* Creator/YoshiyukiTomino is an odd case. Fans who love his darker and more serious works like ''[[Anime/MobileSuitZetaGundam Zeta Gundam]]'' and ''Anime/SpaceRunawayIdeon'' (which earned him the nickname "KillEmAll Tomino") are often shocked or put off by his lighter fare like ''[[Anime/MobileSuitGundamZZ Gundam ZZ]]'' and ''Anime/{{Xabungle}}''. In this case, Tomino tends to let his current mood affect his writing, and his darker works were done during periods of CreatorBreakdown while his lighter shows come during periods where he's doing better. Ever since 1999's ''Anime/TurnAGundam'' he seems to have gotten completely over his darker side and acknowledges his flaws, culminating in an AlternateContinuity movie version of ''Zeta'' with a happier ending.
