Gonzo? That does concern me a bit... maybe there will be a good staff... In case you didn't know, at some point they went bankrupt but now they're back. The last two cour anime they made was Last Exile: Fam, The Silver Wing, in 2011. Visually, I don't expect much, but maybe I'll be pleasantly surprised, I look forward to the key visual. The last time Gonzo adapted a WSJ manga was 2005 (Black Cat). October sounds good, maybe the staff will save the day.
Are they a better choice than Toei? Proabably. Rest in pieces the Production I.G dream.
