Biography

Mari Okada is known for Maquia: When the Promised Flower Blooms (2018), Her Blue Sky (2019) and Tokyo Halloween Night (2013).

She frequently writes the scripts for animation projects animated by P.A. Works.

The screenplay is like the top batter in an anime production. The screenplay lets out the first shot, and the stronger the strike is the more it resonates with everyone else like ripples from a wave. On the other hand, if my strike is weak, then the others will only follow along perfunctorily. That's why I want to write screenplays that can resonate with the staff and bring out their best efforts. And in order to write such screenplays, I try to include some experiences or other things that have left a strong impression on me.
