I'm not really sure what to think about this. I don't watch anime anymore, so I know very little about the writer's others shows beyond just some stuff I've heard about Madoka. I'm always up for a new writer on the franchise, though, instead of just bringing back Kobayashi or Inoue again. I'm kinda iffy on the suit designs, though, and the concept of more dancing worries me after Kyoryuger. The plot also sounds a little close to the new Garo series from that small blurb. Still, I'll definitely watch it and hope it turns out awesome.

At the very least, none of the characters is dressed like Shunpei.

The new Garo series' plot is also very similar to Ultra Seven X's plot, so it's not that original. Kobayashi or Inoue got nothing on Urobutcher, this guy's writing is very much never ending darkness. This is the guy who almost died in an epidemic, that he choose to put dark, tragic settings and plot twists in his stories. This is the guy who said that he can no longer write happy endings to his stories as he put it:
"I have nothing but contempt for the deceitful thing men call 'happiness', and find myself with no choice but to push my characters, whom I pour my heart and soul out to create, into the abyss of tragedy."

This is a writer who is influenced by H.P. Lovecraft novels and the cosmic horror genre.
No, Inoue and Kobayashi got shit on him.

While he has mellowed somewhat recently, I hope he will bring some of his trademark nihilism to the series. To anyone who thinks this will be cheerful like Den-O, think again
