Different sakuganon here but yes, Niji-iro Hotaru was very well directed. It's been a while since I watched it but generally the style fits the scenes and the atmosphere and ambiance is very idillic, nostalgic  and transient/dreamy (= mono no aware).  I didn't like Ohira's rotoscoping though. And before someone tells me he didn't embellish a rotoscope with that scene: I'll smack your shit through the internet!~ That shit was rotoscoped. And butt ugly.
