The other thing that's interesting to see is that the main director, Yamakawa Yoshiki, is doing two more storyboards already, so he's continuing to be very "hands-on" in terms of the show. This is what was expected given that he did the storyboards for 9/13 episodes in his last show. It's hard for me to imagine the sort of pressure on that guy right now given the huge weight of expectations of the fans, so I find myself cheering for him.
(And also encouraging, of course, that all the scripts are being written by the main story planner, but I basically expect this to be the case for the whole show. This is actually a rather expensive and time-consuming method that isn't often used for two-cour+ shows, but obviously the story presentation is very important to them. Of course, that means all the pressure is on Michiru Shimada to find that impossible right balance...)
