It's a curfew sign in the village, in one episode we can see a person playing it on an ancient record player. It even has lyrics.

Spoiler for spoiler, perhaps? maybe we'll get a flashback or something:
No, actually, there's no crying and angst, but oh the emotional damage.
It's actually adorable in the beginning because it's their first time, and they're proceeding okay, but in narration Saki goes "gah, this
hurts, this is so unfair, there's periods and giving birth, why does even this have to hurt?" and "I'm suffering and he's enjoying himself, what a jerk!" And it starts getting better, etc., but in the middle of it she realizes Satoru is thinking of Shun. And that she does, too. And so they end up making love to Shun by proxy of the other, and it's like GAH, PUNCH IN THE GUT.

That makes me sad  |
Then perhaps you should adjust your expectations? Also, you're comparing anime originals to an adaptation of a novel...

Pacing issues? Wow... you do understand why they're out there, what they're doing and what they've discovered, and that this is going to be very important later on... right? (Also that gliding over snow is pretty much the only way they can get around, I mean what do you want them to do, fly?) If you want by-the-numbers anime writing where every episode has to be a story on its own with a hook so people keep watching then this is not the show for you.
And I never understood people complaining about animation - sure, it could be better but as long as it does its job who cares? Sure, in a show that wants to have flashy images and action and whatnot animation is very important, but here? The only episode so far where the animation was distracting was ep 8, other than that I've had no problems. But then, I survived episode 7. of Kemonozume that was most likely animated by one person with a one-day deadline, so I'll survive anything.
