The rookie looks rather 'moe', though. What is he on about? Compared to GITS the character designs look cutesy.
They're certainly not 'moe' in the typical anime way. I think she's meant to look somewhat innocent because her being somewhat innocent is actually a Thing, not because they want to sell figurines of her where you can see her underwear.

Her eyes are the size of the stroopwaffels they sell at Starbucks and she doesn't have a nose. I thought that was the moe thing? Anyway, I'll shut up until I've seen the first episode.
It's pretty toned down compared to actual moe shows.

Urobuchi wrote that fanfic, and he probably got some inspiration from Equilibrum, but I doubt he literally just copy pasted that old fanfic to make an anime.

It's not the derivative matter that was the issue, but rather the fact that Urobuchi has been toying with these ideas already and they haven't worked for him.
He wrote it nearly 10 years ago. I think he's allowed to give the concept another go after that long.
