    Scenes transition was so seamless it felt like the past, the present, and the future were talking to one another. Some concerns are generational.

    Exactly and well said. It was another bit of brilliance from this series.

    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.

    Yeah - that’s an awkward situation, and the more Asa pesters her, the less likely she is to open up. And it’s likely that when she finally does, it’s going to be out of frustration and it’s going to be messy. Though at least that would be something of a smack upside the head to Asa, which might be good for her in the long run.

    On another note, it’s disconcerting how much like her mother Asa sometimes is. I assume she isn’t even aware of it, and would be mortified if she found out (or maybe more accurately, will be mortified when she does find out).

      how much like her mother Asa sometimes is

      I remember Kasamachi pointing out that he said a line that his father once said. I believed Minori also mentioned something along the lines of behaving like her mother.

      It’s all these small little things that make this anime so realistic.

      mortified when she does find out

      I imagine Asa’s enlightenment would be the season finale. Makio’s enlightenment would be the series finale.

        Probably. One way or another, we need to get to that affectionate, bantering tone she had in the opening of the first episode.
