I don't know the director, but for me the staff is not that bad (i don't expect too much form Gonzo but i think i'll give a chance to them for this). Mori Takeshi worked on various Bones anime such as Eureka7, Rah or Wolf's Rain which were, at least for the visual part, pretty good . Oohnogi's screenplays are generally decent if not well executed, both Arjuna and Noein had a quite solid plot. Even though this is not an original work i might aspect a satisfying adaptation of the novel, like the work he's doing in Birdy. Murata is an amazing illustrator, his chara was the only reason that keep me watching Last Exile till the end.
However, even i'll be glad to see more Murata, some illustration of Shangri-La were done by Kenichi Yoshida. Here same samples while the rest is on his site: Actually i like Yoshida's style even more than Murata's so that's a pity he isn't the animation director/chara design :/
