Last time he was listed for genga in a TV episode was in 2014, and only because someone else directed it. You have to look back 22 years to find him credited for animation in an episode of his. Once KyoAni took off, people like him & Ishidate embraced Kigami's approach of self-uncredited animation
Noriyuki Kitanohara animated moments like everyone's favorite chase sequence in Nichijou #02, so ofc he comes up with excuses to add similarly crazy bursts of BG animation in CITY. He said he was checking this scene in June 2024 but it feels like he animated it from scratch, uncredited as usual

It's systemic at the studio too, for as much as the project selection under their previous (until recent) leader was so attuned to the sensibilities of critics that their shortcomings are always whitewashed. Even as a massive fan of the one director being favored rn, this is embarrassing

But it always had the material limitations of a side project while being forced to masquerade as a high-profile megahit. This was always apparent by looking at the team so this downfall, the complete aesthetic collapse & production struggle swith structural repercussions were highly predictable
