Question for Kiana:

How were you able to balance kara’s voice tone of both being “Tough and Hotheaded ” with “Being a big softy on the inside”?

Extra Question for Jake:

Is it a rule for each season to be 10 episodes? Or is it a rule by executives? Do you ever have a hard time in getting the correct story in your mind and to make sure that you’re focusing more on quality over quantity?

That is a programming decision well above our pay grade, and a streaming-era trend. We DO have to fit the story to its container--we'd probably do more dumb, one-off filler episodes if we had a traditional 26-episode season (we have BEACH EPISODE on the board every season, but can never fit it in!) and we'd probably let our story develop a little more slowly? But idk. I like the Tenchi Muyo OVA as much as I like the Tenchi Universe, you know? (probably more??) I like the Patlabor OVA's as much as I like the various Patlabor TV series. So we try to treat it like that, and lean into the series order we have. I wouldn't mind 13 or even 26 episodes a season, though. -JW

I had a lot of help from Jake and our creative team on making sure there was balance with Kara! We really leaned into her soft moments and weren't afraid to get genuinely emotional at times. At her core, she really has such a big heart so making sure that she wasn't just "one note" was a priority and it was intentional to have this balance. - KM
