I mean, he is specifically skilled at recontextualizing well-worn genre tropes...

If he can do for Godzilla what he's done for magical girls, henshin heroes, and giant robots, my ass is so on board this train.

I can't wait for Destoroyah to have a tragic backstory!

I am cautiously optimistic. Mostly the latter.

So then the Kaiju's are transformed people? The Mecha-Godzilla pilot becomes a god (or Mothra, which I hear is about the same)?

Jokes aside, that does seem to be a trend for him, save his bare initial involvement with Aldnoah.Zero, with no man-gods or mechas-are-really-people tropes in sight.

What giant robot show did he do?

Cool, I guess.

The front website wrote Toei. It's Toho, not Toei.

I'm down with this. Hideaki Anno and Gen Urubuchi both giving us Godzilla within a year? Yeah, I'm down.

Uro-Butcher? Well this is gonna be a FUN series huh?

Sounds like this might be interesting, and if that image is anything to go by, it should be beautiful. Yeah, I'll definitely give this a look when it comes out.
