This has the ring of truth, for me. I can't figure out how he can afford the detail in this show -- but that goes for most KyoAni shows, too, no matter who the director is. It'll work if they sell a lot of DVDs and other goods.
I notice that Ordet (Yamakan's company) gets billing more or less equal to A-1. Perhaps A-1 is covering itself by contracting with Ordet for deliverables, rather than just hiring Yamakan and taking all the financial risk itself.
On the other hand, he may be a perfectionist in some ways, but it appears that he's not a stickler for perfect continuity (the missed hug scene) or having all the backgrounds make perfect sense (the unnecessary underpass). Neither of those things bothered me, in context.
