I think it really depends on the production. Sometimes a looser style works to enhance the story/atmosphere/etc and other times it is just distracting.

I think Shin Sekai Yori has good examples of both. There are points where it's clear that they're using an animator's signature style for effect (Yamauchi's beautiful episode 10, for example) and other times when it just reads as sloppy and inconsistent (I can't think of a good specific example off the top of my head, but many of the more mundane episodes have some really odd cuts here and there where things get a bit strange in the animation department for no particular reason).
