Really good interview with the director, and he explains his reasoning behind how the music is used in Healer GIrl the way it is
“I wanted to find a new way to use music”

[1]. Can you tell us how the project originated?

Yasuhiro Irie: From the start, I wanted to make an anime musical, but at the time, I had no idea about the content of what I wanted to make. When I talked about it with the producer, he told me such kinds of anime musicals don’t exist in Japan. Nonetheless, even if there aren’t musicals turned into anime, there is much anime with idols, music bands, or even anime like Macross [2], where the songs are part of the story. There was something to be made if we were to start by taking the singing aspect and using it within a frame we already have experience with, rather than taking the musical route. When thinking about how we should use the songs, we thought about Macross and Symphogear [3], where the songs are used in the middle of fights. But I was worried the battles and the songs would not blend nicely and end up too similar to those other shows. Another way to use the songs is to center them around an idol group, such as they do in Love Live! or IDOLM@STER, but that was a concept I wanted to stay away from. Love Live! [4] and IDOLM@STER [5] are very popular, but if I were to go that route, it would just be the same thing for fans and me, and Love Live! or IM@S are already much more successful. Hence why I didn’t want to do the same thing. While I was thinking about how to make a musical anime outside of these two tropes, I was thinking about a way young women could use their songs and showcase them without having to fight. It was the option that stood out the most from what had been done before. I noticed that nobody had used the idea of using songs to help people feel better.

I hope the new episode matches the quality of ep 3

It's going to be really hard.

It's really weird to think that the basic premise of a regular anime musical that's not idol or battle-related hasn't been done before.
Nonetheless I'm glad that they finally made one and it seems to become a good one at that.

props to the director for doing something different. Episode 3 is a breath of fresh air in the current market today, just a project having fun with its gimmick

So it doesn't matter to you if an original is shit as long as it's an original? I'm not talking about this show specifically but I've noticed that some originalfags defend originals even if they're shit solely because they were originals.

how exactly did you come to that conclusion based on what I said? Healer Girl's episode 3 is one of the most uniquely creative episodes in an anime in a while, and it does it by leaning into the anime musical gimmick, and it does it well.
It's okay to follow the formula of what works, it's business after all, but some of the best media are passion projects, and the directorial choices around episode 3 definitely shows the care put into it by everyone involved in production
