As far as I'm concerned, Watanabe has only made two good anime: Bebop and Champloo. He's one of the most overrated director in the industry.
And yes, Dandy was terrible. Couldn't even make it past the first season. And let's not forget Zankyou no Terror The synopsis makes it sound like this show will be another stinker buuuuut Chad Stahelski and the musicians might save it. If nothing else, it will have great action and music.

But yes, I think most of us are just clinging to what little hope we have left that he might one day be able to recapture the magic of Bebop and Champloo, even though (IMO) the evidence suggests he has long since lost his touch. And Lazarus doesn't really sound like his great comeback to me either, but we'll see, I guess. Hopefully it won't be as bad as Zankyou no Terror (not a high bar, I know). |

I don't count Kids on the Slope because it was an adaptation. Even then, I have a lot of issues with it.

Music and visual direction look nice, which is not a surprise since Watanabe almost always delivers in those areas. As pinoscotto suggested above, what we really need to know now is who is writing this because that is probably what is going to determine whether this will be another dud or an actual return to form for Watanabe.
