Except that most anime are really just composed of still frames and pans with mouth flaps, so something "looking good in motion" means very little when things are not going to be in motion the majority of the time.

I didn't know that, but it would explain why both the novel and anime art are so good.
Either way, it's not just the art style itself in the new PV that bothers me; it actually resembles Masayoshi Tanaka's work a little (especially the mouths), and I'm kind of a fan of his style. What I dislike is not only that the designs are quite genericized, but that it looks significantly worse and less accurate to the source than every other KEY adaptation (barring, of course, Toei's).
