IIRC he's such a yurifag that he even hated Rosemary from the start for some reason...? Even though there was no chance that he'd be a love interest. I think he also hated Henri (can't remember this as clearly), and considering how he hates the Kaito/Kazuma reveal for some reason too, I think he might just be homophobic toward gay guys specifically.

Nah, I'm not surprised, I just think it's funny because I noticed a pattern with the recent female character designers. They love to prioritize the cute boys.

The animation director redraws cuts they select so that they stay consistent and on model. That's what Ueno did (just on his model). The chief animation director is a tier above them, their drawings are going to be more final. In picrel you can see the remnants of Ueno's face shape, but Sugimoto clearly redrew the eyes and possibly more.
