I'd say that depends on the specifics of the situation.
Were they trying to appeal to the same target audiences or age groups? No. Do they belong to the same genre? No. Were they made using the same tones, techniques or subject matter? No. Is the rest of the staff similar? No, there's some overlap but they're not really the same.
If you hear that someone who just did a very good personal drama/realistic slice-of-life series is going to work on an fantasy/sci-fi giant robot show next, it would be reasonable to have adjusted expectations as opposed to keeping them on a similar level. Some people do drama better than robots, or robots better than comedy, or comedy better than drama, etc. And you can break that down into specific sub-genres even more.
You're just now watching it for the first time? I haven't worked up the courage yet.

The first 30 minute felt like 2 year in prison.
EDIT : oh wait that's the symbolism for Shinji!

Bow to the power of Brain Base.
The shift in animation studio is pretty noticeable not just in how it looks, but the pacing of the show, the interactions between the characters, all the fun stuff. And, I like the change.
The episode itself was oddly paced, as it was almost like a clip show without much clips being shown. But, it was enjoyable and I'm completely ready to watch season 2 now.

I'd waited so long to watch it and I find myself putting it off day in and day out. I liken it to a dreaded doctor or dental appointment where you know you're going to get bad news but you can live willfully ignorant as to whatever the details might be until you finally get to that appointment.

The good news is that in this case, you don't have to go to the appointment.
I know, but to me that's different. It really seems like he just came up with the original idea ("hey, let's make a series about dolls!") and managed to get himself properly credited for it, which isn't really the same thing as personally handling the show. At best he's going to be providing useful advice, and at worst he'll be the backseat driver who gives the actual director instructions, as opposed to getting his hands dirty and doing what needs to be done.
That said, I'll still check this out for curiosity's sake. It's not what I'm usually into though.

Did you finish Tutu?
I can't wait until the hopes of the people still desperately clinging to the belief that Rebuild is all an elaborate troll and that 4.4444444 S: Suckening is going to have some kind of genius mindfuck payoff that makes it all retroactively worth it are violently crushed.
No I got four left. Shit was about to get crazy. But I got preoccupied with Madoka and everybody told me to blitz through it as a safeguard against spoilers.

I just hope it continues to troll Evangelion fans.
Sounds like you have a fun week planned.
The true troll is that there isn't one.
Is that a tentacle?
The genius part is that, in every scenario, Anno wins.

I'll hold your hand as you go then.
I've never watched the actual thing, but I remember having a great time reading an "All About Geki Ganger 3" booklet that was included with some Animage issue.

Yuno lost her keys! Great eps with something for all the ships. You should never try to pick a lock if you don't have the skills. High chance of one fucking it up permanently.

No one told me QB had delicious brown girls!
SDBurton didn't make us waifus for nothing.
The real surprise would be discovering a fetish that Queen's Blade doesn't cover.
I can think of a few.
Um... there are probably a few.

I'm sure one of the girls is also a furry.

Well that pic did remind me of Binkan Salaryman, which is fuckin hilarious. Pootan is second I guess.
No matter what happens, entertainment will be had. Whether it's through a genius mindfuck, or the collective whining of the fans.

I actually think that this is one of the more interesting things that the movie does (amidst a lot of other very well done moments).
Because the villain dies at the beginning and isn't particularly developed (at least as an active participant in the plot as opposed to backstory and set up), the film is instead very focused on the idea of technology running amok being the danger the characters face. Specifically, in the case, technology which isn't completely understood by the people who use it (or the people in charge), and which is relied on for everything. The pervasive operating system which has its hands in everything is the real villain.
he unleashes that amazing grin as he drops down

You should probably at least mention that this is an Evangelion 3.0 spoiler because there's no context to your post!
Not really.

RIDING BEAN may be the perfect self contained OVA but I'd argue this is the perfect OVA series. The way Kazuo Koike's insane male power fantasies works with this utterly amazing dub job have me at a complete loss for words. This should be at the very top of THE LIST purely just for how amazing it is.
If you're only gonna watch one gory cheesefest anime in your lifetime, be sure to make it this one. Do it for Sleepy.
