Episode 10 shows that Asakusa tends to struggle with this in-universe when at her most motivated, coming up with a bevy of different, scarcely-connected ideas for setting details within the span of a day without stopping to focus on their actual current project.

Attention Deficit Creator Disorder: In-Universe example.

Arbitrary Skepticism: Despite her love of speculative fiction, she tends to be very concerned with realism, often to the point of derailing discussions by overthinking the mechanics and ergonomics of things like giant robots and ray guns.

She carries around a plush rabbit as a Security Blanket, a rabbit design is present on her shirt as a child and on a sticker she puts on a drill, and a rabbit can be seen in direct connection to her in the show's opening and ending sequences.

A degree of Author Appeal also seems to factor into it given that the manga's author frequently retweets clips of tanuki on his Twitter account. This motif is likely due to her overall appearance, since in Japan people with round faces and wide eyes are often described as having 'tanuki faces,' and is additionally compounded by Asakusa's wide-brimmed hat and genial smile, also traits common among depictions of tanuki in folklore.

A tanuki appears as one of the animals that distracts Asakusa during pre-production for the Motion Picture Club's first project, Kanamori openly compares her to a tanuki during production for the Robot Club's promotional short (complete with a brief Cutaway Gag of Asakusa with a tanuki-esque domino mask and a magic leaf on her head ◊) and jokingly refers to her as a tanuki after throwing a net over her in Episode 11, one piece of merchandise ◊ for the show is a plushie of Asakusa in a tanuki kigurumi, and tanuki appear in direct connection to her in both the opening and ending sequences for the show.

Doumeki even calls her a Kappa when she startles Doumeki awake.

Her character design is visibly froglike, namely in her small, far-apart eyes, wide mouth, round head, and flat face, and a frog appears in the title card portion of the show's OP.

Animal Motifs: A number of them seem to surround her, namely frogs, tanuki, and rabbits.

Even better, Saito is an idol singer and fashion model!

Adaptational Attractiveness: Asakusa's live action actress lacks practically any trace of the froglike features that she's usually portrayed with.

In Crunchyroll's subtitles for the show, this is localized as the thick drawl commonly associated with the southern United States, a region similarly characterized as crass and unsophisticated.

Accent Slip-Up: She typically speaks standard Japanese, but she can sometimes slip into a Shitamichi dialect when she's particularly worked up, most notably during her rant towards the student council when the Motion Picture Club is trying to get approved as a club (during that rant, she uses the Shitamichi phrases 'teyandee' and 'beraboome' quite a bit).She serves as director for the club's projects. Having first discovered her love of anime as a little kid, Asakusa dreams of making an anime based on her school, creating the Motion Picture Club with her friends Kanamori and Mizusaki to do so.

Portrayed by: Asuka SaitōAn aspiring artist and wannabe animator, being especially interested in setting and background design.
