This show having the same director as Joker Game doesn't really fill me with a lot of confidence, thinking back on the bizarre, conservative tonal shift in its last few episodes, though I guess he comes packaged with the studio.

Trailer looks good, otherwise, but I suppose with Soma Saito as Moriarty, we can be reasonably sure he'll be dead by the end.

Was that the director? I know the episodes all share titles with the original short stories, but I've never read the books, so I don't know how close they are. Either way, the basic premise of Joker Game was already Tom Clancy levels of conservative fantasy.

I’m excited to see Stereo Dive Foundation is doing the theme song as I always love their songs and I can’t wait to hear what their new one is like.

Well, somebody (director, writer, or both) took chapters that were in anachronic order, and decided to end the series on a note that basically undermined the tone of the prior episodes. Probably less of a risk of that here, but if ANN wants to remind me that this show shares staff (director and writer) with Joker Game, that will inevitably be what comes to mind.
