NEWS: Madoka Magica & Fate/Zero's Urobuchi Plans Project for Kids

Not really sure why people think Gen can only write one type of thing.

So basically what you are saying is Gen is only capable of writing stories with a dark twist. That isn't really giving him any credit as a writer.

And it's not just with this. Everyone expecting the "dark twist" in Gargantia because Gen wrote it (even though he hasn't even wrote every episode) is also not giving him enough credit. There should be more to a story than a good plot twist. And besides if you are expecting it, it's no longer a good plot twist.

I really hope Gen can do something more than that and well I think he can.

Urobuchi Gen wants to write stories that can warm people's hearts. Those who knew about my creative history would probably furrow their brows and think this is a cold joke. Actually, I couldn't completely believe it, either. Because when I start typing out words on the keyboard, the stories my brain comes up with are always full of madness and despair. In fact, I wasn't like this before. I've often written pieces that didn't have a perfect ending, but by the last chapter the protagonist would still possess a belief that 'Although there will be many hardships to come, I still have to hold on'. But from I don't know when, I can no longer write works like this. I am full of hatred towards men's so-called happiness, and had to push the characters I poured my heart out to create into the abyss of tragedy.

I'm not saying he's incapable... but in the man's own words:

I hate that people act like Madoka was dark for the sake of a twist. It was a tragedy from start to finish. People who didn't notice the more ominous points at the start were just ignorant.
