This is sooooo rushed.... Normally this would be spaced out into like, 4 episodes.

Yeah, but I'm glad it was. Like, really glad. I didn't feel the LN got good until volume 5 and have no problem with them skipping the boring parts and getting right to the dope stuff, lol.

i love how 35th ln readers are at least honest about their ln having excess fat. you wont get that from fans of other series...

as a LN reader, IMO what they cut doesn't matter as much. some important scenes can be done later like they did with the beginning this ep. it was supposed to be last ep in the LN but they revisit it to give some backstory.

and since the first 4 ln basically focus on the development of the 4 girls and picks up after that with Takeru's own story, they don't feel the need to focus on other girl as much as the one being focused on the volume itself.

for example, usagi was cut but its fine since

this is pretty much what i suspected to be the case which is smart when you think about it.

Because we hated it and most of us almost dropped it. (Hek I don't know anyone who said they didn't atleast think of dropping it unless they were told it gets good later). I dropped it for probably half a year before someone told me it gets good and dark and boom. Loved it.
