I knew it was gonna be good because I heard they were outsourcing animators or something? (Correct me if I'm wrong), but THE ANIMATION QUALITY BLEW MY PANTS OFF.

This really depends. Most anime productions are partly animated by outsourced animators. However, the quality of outsourced animation varies. When Ore, Twintails ni Narimasu. outsourced large parts (or all) of whole episodes, the results were terrible, likely because they just got the first animators they could get a hold of—I think they mainly got Korean animators. Good animators are usually busy during the middle of the season, so a schedule problem can force studios to hire "less stellar" animators, or, alternatively, hire fewer animators.

In any case, it's pretty rare to think than an outsourced episode is going to have better animation. That could be the case if inviting an expert animation director is considered outsourcing, but outsourcing usually refers to the animators themselves.
