Looking from LB back to Kanon, Why do I get the feeling that when Yoshiyuki Tomino shed his exoskeleton of depression the result was Key's Jun Maeda. Let's look at some things here:

- Both like to write extremely depressing and melodramatic stories with fantasy elements in a modern setting.

- Both are lyricists who write the lyrics for their respective works theme songs.

- Both seem (seemed) incapable of writing happy endings for their characters (and appear to hate them) and like (liked) to kill them off before the story is finished.

- The main character of their stories often appear to have an anti-social side to them (and sometimes family troubles) and in some cases can be very domineering of the women around them.

- Both oversaw something of a revolution in their respective genres in which they wrote and introduced more complex themes into areas that were once considered fairly shallow forms of entertainment.
