It's why I appreciate shows that put in effort to the visual direction. Yaiba has a lot more than just a little effort though, cause on top of the excellent framing and lighting and use of color it's loaded with sakuga. A more toned down example of good direction from this season would be Shoushimin Series. The novels its adapted from are almost all dialogue so the anime team could've just stuck to incredibly boring flat-angle shot and reverse-shot for most of the show, but they had fun with it instead. Lots of scenes where they actually use the time of day or inside vs outside lighting to good effect.
