** When Aoi calls Hiraoka out for his poor work ethic, leading to an argument about Aoi's standards, Aoi asks Hiraoka why he bothers working for the anime industry if he does everything halfheartedly. It soon turns out that Hiraoka had become burnt out and cynical as a result of working for several companies that produced poor quality work, with colleagues and freelancers who lacked the formerly idealistic Hiraoka's passion and dedication to quality, and Hiraoka would have quit the industry after the end of ''Third Aerial Girls Squad'' if not for Tarou.

** In episode 22, we see Zuka-chan watching a variety show which featured a popular young seiyuu who is still in high school and has trouble balancing her school life with her work. Zuka-chan is very jealous of her and would be very glad to have her problems. If you watched the 10th episode of ''Manga/SoreGaSeiyuu'', we see how Rin, an even younger seiyuu who attends middle school, struggles to have a normal life, keeps getting job after job and has barely or even no time to enjoy her school life at all, to the point that she is unsure if she can play an ordinary girl who is the same age as her.

** The key visual of the movie shows Musashino Animation's building burned to the ground and destroyed, with Aoi rising above it. Many fans found it a very sad coincidence when Creator/KyotoAnimation's main animation building was similarly destroyed in July 2019.

* TheWoobie: Zuka-chan, who keeps failing auditions, messes up during her voice work and fails to get any job she wants in the voice acting industry. Most of the time, she's working in a bar or gets odd jobs (although she doesn't dislike any of those), while all of her best friends are working on the same project in the second half of the series. But the lowest point of her misery is shown in episode 22, where she's [[DrowningMySorrows drowning her sorrows]] in jealousy of a younger seiyuu who once appeared in the same audition as Zuka-chan did. It also doesn't help that Kyouko Suzuki, who also is a rookie seiyuu like Zuka-chan, managed to get casted as TheProtagonist in the same anime where Zuka-chan failed to get any of the two roles she auditioned for, and we do see Suzuki struggling to play her role properly, but she's given guidance by Sound Director Inanami to pull it off right, earning her sympathy by both, Miyamori and us, the audience. It shows that Zuka-chan would likely have gotten similar support if she didn't lose to Suzuka Ito during the casting. [[spoiler:All of Zuka-chan's suffering serves to set up the finale of the episode 23, where she finally gets to voice a character where her best four friends are working together, realizing their dream in the end. The next episode also shows that she's starting to get more work from there on]].

First, he makes far less screw-ups than he did in the first half, and those he makes in the second half are not as severe previous ones. Second, the inclusions of Chazawa and Hiraoka make Tarou look competent in comparison, which is even acknowledged in-universe.
