There were also quite a few instances where background characters would be animated with some care, instead of simply standing there and doing nothing, or having next to no animation. Like in that classroom scene. You had a girl flipping the pages and moving around, winking, the person below was also talking to someone before, while the other guy is passing by and actually notices on girl with brown hair. Then the other one comes into the scene and passes by the guy and also takes the time to look at somewhere and even says something, then proceeds with her life. Is there any reason to have so much going into the background at the same time when all you want to show is the main chick making a fuss with the other one? Probably not, but it's the sort of animation detail which Kyoto Animation shows are full of. And this isn't really "cheap" to make, if you're actually animating them properly, making it possible to figure out more than a simple bystander doing nothing or moving their mouths.
Other than that, though, proceed!

Kyoto Animation does not have a monopoly on detail in the anime industry.
There's a few sequences that aren't just static images and where's there's some complex motion, I don't really see that as special so much as.....normal. Though sometimes you wouldn't know it seeing how phoned in a lot of the animation for school based shows can be.
