Exactly.
An anime adaption of a novel original will never have the time to go into enough detail to properly explain complicated stuff. Rewrite has tons of complicated stuff that will be hard to understand if you don’t have the necessary info. And those are the things that make Rewrite so great.

Now the question is, will they rush Asahi Haruka in a single episode or give it 2. Judging by the title I’d guess the former unfortunately.

My guess is that they will somehow combine the (Common Route) reconciling between Chihaya and Lucia segment and the Asahi Haruka segment of the visual novel to pull off a narrative that is quite different from the VN’s.
That, I think, could be the best approach to this episode, basing on the preview. But it could be anything, so let’s see. :))
These “routes” you speak of are mostly pre-common routes, with endings that try to resolve the episode as quickly as possible.
And Baba has said it before. The new route is to make people understand the message that Rewrite is trying to convey, because apparently, most Japanese fans didn’t understand it in the original. So they didn’t want to leave anime-only’s in the dark too.
It’s also smart to do a new route. You can give emphasis on characters from Terra (since the mains from Terra have very little screen time at the moment), Kagari, teasing Moon, and make the story fit anime format without worrying about including all of the other heroine routes in it.

I’m a bit iffy about this series… I’m not feeling the female characters. They feel too archetypal, and I’m having a hard time connecting with them. I’m also finding it hard to get a read on Kotarou’s character. For me as a reader, I don’t understand why he’s so interested or nice to the girl he befriends. And does he have to be such a pervert? It makes it hard to accept him as a romantic lead. The humor just feels awkward, and isn’t as well-executed as, say, Clannad. (The leading the half-asleep Kotori by a coin and the scene Kotarou starts with the delinquent and Lucia in the cafeteria scene are two examples that fell really flat for me).
On the plus side, the plot arc seems really interesting, and I’m looking forward to seeing how it ultimately comes to a front.I feel like Maeda’s skill with this sort of thing is sorely missed here…
I guess Kotarou’s temperament isn’t made clear enough in the anime. Or at least not yet. I hope they do soon. (hinting to VN) The anime have already dropped some hints on why Kotarou acts like that, but the anime hasn’t made a clear connection between these yet. :))
uhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh (or am I getting your thoughts wrong)
I think you are, Dango is saying that because Meada didn’t work on Rewrite the anime might lack Meada’s skill at pulling everything together.

Tensho tweeted about going over stuff for the first BD. Someone who cares can check what they fixed. Pretty sure they changed Kotarou’s lips i the third picture.
I only have seen 1/3 pictures, but this looks pretty nice. The lips though Lel.
I thought the old lips were funnier

There’s a new PV. Mostly just recap of the past few episodes but has “End of the World” in it https://twitter.com/pKjd/status/764824574051491842
I feel like an idiot for watching that without having seen episode 7 yet 
Ah well at least it’s not that bad of a spoiler
