One of his main specialty is that he has a mercenary mindset with his craft, meaning the result may not be satisfactory but he will help wrap things up. So even if his stuff is considered not good by us industry still loves him because he pulled through for them.
Great example of this? Hibiki. Takatera of Kuuga and Hibiki fame got booted during Hibiki for being the auteur he is and Inoue helped wrap things up. Show sucked after he got involved such as character inconsistencies, but try to look at it from Toei's side for a moment. I am a fan of Takatera's run of Hibiki, but I can imagine how hard it would have been for Toei as Takatera's methods required heavy budget spending. And no matter how beautiful it looked Hibiki's toy sales did not make back a lot too if I recall so he had to get booted. So Takatera is out. What does Toei do? Hire someone who can get the job done. It all boils down to that sadly.
But again, look on the bright side, at least it was not Yonemura.
I'd have happily taken Yonemura instead. It wouldn't have been much better, but Hibiki was before Kabuto, Decade, and all the Superhero Taisen movies. It would feel much more fresh than more Inoue. Yonemura on Hibiki wouldn't have just felt like Diet Faiz and I can guarantee you Kiriya would have never happened.
