Anyway, good episode.

Yeah, while it's a shame that Ayumi and Mio didn't get nearly as much characterization (well, less of shame because they didn't get enough characterization for me to care about them), it's necessary to know that the the show will be quickly developing and dropping girls before you get invested. If we'd started with Kanon, then Shiori would have been a shocking change of pace, because the audience would be used to thinking of Kanon as a main character instead of simply the focus of an arc. Not that Kanon is unimportant, but she's only important for her arc, which is how the story is being told.
