@BreakApart True. But he has worked on a lot of successful and talented productions. It's very interesting when these kind of guys get a chance to direct, I think a lot of them knock it out of the park.

Yamashita Akihiko and Tachikawa Yuzuru being the top two that come to my mind.

Other than the director, staff seems pretty competent. The director hasn't worked on any director role so far.
