This series is still very much in the Shaft style.
But compared with Monogatari it's very downplayed. There are less "crazy perspectives", Every background is drawn in detail, there's less awkward screen cutting, less "unique" animation sequence, less usage of contrasting colors and less abstract stuff zooming.
This is why I said SHAFT isn't suitable for Nisekoi. The 1st episode has the strongest Shaft influence, but now they keep on toning it down, with each episode getting more toned down than the previous.
This is like when PA works adapted Uchouten Kazoku, who's character design and visuals is pretty much the same with Zetzubou Sensei. In result, we can't see the usual beauty in which PA works usually make their characters and backgrounds.
IMO, Uchouten Kazoku would be better suited for SHAFT, but they were already busy with Monogatari at that time.
