Anon at >>45560080 here, now that the stream has ended. Was a good watch and set things up nicely for a sequel with a number of loose plot threads left to tie up.

1) Hinaga Urara as Kou no Hana/Yamaguchi Chihiro impressed me the most. I suppose it was in part because the trailer and earlier promos gave the sense that the Flowers were some kind of elite or powerful unit with Kou no Hana's portrait art making her look smug and composed, so seeing them actually being quite the opposite was a surprise. Other than her, the other Flowers didn't even have lines, although the end bits suggest that might change if they appear in a sequel.
2) On the topic of the Flowers, Tachibana Rii (Otsu no Hana) was the MC for the after-talk. She was evidently nervous and got (jokingly) called out for it, but that nervousness may go away in the upcoming talk sessions. Compared to Endou Mitsuki (Kosaka-sensei) who was MC for the majority of previous talk events, she had less polish and audacity, maybe due to the nerves plus her lack of close familiarity with the other cast members (she was less formal only with Haruka Risa, who she knew from Lily Project).
3) Mike made me crack up during the after-talk when she was like "everyone took this so seriously...Hitotsuyanagitai's after-talks were just us fooling around...I will take this experience back with me"
4) Image related: I can't believe this series has finally surpassed casting a Kamen Rider (Tsukui Minami) by making their own Kamen Rider (somebody in a suit to portray the Juggernaut) and I hope the actor/actress will be revealed or credited at the end of the show's run.
