I did not say I only blame Shaft. I said "a big quality loss" went to them being the studio. Shaft did  very obviously  not bother to put much of their budget into KagePro, guessing because they did not have much faith in it booming and therefore were like "We're gonna put more into other animes, just to be sure". They were working on two other series at the same time which had beautiful animations,  actual background motion  and whatever else KagePro was lacking (one being Hanamonogatari - don't get me started, Hanamonogatari had a way greater amount of motion, even basketball game scenes, which all cost a lot of money and time - but I forgot what the other was). The other points were mentioned by Kiwi.

Blaming only Jin, on the other hand (which this was originally about), is like blaming every author who ever wrote the book for a failed movie adaption, think of it this way; The creators of a story barely get any real say in these things. There are various authors who even refuse to work with some studios as they would alter their story too much based on budget and time. That is exactly what happened to KagePro from the looks of it. KagePro is not really a story that fits well into 12 Episodes - if it had been about Jin, I am pretty sure he would have wanted more time to make a better storyboard. We have proof that he can do a wonderful job from the songs, novels and the manga, it's not like he is a bad writer by default; far from that, actually. He did what he could with what was given to him and probably agreed because hey - a studio was gonna turn his story into an anime. Who wouldn't take the chance for a little sacrifice? I am pretty sure Jin's only real fault was agreeing to a rushed story.

So yeah, they definitely had all their hands in the factors that resulted in the failure that it was, but if the studio changes, so will very likely the budget and time and therefore Jin may get to have more freedom with his storyboard. Hope that explained my point more.
