Oh, that kind of animation and look was certainly, no, wait, 120% intentional. It's a perfect example of an idiosyncratic animation scene where you're supposed to recognize the effort of one single talented animator drawing a scene with key drawings only (without the usual inbetweens). Too bad many people only look for "pretty" (generic) character designs and automatically give a poor animation rating when they discover such scenes with strange looking characters in an episode. To learn more about idiosyncratic animation in anime overall, I recommend AniPages.
