together even when you really don't have the time to. She thinks it's thanks to the fact there are people of various age groups. Nowadays in many companies you don't have adults, many people over 30 leave. In this sense Satelight doesn't feel like an anime company, but they are still full of enthusiasm. Kawamori is the most broad minded of all, and it's like all people in the staff are united to grant his wishes. Even in the most strict situations, when Kawamori gets an idea he can't be stopped. People think they are having hard, but when they see what were able to do they are amazed. While doing meeting for the scenario Okada got accustomed to travelling, she noticed she doesn't need a change of clothes if it's just one night.

Funny coming from you Ms Okada, because you know, I could say the same about you!
This interview has further supported my view that Okada and Kawamori are both batsh*t insane
Now I'm worried that Kawamori is gonna get Okada on board for the new Macross... god have mercy on our souls ...
