I love how in tune this is with Yoshinari's design and animation style. You can see how the poses are drawn with a balance of contrasting curves, something unusual in anime and a part of his unique style. And Sakamoto has seemingly added it to his approach to this cut at a foundational level, even before Yoshinari might add his flair as episode or animation director. Possibly these kind of details existed in the storyboard and are what guided this approach.
