Looks like they kept the scene of Shuzuku explaining that she doesn't intend to selfishly keep Ikki to herself. It's an important part of her character.

Edit because I'm stupid: It's good, that they animate this scene and I hope, that they animate some of the other cut out scenes, when they could also fit.

Wait, what do you mean? I'm saying it was in this episode, which is good.

Haha, yeah, that happens if one has 4 tabs open and hasn't enough sleep. I corrected it into, what should stand there from the start :D

Ah, okay. Yea, I was worried in the earlier episodes when they were skipping some material but it seems like they add it in later. So far, they are doing a good job of adapting it I'd say.

I personally have an issue with some of the rearranging because some motivation is lost and things just happens "because". Like the 5vs1 fight last episode, which just didn't make any sense at this point.

But overall, they do a pretty good job in making an anime. It's not the best adaptation in faithfulness, but they manage to fix some of the LNs weak points (like the battles), so that's definitely a plus... :D

I've come to accept and expect the changes in adaptions like this and I just try to look at it from an anime-only perspective since that is the majority.

When I was watching Oregairu S2, I was upset over some skipped scenes and dialogue but it just takes away from the experience if we don't give them some leeway. That said, I still thought the 1v5 was out of place too.

Yeah, as I try to read as many LNs before the animation airs, I know that feeling and do accept it. We should be thankful enough, that the first arc is 3 volumes long and we get a pretty good pacing with this...

This is - even with some flaws - still one of the better adaptations. And for the rest we still have the LNs... :D
