Well, episode 2 had a lot of nice moments in it. In fact, that's probably the way I'd describe it: a string of nice events. It's not so dramatically different from Toei's episode 2, really, but had some nice touches. In terms of execution of the key scenes themselves, I liked it, but it definitely feels (for better or worse) like a visual novel, jumping from one key scene to the next (it didn't help that most of the scenes were short, so there wasn't one all-encompassing story for the episode).
Spoiler:
As I said, though, the scenes in particular were priceless: Nayuki's alarm clock scene, Akiko's "scary jam", Yuiichi's first day at school, meeting up with Ayu again and both the unevaded and evaded tackles, first meeting with Shiori, the "pinky promise" with Ayu to meet again, and the appearance of Makoto. If you played the game or watched the first series, you knew that all these scenes were coming, but I felt they were all executed well. They also offered one very important bit of foreshadowing: the window scene at the very beginning of the episode.
All in all, it continues to be a well-executed but straightforward take on the story. I liked it.
