There is some time saving potential on the dramatic mode combos. Not all dramatic modes need to be completed to unlock everything. This is what I found out:

Kuga & Nagino - Unlocks CG for Yukari V2 during stage 1-2, and Sayo CG at the start of 3-1, quit in 3-1
Hyuga & Fumiko - Unlocks CG for Hyuga after stage 2-2, Quit in stage 3-1
Fumiko & Reika - Unlocks CG for Reika right at the start of 1-1, quit in 1-1
Reika & Roger - Quit in stage 2-1, unlocks CG for Roger
Batou & Kuga - Quit in stage 5-1, unlocks CG for Batou after the starting cutscene.
Munch & Kim - Unlocks CG for Tsukiyo (last boss) during 5-1, quit in 5-2

All other mentioned stages in the quote you'll have to find out yourself, because I'm certainly not going to play it even more than this, I'm sick of it already ;(

If you want to help other people figuring even more of these out, I'd suggest you complete all stages that I found out and then continue with the remaining ones.

Other hints:

- All Sayo CG unlocks in stages related to Kuga, because she is his special weapon (hold A) and only appears in his cutscenes.
- The combo "Roger & Münchhausen" is quite hilarious, like a fag mode of the game and unlocks tons of CG for both characters and some bosses.
