Cherrypicking some random drawings for acrylic stands which aren't even shots from the actual show really doesn't prove anything especially when even doing that you can't say anything but to back it up except "bro it's trash trust me". Onimai is pretty technically solid at a level of both direction and animation, and there's a lot of really good staff on it. It's really nothing like ""calarts style"", which is a term nobody on this site even fucking understands. It was coined by John K to refer to a Disney style he viewed as degrading through generations of interbred copying. Specifically he was talking about the style in stuff like The Iron Giant. And then people started using it to mean flat beanmouth shit which still isn't even close to Onimai's drawing style.

Imamura Ryou is the animation director/sakkan for the show, he's one of the guys from Shaft and he's pretty good. I don't think that drawing is his, anyway. I don't see any credits for who drew it so you really can't be sure who this was and it's a little pointless to speculate on a negligible drawing like that one that could be anyone.
