Well, for me personally I found the episode to be quite good in my perspective. They changes somethings in the episode and was rather different compared to the original Visual Novel, but it was quite understandable to some extent for me in order to get towards the original route. Spoilers for the Visual Novel.
[spoiler]In the Visual Novel, the entire two sides of the group are not really introduced until the end of the common route, which reveals the characters at least in some sides. To explain what I mean, after the Visual Novel shows Kagari, we go to the other scene where he goes and says āI walk up to my friendsā and then depending on the decision the player chooses, it goes and targets the route it was chosen.
In the anime however, both of the parties are introduced (more Gaia than Guardian since Guardian was already established in the 5th episode) where as the conflicts starts to arise, or at least the main central point of the story[/spoiler]
Of course, we got that across from the episode, as it gives a closure to the common route, leading to the original sixth route, which of course at this point I will say we wonāt really know what weāll get at the moment. One thing that got me a little bit irritated at the very least, and this sounds more of a nitpick, its the fact that the animation wasnāt as great in comparison to the previous episodes where it shows for instance.
Kagari defeat Krivoy Rog and the ribbons looks rather fluid and motional and in some scenes for example Tomokoās scene
Aside from that, also the ending song could have been excluded from the episode since it leaves more of a bitter sweet taste in the mouth. But thatās my personal opinion of course.
By the way, is it me or am I the only one who thought the little snippit scene of Yoshino at the end was pretty nice? It kinda shows a bit of soft side to him for me.
