I was thinking that the destruction of Crystal Osaka (January 2013, BTW, and it hasn't been shown "on screen"...but I'd like to write at least part of it, please) kicked off the middle of OGJ, at least for my characters. That's the event that caused Noah to start doubting the wisdom of OGJ, which lead to the schism between him and the SOS-dan in early May 2013. Events described in some e-mail correspondance among a few of the SMOFs' writers will nicely cap the end of the change from beginning to middle. (And we really should post that stuff here, guys... who's best to do so?)
I'm also considering the GGG steplet (mid-to-late May 2013, just after the big schism) to be canonical. At the least, it's going to wreck one drug ring (but some of the zwilnicks won't even notice the Girls), and cause a noticeable change in the command structure on Stellvia...
