Storytelling philosophy

[edit]

In a May 2026 interview, Ōkouchi discussed his screenwriting philosophy, noting that he prioritizes the "emotional gray areas" of his characters to keep the audience engaged. He emphasized that in series like Code Geass, the political conflict serves as a backdrop to the personal growth and moral dilemmas of the protagonists.[2]
