Mahiro Maeda to design 2016 Godzilla?

Speaking of designs, I think this is rather interesting:

As for Iris's design, sure it's original, very unique and the monster even looks beautiful at times, however does it ever give off the vibe of scary, or fearful? I never got that feeling from Iris, or Legion for that matter. The only monsters in the Gamera trilogy that might instill fear is probably Gyaos, or Gamera in the final part maybe. This Godzilla keeps being referred to with words of nightmare and fear, but looking at the past monsters I didn't get much of that from Mahiro, and Iris was the perfect monster to create this feeling with. The Gamera killer, a monster that was made to give kill the only monster that could stop the Gyaos, but while it is a beautiful unique monster, it didn't fill my idea of fear. 

Mahiro also does work for animation and I haven't seen all his work in that but Escaflowne, and Evangelion. Interesting designs once again, but don't really fulfill the role of fear, especially the majority of the Angels who were supposed to bring us death.

^I don't really agree with that. Yeah, Iris has some beautiful moments, but he's also very errie as well. Not nightmarishly so, but certainly the design adds the subtext. Legion is more full on, however. Especially the soldiers.

And if the designs in EVA don't fit some form of nightmare manifestation... then I just don't want to know how messed up your nightmares are...

Not saying none of the Angels had a dark nightmarish form, but from what I remember of the original series like 4 were essentially humanlike, one was actually a person, one was a diamond, one was an eyeball, one was like a lightning bird, and another was a glowing circle.

Sure there were a few that generally fit the nightmare look, but at least half weren't anything impressive in comparison.
