I turned up that the next episode director is Matsumoto Rie, who directed ep 12. It's definitely promising! I usually don't watch this series, but I happened to watch her episode for some reason. That episode made me her fan at one blow. The coming episode is a must watch for me. Thank you, SuperKnuckles. If you hadn't brought up the preview, I would have pass over her episode. I can't wait!
As for the Urara episode, it's because of Tanaka Hiroki that they were well animated. I've heard he spend his own money on achieving his ideal, but could it be?

Are you going to say "budget"? Wait! Is your point really related to budget? Isn't it time or style?
Simply put, production time is consistency, and budget is framerate.
Even poor animation is costlier than a high-quality still shot.
