I think this is the best we've got in a while.
I'm glad not to see her brother.
Also, her mom's on the scene, so things will be great. To make a good impression she only has to show off Asuka, but as a former loner I guess anything will make her mom happy and that'll be the reason she overlooks the specifics of the movie. But had they not being told by school staff to think twice about what they were airing, since their parents would likely be there?
Also, in Tomoko's heart she has the lower parts needed for the execution, so it's perfectly straight. Her powers surpass any categorical constrains. No need for clarification of any sorts. What I find surprising though is that she actually got to that and it invigorated her so as to further pursue elsewhere.
