Why is Yasuko Kobayashi so beloved?

[chronoxiong]

I think Kobayashi is one of the best female writers I have ever heard about. She's very talented and has written some good shows. That's why I think she's beloved. It seems like most of the discussions in this thread is about her Toku work. I have to say that Ryuki, Den-O, and Shinkenger are her best works. I noticed she seems to have brother-sister relationships in some of her works as well. Ryuki and OOO are the examples. She seemed to take a risk with Go-Busters and it didn't go so well. You can't win them all. She's still a good writer.

In the case of Go-Busters, I don't think it helped her that she appears to have been subject to a lot of interference from Toei in an effort to boost ratings/toy sales. Almost everyone seems to agree the ending episodes were done well - perhaps because Toei's priority was now on promoting Kyoryuger and she was more free to do what she wanted. I will however acknowledge the criticism that Takebe may not be the best producer to pair her with.
