Spoiler for episode 7:
Yeah, it felt way too rushed for it to really be comparable to Amagami for me.
Only the parts with Sanehara and showing her past made it more enjoyable to watch as we actually get to know her better and why she is the way she is. We never really got such a thing with Haruka, though. She just came off as the "perfect (childhood friend) girl" who just happened to like the main lead since they were kids.
The bits with Kazuya acting weird made it feel more awkward than funny compared to Junichi acting a similar way with Sae in Amagami. At least Sae didn't mind how Junichi was acting and accepted his help as an "instructor" from the beginning whereas Sanehara definitely appeared annoyed the first few times, so it felt a lot more forceful on Kazuya's part, with (probably due to the rush) Sanehara's sudden 180 with the cat bit seeming random and out of nowhere given her earlier, colder receptions.
I still would've much preferred a much more paced and developed arc, as with all the girls. Sadly, obviously, we're not getting them.
It doesn't feel like an omnibus format given there's no sense of a "reset" to the beginning, but it also doesn't feel like Yosuga no Sora's branching either as there's no sense of this taking place somewhere before Haruka's branch, and we don't even get any interacting scenes with the other main girls at all, like they were all just pushed aside because the company thought we'd never be able to tell that Sanehara was the focus this time.
