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.
