>I've noticed they go for immense detail in the still shots over actual movements in many of the scenes(looks very nice in HD). Perhaps this is just a feature of Obari's works? I know this was how many anime used to be made in 80s OVAs.


That could be, since Obari started out working on those old AIC OVAs in the 80s. I think he began work on Iczer - 1, if I'm not mistaken. And if so, that would mean he worked with Naoyuki Onda, who is known for his maniacal attention to detail when it comes to drawing mecha.
