Not bad, but once again the art level has gone down. Most obvious with Kasai and Akasaka's fight scene. The action was alright when Akasaka was fighting the generic Yamainu, but the "small head wide shoulder" is back. Timing is alright, but of course, some famous quotes and scenes were cut.
Spoiler for rant about matsuribayashi-hen game ver.:
First I wasn't too happy when Locomotive Tomitake only got so little screen time...since he is protrayed as a strong instructor from the SDF that also kicked some ass in Minagoroshi/Matsuribayashi-hen.
But of course, the biggest rant is...給料いくらだ being cut. Akasaka showing up and kicking ass is probably one of the highest point of Matsuribayashi-hen. Let's start from the beginning when Akasaka shows up. He says one of his famous line, "I've finally made it...Rika-chan, I've came to save you." I would have perfered if there was a bigger pause between the lines, just like in the game. I guess that line isn't as significant as the game since the anime cut out the last piece of Kakera-musubi, but Akasaka showing up is much more significant then the anime has been showing. Akasaka finally showed up to save Rika, not because she had to wait for so long in Matsuribayashi-hen. It was becuase she has waited for all these worlds, who knows how many years worth, for Akasaka to save her. On a side note, cutting out "I'm Okonogi from Yaminu !!!!!!" during the punch was a shame
2nd rant about the scene is obviously the BGM. Anyone played the original game would perfer that over the anime one.
Finally, Akasaka vs Okonogi is way too short, since they cut out the 給料いくらだ part. Okonogi just ran away after Akasaka punched the van...
After this episode, I am starting to think that Air Throw will be cut out as well...
Edit 2: Further work has been done on this sequence, and added Shion + Irie scene.

Anime sequence + original music + original screen capture
Just having the music makes the scene feel completely different...
