More like a movie than a TV series

Slow down before watching this, because it doesn't have the fast pace and fast cuts of a lot of TV or web series. It is much more cinematic, with static shots, transitions where characters are going somewhere, and silent pauses. But those all work to set up fast-paced scenes later in the story. We know which stairs go to school and which go to the shrine.

Even the colors are subdued, none of the bright "pop" we are used to. But this and the quiet all work for these two introverted, hesitant girls.

The eight roughly 20 minute episodes provide just enough space for the story. I wouldn't make it longer or shorter.

I wish there were more series like this.

But if anybody could explain why it is titled "Transit Girls", I'd love to know, because that doesn't make any sense to me. I was expecting bus rides or something, I guess.
