COMMENTS
Compare to the o.g.f. of A110501, the unsigned Genocchi numbers (of first kind):
Sum_{n>=0} n!^2 * x^(n+1) / Product_{k=1..n} (1 + k^2*x).

FORMULA
O.g.f.: A(x) = 1/(1-x*(1+x)/(1-2*x/(1-4*x*(1+x)/(1-6*x*(1+x)/(1-9*x*(1+x)/(1-12*x*(1+x)/(... -[(n+1)/2]*[(n+2)/2]*x*(1+x)/(1- ...)))))))) (continued fraction).
a(n) = Sum_{k=0..[n/2]} binomial(n-k,k) * A110501(n+1), where A110501(n) = 2*(-1)^n*(1-4^n)*B_{2*n} (B = Bernoulli numbers).
a(n) ~ 2^(2*n+5) * n^(2*n+5/2) / (exp(2*n) * Pi^(2*n+3/2)). - Vaclav Kotesovec, Nov 02 2014
EXAMPLE
O.g.f.: A(x) = 1 + x + 4*x^2 + 23*x^3 + 209*x^4 + 2744*x^5 + 49539*x^6 + ...
where
A(x) = 1 + x*(1+x)/(1+x+x^2) + 2!^2*x^2*(1+x)*(1+x)/((1+x+x^2)*(1+4*x+4*x^2)) + 3!^2*x^3*(1+x)*(1+x)*(1+x)/((1+x+x^2)*(1+4*x+4*x^2)*(1+9*x+9*x^2)) + 4!^2*x^4*(1+x)*(1+x)*(1+x)*(1+x)/((1+x+x^2)*(1+4*x+4*x^2)*(1+9*x+9*x^2)*(1+16*x+16*x^2)) + ...
