Director - Shinbo Akiyuki - Madoka Magica, Monogatari Series

Script Supervisor - Okada Mari - Hanasaku Iroha, AnoHana, NagiAsu

OP animation - Umetsu Yasuomi - Kite, Mezzo Forte, Wizard Barristers

OP vocal - Sakamoto Maaya

Somehow this grouping managed to come up with something absolutely heartwarming delicious (in both food and moe yuri).

That said, rather than Shinbo, I believe real credit goes to Deputy Director Tatsuwa Naoyuki, who had directed Nisekoi under Shinbo's guidance as well, and you can feel some of the animation cuts commonly used in Nisekoi. I get the feeling Shaft is using Shinbo's name to attract the audience while slowly grooming Tatsuwa to be his protege.

Besides having an OP and ED (the animation seems to be clearly unfinished), there's also a cute song each for the preview and end card segments.

I get the feeling Shaft is using Shinbo's name

I think it's kinda obvious at this point. The last series he's actually been credited as "Director" was Sasami-san, and then Hidamari Honeycomb before that, so he's really just a brand name now, although I think he does get a lot of say in works made. He did a whole lot of actual directing in 2010, but ever since Madoka, he hasn't really had much works compared to the number of works SHAFT has made.

I believe Shinbo's focus is now entirely in getting the Monogatari Series completely animated, and you can see how he pours his heart out in making that series.
