Questions for Story Editors Joe D' Ambrosia and Tom Teves:

For anime fans unfamiliar with the behind the scenes process, can you both please describe what it is you do?

Both of you have worked together in Astro Boy in 2003 as a producer, and compare to Blood+, Astro Boy is nowhere near to the violence that accompanies Blood+. The opening scene alone is very violent. What came to your mind when you saw all the violent in this animated series?

You both have plenty of responsibilities as a story editor, and assuming that both of you have to make recommended changes in the story line, what do you think the biggest recommendation or feedback that the both of you had to suggest to make the series more dramatic and feasible to the American audiences?
