Initial start scene:
1) The background street sign half blocked by the pole looks too long. Unless that's a convenience store. Nitpicky I know.
2) Mika looks really happy
3) The writer's POV breaking the 4th wall bleeds into the writing a bit which I liked.
4) Interesting to see not everyone was happy with the center selection this time around. Sasami looks jealous. o.O
5) Lol why is pafupafu (sp?) = heat pat? Point me to where this came from Mags with your anime memes. I genuinely haven't seen this before.

Surprise scene:
Typo Julie says: "Oy what are you doing?! You know I'm the only (missing "one") allowed to be Tsundere here!"
Aki's line: tot.al.ly. spelling is odd. If you are trying to emphasize could use caps instead of lowercase and periods with no spaces which is very odd to read.
Aki's line: It's going to be a gothy loli service hour...." a) elsewhere it was referred to as gothic, inconsistent, b) the second part of this line is saying 'come on' but the image of aki doesn't imply that via body language. The next few lines has Aki with her hands on her waist mouth open that would fit this line better.

Center speech
For some reason this reminded me of the VA for SWBF2 saying she's a fan/geek and being active on reddit and the community at large. Pretty good way she handled things.

Maray is alive xD. Is this why she hates you/you get a game over if you fail to find someone in academy?
_____
Room scene:
"As long as I have my figurines I will be fine" wouldn't the figurines be damaged by the mess? xD Lots of cameos here. +1 on the pizza.

Sato talk:
(side digression)
I disagree with lots of what he says on a 'what do people like'. He might be true about where the money is though. Crunchyroll after all doesn't pay much money to the content producers, but I know friends who like Sweetness and Lightning for the family scenes who would not consider buying the VN/BDs (I thought the anime was great). I think the casuals aren't aware of how little money the shows themselves make.
Such productions described by Sato actually make fans angry having listened to rants by another friend about horrible anime adaptations of VN. There's enough low quality things each season of anime as it is that it's all kind of interchangeable and wouldn't promote the stars or material well imho. The few anime I and others in my cohort (with jobs which allow us to afford stuff) watch are the ones that stand out among every 2-3 seasons, not the low budget things Sato talks about. Course over in the west is very different than the JP market. I don't own any BDs myself, mostly buy VNs to support the anime I like. Well, that and Patreon.

Lot's of harsh truth in the script which is nice....I hope the Starnova production committee isn't like this
_____Sword image scene: the text talks about a mask but there isn't one in the image...... >.> Also I mentioned this on Patreon but the angle of Mika's body with regards to her legs really appears unrealistic in this scene. If you shift the left leg a little to the left then and angle the right one more down it will be better. Assuming it was done via layers in photoshop this shouldn't require significant resources to change since the clothing layer (skirt) would hide any jagged cuts you make to the body

So the way things unraveled with the show reminds me of the way Mass Effect: Andromeda unraveled. The devs got a bunch of hate, but ultimately an article about development hell was released explaining why things were bad. It mostly boiled down to short timelines. I know from work myself that short timelines are disastrous. It's unfortunate the internet blames the workers for a terrible job when it's really higher up decisions/insufficient funding for projects in the first place. :X

The 1st animated Mika H scene was particularly blurry on my screen compared to previous scenes in other routes, although the background was fine. I mentioned before my laptop has no graphics card which probably doesn't make things better. Not sure if anyone else has any opinion on it. Feel like the static images are better. I think it's the hair movement which makes the blurry feel, maybe something off with how the integrated card renders it.

I'm pretty sure you can use the term Wikipedia without copyright problems, it's copyleft isn't it? Idk. That being said maybe there's an idoldb or something you can parody here.

On the stalker scene: I think this could apply to gamers in general, we're entitled folks. xD

Credits? So soon? What? Oh, it's Kamijo.

The post credits part reads kind of like everything that's being done to fund Sunrider, like kickstarters, merchandise, etc....I hope there will be another sunrider.
I'm not yet backing kickstarter though since I don't have space in my tiny room I rent for more physical things. Already at 25 tier on patreon though

The order of events in the post credits could be made better. The initial feeling I had was 'this route is too short/skipped too much compared to other routes'. But then you do go over many topics. It might be better to just delve to the topics directly instead of having the cloud scene which implied to me 'this is over'. Also it is mentioned Mika is doing live acting now and am not an idol. But then we have the graduation scene after. Shouldn't the graduation scene come first? I understand there's so many routes left to make before the game is slated to be released which is why these routes may be shorter (most VNs I know of do so). Something to consider post-launch would maybe be DLCs for extra scenes. For financial reasons maybe see if X number of them would be presold to patreons or something to ensure you guys aren't losing money.
