In the first three minutes of Yuusha Kei's episode 1 alone, there were six scenes in the first-person perspective. This leads me to believe that the person responsible for the storyboard for Yuusha Kei's episode 1 was the director, since this animation characteristic can be seen in several of his previous animations. Comparing more specifically, the animation of Xylo's jump is very similar to the scene in Mushoku season 1 episode 5 where Ghislaine jumps over the houses, and there's also the scene from the gut killer's perspective in episode 2 of season 1 of Re:zero.
the first person cuts of the first three minutes of ep 1 are:
0:37 - 0:50 from dotta's perspective as flees the toad plague.
1:19 - 1:21 from the perspective of the knight observing the plagues.
1:24 -1:30 from the perspective of the priest seeing the knight, "this may or may not be in first person since the view does not oscillate" but I think it fits because in the following scene it is shown that the priest is looking with a serious and static posture.
1:36 -1:37 from the perspective of the plague of frogs chasing dotta.
2:01 - 2:03 from dotta's vision.
2:26 - 2:28 from xylo's vision.
Another characteristic of this director as an animator is his apparent specialization in animating fights with spears, which perhaps is not used in Yuusha kei since there are spears in the story but most of the time they are used for long-range attacks.
Edit: these are possible names that may appear in Yuusha-kei production due to their involvement with Hiroyuki Takashima or Studio Kai:
Shingo Yamashita; have already worked together.
Okamoto Manabu(director of Mushoku S1) and Akira Amemiya were their mentors.
Edit:2.0
Some of these animators have already worked with the Yuusha kei director, others are affiliated with Studio Kai or both and appear to have a good track record and qualities in the animation field.
