To be fair, she probably also just made the biggest problem they're likely to face for a little bit by selling footage of her best friend falling to her possible death.

It's okay, they just need to sue the school for a bazillion yen for poor safety standards, and they'll have all the money they need.

Hey, she got 30K already.

The exact amount Asakusa estimated for the repairs they'd want!

Truly, her death was not in vain.

Asakusa is stupid when she gets excited about things.

When she can keep her cool, less so.

Unfortunately, anime is one of the things that gets her most excited.

Even keeping her cool seems less so as she was warned by Kanamori, said she would not mention anime and two sentences in mentioned anime.

One thing I appreciate about this show is how it seems to really be emphasizing the tangible "costs of doing business", something that tends to get glossed over a lot in these types of shows. Kanamori being Kanamori is part of it but even in a wider more general sense there's a lot of discussion among the group to the effect of "how do we pay for any of this?", along with stuff like Mizusaki's sideways comment about how much animators are actually paid for the work they do (in their case: $0 :v:)

I hope one of the imagination/rough animation sequences ends up cutting to the POV of a teacher watching the girls running around making sound effects, holding up concept art etc.

I didn't even notice it until this episode, and I thought it was a hosed up mouth of some kind for a split second because the laces looked like jagged teeth or something out of the periphery of my vision. It's a really cool backpack though.

The fact that Kanamori didn't suggest that or immediately use the video of Midori falling to pump the school for funding makes me think she's not as savvy as she thinks she is. Which, I don't know if that's a deliberate choice to make her kind of an idiot too, despite her financial sense, or just the show not wanting to do that and so making her kind of silly for not even considering those options.

They got it cheap when everything went digital and/or it's the reason other school buildings are falling apart because they're still paying for it.

I don't think we're meant to take her as an idiot for not resorting to blackmail and reselling gifts, judging from the scenes with her at the administrative office.

Pumping the school for funding is risky when there were no serious injuries and the video would show it was at least partially Midori being... herself. If she threatened them and couldn't secure things, she'd make a lot of enemies to no benefit. As for the couches, they got stabbed with a fork in the same conversation, and couches aren't very liquid anyway. Most people who'd pay better than regular couch prices would just buy new ones. Both could come up later, but I can think of reasons to not immediately go for them.

Also, it's really nice furniture and presumably comfy and why would they want to give them up (especially since they're probably not gonna fare too well in the storm in that shack)

It's also worth noting that the thing going over it resembles the typical track crossing walkway you'll see at most smaller train stations in Japan. So just like every other location in the show it's very odd.

It took me a second to even realize it was a screencap from the second episode, and not a reaction image of some kind because Midori's family aren't notable characters and she looks so different there.

I do love how the rest of her family have pretty simple expressions of shock with normal eyes, while Midori looks goofy and weird as gently caress. Everything about her is just a little out of place. Her eyes are different sizes with dots for pupils, her mouth has a rougher shape, her hair is bedraggled and has odd looking angles framing her face etc. Even the fact she's presumably just out of the shower makes her look a bit off from the rest of the family, because she's wet and wearing a towel casually round her neck rather than dressed properly.
