Also, get that girl a smartphone with GPS and a Maps app.
(Granted the original story was written a few years ago, so it's a bit sign of the times.)

Yes, I thought this in particular was well-done and came across quite well... perhaps even better than in the original work just because you can more easily discern the emotions involved in this form. Her mother's reactions also came across well during that segment, going from "here she goes again" to "now she's done it... *facepalm*". I was impressed by how much of the dynamic they were able to convey between mother and daughter in that short scene.
Another scene that I thought was well done (even though it's simple) was the introduction to Miu, looking onto the courtyard. Everyone else is noticing and commenting on Pannya (after the comment that "nothing should surprise us anymore"), but it's clear that Shingo's not looking at the pet. Shingo's trance and subsequent reaction was like "oh yeah, there's a pet there too?" Subtle, but good.
So yeah, cautiously optimistic...
