I like the messages Sakurasou is trying to get through. What I don't like is the fact that we have a genius autistic girl who can't put on her own underwear, misunderstandings that aren't particularly clever, and do I even have to mention Episode 7? Almost none of them enhance the ideas, but rather distract from them.
I didn't dislike the episode because it didn't have enough drama (because I hated the drama in every episode prior to this due to the music and rain overblowing everything). I disliked it because the humor was lousy and felt artificial. Inviting Sorata to a pool party to cheer him up? Great. Jumping into his room and dumping a thousand female swimsuits on him whilst yelling really loudly? Not so great.
Or maybe I'm just harsh on it because Kokoro Connect gave me a very deep scar when it comes to LN adaptations that tackle "real" issues.

Its the drama that is sooo badly played that its lacking in credibility and empathy towards characters like Sorata and her depressive friend isn't helping too, and I'm not gonna keep wacthing the show just for the characters that barely have focuss. So, I'll stop watching it, maybe I'll end it someday.
