I like that every time Chitose does the right thing, like practice the full version of the song and help her newbie peers, she gets praised for it by some idiot, then gets haughty, and gets all bitchy and full of herself.

No wonder Momoka finds her interesting, especially considering, even though she works hard and is wise to the industry, Momoka is really only successful because her parents were.

There's really no "feel good" aspect to this series, the way Shirobako had. Drudgery, two-faced behavior, and mostly just dumb luck.
