To be fair, Obari is a known mercenary that is willing to do quality production for cheap. Just have to be drinking buddies with him. Kinda like Trigger and baiting them with westaboo shit. Also it helps that most animators know all of the Obari-isms and every animator worth their salt can convert any drawing into an Obari scene (Like the Big sword Swing, and the Final Gibal Laser Attack Pose has been a staple of animator reportoir) TLDR - Obari is cheap, is fast, and every animator just knows what to do.

With even the man himself appearing too. Mainly because he was task to design the look of both.

I believe in season 1 she gets that as a gift from Pipimi in one of the shorts.

Masami Ōbari, so it's more of a Brave series. His other representative works are Gravion Gundam AGE, the Gundam Build series, and Sakuga in Iron-Blooded Orphens The voice actor is Show Hayami, he is also in Brave Exkaiser and Gravion (He is good friends with Masami Ōbari)

King Recorder is voiced by Hayami Show, who played Popuko in Season 1, episode 12-B. He was also Brave ExKaiser, the first Brave super robot series made as a collab between Sunrise and Takara. Kugimiya Rie and Park Romi both have roles in Gundam 00, though Park also played Loran Cehack in Turn A Gundam. For Part B, Hiyama Nobuyuki (Popuko) was King of Braves, GaoGaiGar, in addition to Shiro Amada of 08th MS Team, AND appeared AS HIMSELF in Pop Team Epic Season 1, Episode 2-A. Morikawa Toshiyuki (Pipimi) was Duke Fire in Brave Police J-Decker, Tekkaman Blade, and Shagia Frost in Gundam X.
