Yep, it's really him. I'll post what I said in episode 23 thread here to answer your curiosity:

Thank god Origin 1 is directed by Yasuhiko and Imanishi instead of Tomino again. Better to contain Tomino’s crazyness in his own brand new series.

And I still think this series is better than AGE. Why? because G-Reco really knows what it wants and totally aims for it (although it left the audience confused as a result). On the other hand, AGE doesn't seem to know what it wants to be, a grimdark war-story or a kid-friendly show. The result is a series where characters killed (and got killed) left and right due to war (which should be too much for kids) but the narrative itself is oversimplified to accomodate kids that makes many longtime Gundam fans bored or, worse, not caring and simply abandon the show. And don't even get me started on Kio...
