Directed by Shinichirō Watanabe, director/creator of Cowboy Bebop, Samurai Champloo, and Space Dandy.
Action sequences are choreographed by Chad Stahelski, famously creator/director of John Wick, and the stunt director for The Matrix.
Kamasi Washington is probably the leading jazz/funk artists in the game. This is a solid win on a music and vibes front, which is one of the primary reasons people loved Cowboy Bebop so much.
Dai Satō, one of the core writers, was a core/defining writer of Cowboy Bebop, Ergo Proxy, Eureka Seven, and Ghost in the Shell: Stand Alone Complex.
It's a dream team, with a lot of excitement, as they have very few misses.

A lot of people are excited for this series because it's directed by Shinichirou Watanabe, known for series such as Cowboy Bebop, Samurai Champloo, Space Dandy, and Terror in Resonance, with music by Bonobo, both of whom are famous and generally respected in their fields. Watanabe's works are usually heavily inspired by their soundtracks and often blend seemingly opposing themes into a unique audiovisual identity (jazzy space cowboys, hip hop samurai)

I think you answered it fine, but my point was more "do we have any reason to suspect this is more than a pretty trailer". I've seen lots of pretty anime trailers over the years, and although I...

I think you answered it fine, but my point was more "do we have any reason to suspect this is more than a pretty trailer".
I've seen lots of pretty anime trailers over the years, and although I can't name them off the top of my head, many failed to live up to their potential. I was just trying to figure out why people thought this one might be any different, as it's clearly making the rounds in circles outside the normal anime community.

As someone who typically avoids anime, I think the name Shinichirō Watanabe is enough to get me interested. Watching the trailer you can feel the hallmarks of his style right away, and the music definitely hearkens back to Cowboy Bebop. The plot in the trailer feels a bit similar to Knockin' on Heaven's Door, so that might be why it feels so familiar.
