Appreciate animation pls

Imaishi is a one hit wonder that's been remaking Dead Leaves over and over. I still don't get why anyone would think Kill la Kill would/will be noteworthy.  I'm looking over his stuff now and creatively I see no progress. I still like his stuff in FLCL the most, because it was really exaggerated, almost a parody of Kanada in a way. After the crap that was Panty & Stocking (flash animation? really?) I lost any kind of "trust" in the Imaishi crew. It's kind of amusing to see everyone underwhelmed by the Kill la Kill preview to be honest.

It's 30 seconds, but how much better will the real deal be? If TTGL is any indication, not much better. They'll blow their stuff on some set-piece in episode X, and will slap some shit together to fill the cracks in episodes Y and Z. That's the old school thing to do, and Imaishi is old school: "Meh", I say.
