This episode gets an 8 because of Kuroneko, the 1st half is awesome, in second half they pretty much follows the event in LN with exception that they change the name of the cell-fiction from Mai*Sora [parity for KoiSora, a hugely popular cell-fiction] and it looks they're taking out the entire conflict of volume 3 [and Kuroneko route part 1] and sub-in original stuff via anime.
So it now looks like they'll have 4 episodes [9-12] to cover volume 4 and 5.
