Like Nighty said, the anime is simultaneously trying to execute "show, don't tell" while at the same time trying to adapt what can be adapted and cut out what can be cut.
...it doesn't seem to be perfect.
On the other hand this isn't a perfect world, and while it doesn't have the same tearjerker feel that novel RNR had, I think this was still a good episode, and the best effort from the studio.
Hearstrings tugged, even if I didn't cry. Then again, after one's gone through an emotional roller coaster IRL and been repeatedly exposed to Chihaya's song, the tear ducts are pretty much dried up.
