I hope he didn't get stuck in an overly commercialised project that ends up being contrived, and that he gets to exert enough control over the show itself so that it remains quality...

But alright, I suppose it can't go to the level of GSD, that's just way too low. I don't see him or Ookouchi delaying scripts and using loads of stock animation... however, it might just be like GS (which most people would like, I guess, but I would like a lot more realism to make it a beliveable story, which would make it 10000x better)
Valid concern, but I don't believe it will be an issue, and I do think the entire concept itself was developed by Taniguchi and Ookouchi iirc. What I DO think will be an issue, is the CLAMP factor. I'm pretty sure it's been mentioned that they had *some* input into the development of the show aside from character designs, so we'll see...

Although I stil think my biggest surprise about the whole thing is that Taniguchi is doing another show for Sunrise. Although I never read anything that indicated it, I kinda thought that he left Sunrise for good once he began work on GxS at AIC...but he's back...
