Scenes transition was so seamless it felt like the past, the present, and the future were talking to one another. Some concerns are generational.
Is this the first popular band club in anime, with an actual competition among its many members? You better write those lyrics, Asa.
It's annoying how often Asa bothers Emiri with the boyfriend talk. I guess the only way for her to stop is for Emiri to open up to Asa, but she doesn't seem to be ready yet.
Asa looked so smug when she gave Makio her first lyrics. She clearly expected praise, but was taught the feeling of embarrassment instead. It's not cringe, Makio-chan, it's you who cringes.
At first I thought that the production is finally starting to show sings that the anime has to squish a little bit too much source material into one season, but after finishing the episode I think these rapid transitions worked really well in the context of what is happening in Asa's mind and how she feels like everyone around her is moving on and having something special about them when at the same time she doesn't know what to do with her life. Whether the director has a problem with time constraints or not, it was a really clever measure that fits the narrative well, so hats off to them.
Given how it came together at the end, I think it was very much on purpose.
