Mebae is working at picograph, the studio that produced Tailenders. Though he's mostly known for freelance illustration/manga work and of course as pixiv artist.

Tatsunoko doesn't have any major business with Gainax, so it's doubtful Gainax will assist with any episode. I'd rather expect they will ship out animation to Wombat/Mark as those are their major subcontractors and some korean studios. As for single Gainax animators appearing to do some major sequences, anything is possible.

I'm more concerned about the priority of the project, Tatsunoko didn't do much animation work the recent years and now three TV shows in one season, one of them being a SJ title, and there's still the OVAs they are doing on the side. A bit worrisome.

Thank you. That's really nice stuff.
