Meanwhile, he is also working with AKB0048 as well right now. The problem is always his pacing in stories. I haven't seen a well-paced story since Do You Remember Love. He has this problem with series. Perhaps, if he was a movie-only type person, it would work better.

In regards to ideas, it is quite possible he got those while doing MF. I doubt he had inspiration to continue Aquarion before MF. He seemed just fine working on MF.

I can still remember when I heard that he didn't want to make sequels to Macross... yet, look at all the sequels there has been from him. Aquarion might come to turn out the same way with cliches like that. (We all know Macross' is overused: future/current pilot meets singer/future singer, an idol rises to fame, another idol falls, mature girl wins love triangle, happy/bittersweet ending, and the end.)

Maybe he shouldn't multi-task series either...
That makes sense. The story doesn't flow well, and things sometimes seem rushed. Maybe he saw that fanbase was wanting a follow-up series and decided to just do it.

And I agree. He is falling prey to the cliches he sets up.
