Anime production is all about who you know. Itou P (from Kadokawa) has always been their person heading to KyoAni since day 1 (and helped push
Munto into a TV series/movie). The other big person from Kadokawa is Takeshi Yasuda (who's helping with
Miyakawa-ke's Hunger). On the other side, you had Nakayama/Nakamura from TBS who helped with the Key series/K-On!. (I can't find anyone from Pony Canyon at the moment on the Key side).
Hideaki Hatta has been on the producers for everything they've done from Kadokawa, so he's the one that has the good relationships with them. The TBS producers have worked with Yoko Hatta. They do have an in with Aniplex regarding Kozue Kananiwa, who was a producer with Movic and has worked with several Aniplex titles.
