To my sheer luck, this thread just popped up in the General Anime section. I'm always amazed (and to my envy) how people in this forum make it seem so easy to articulate and convey their messages which I seem to struggle with often times. Several posts in that thread identify very easily a lot of the problem that I currently have with the two episodes of this show. You also highlighted and reaffirmed some of those problematic areas. Yeah, I agree subjective taste matters to ones own enjoyment, but at the same time a show will have a better chance at engaging wider range of audience when its execution is above average from all front of what makes an anime. Ef~ a Tale of Memories is such a good example of what an overall animation effort can be like and how the audio and visual aspect of things can affect a story-telling. I don't know if that story would be able to convey as well as it did (and was able to engage its audience as well as it did ) if we lessen the affect of the audio and visual, especially the auditory affect. It was a beautifully choreographed show that incorporated a very simple story masterfully to make the end product so enjoyable. Even for a moment I didn't feel like I was lost in that show as I went from episode to episode. I actually cared for the story told. True Tears would be another such example. In an essence, I can also cite the 2nd season of Clannad (from around episode 10 or 11) as another example of what can happen when an execution is purposeful to bring everything together. Aside for my own complain about how needlessly long that series was, that story blossomed so well when.... Spoiler for Clannad specific. Please use discretion if you intend to watch Clannad:
Clannad was above average from a technical standpoint in its effort at overall animation. And yet, I thought the show missed out on a choesive plot point because of the sheer length. I still thought about the story and how each episode contributed to form the story once I was able to get past the animation effort. My point is that I can't even get past the audio and visual aspect of this show before I can even start wondering and caring about this storytelling. Anyway, enjoyed this conversation a lot.

Definitely an improvement over the first episode. Although I thought the first part of the episode (introduction of Komari) was a bit forced, the rest was more natural. Liked the contrast between the 'world secret' bit and the rest of the episode. Very mysterious, and the deja vu-like part in particular caught my attention. Put that in context with Riki saying he wants these days so go on forever, and I feel that something very Key-like is going on here.
