To start things off, here's a Summer Wars MAD with Key animator's listed:

Tanaka did actually two solo episodes so far. They are not exactly stellar ones, mostly because of the shows itself, but if you want to see more of his usual style they got all of that, though in small quantities. Anyway, he storyboarded and drew all of the keys for Akane-iro ni Somaru Saka's episode 3 and School Days' episode 6. Both episodes have their fair share of good cuts, particularly Akane-iro, and a strong and effective storyboard. However, I wouldn't watch them completely only for Tanaka's episodes, the payout is simply too small considering the rest of those shows and just making it past the first two episodes is a difficult enough challenge.

And yeah, Ookami 3 did have more key animators aside of him but since he was also the key animation supervisor and storyboarder it does overall have the feel of his work. I was actually under the impression it was a solo episode until I took a look at the credits.

Episode 7 of Tatami was a Mihara Michio episode. Though it certainly did have a different flavour than usual. I expected a crazy and fast episode, especially in a show like Tatami, yet it was almost the complete reversal being more subtle and low key.
