It's interesting to look at some of the "extra" animation going on, most noticeably for me at least in episode 7. Continuity isn't all there though -- at the beginning of the School Store scene (approx 5:30) we see a man in a brown shirt and brown hair standing to the left of Hiro at the shelves. In the next high-angle shot he's been replaced by someone in a white shirt and grey hair.
And what's with that brown-haired girl in the same scene who walks through the shelves to the drinks display, picks up a bottle and walks back out of shot? Is this another foreshadowed character like Nazuna and Nori's appearance in x365?
That's not to say they've gone totally wild animating new characters -- in the preceding scene as lunchtime approaches we see five girls including Yunocchi and Miyako finishing up. Two of the other girls are animated if in a somewhat limited manner but the one at the back left is frozen solid. Maybe the budget didn't stretch *quite* that far.
