Looks like the dubbing for the drama CD and the first episode
has already started, they've used roughly 9 hours in the studio for this two recordings alone. (Isn't it a bit late than usual, starting at this time?) The official site will update on
June 10 with a lot of new information.

From what I understand, Shinbo's primary job is to "fix" the storyboards and control overall direction of the series. He then leaves detailed direction to the assistant director, including passing his order to other staffs. Most assistant directors (except
MoonPhase's
Suzuki Toshimasa) have commented about this in this month's NewType and they all are saying he's very strict when it comes to visual aspect.
Another confusing title is "Visual Director" (which is
Takeuchi Nobuyuki's exclusive seat) is for designing visual settings for the series, like
MoonPhase's Marumi-dō or
Maria Holic's student dorm. Shinbo said 80% of Shaft's anime settings are his job.
