The other odd thing about the staff is that the novelist is the series composition guy, and there is a "main writer" under him. I'm wondering if all this is a way to keep control in the hands of the novelist.

As far as I'm concerned, it's working. This is a very strange series, but with episode three is definitely one of my favorites of the season. Good character design, barely adequate animation, but excellent voice work (Itou Kanae, Taketatsu Ayana, Okamoto Nobuhiko), and fascinating characters. They may be versions of standard memes, but they are unique versions, viewed from some different angle, and the emotions really come through, especially in ep3.

Not really that big of a deal. Series have episode directors that change all the time, but there's always someone supervising the whole thing one way or another.

I saw a bit of the first episode and I can't say that I'm a fan of Itagaki's style. I have to echo what was said on Anipages and say that Itagaki overstylizes his animation to the point where it just becomes noise. I can't say if the whole episode was like that, but the part he animated was unmistakable.
