I've talked to him on Facebook before. He has his opinions, but I don't think he wants to give the team credit, that might have something to do with departure or the convoluted bs they did with DOAD's story that felt like an Itagaki write-off...
It's really sad to me Itagaki wont come back ever, his production quality was essential to me at one point and it's gone forever.
For DOA? Yes he would. Best to ask him on FB. It's literally not that hard.
