Overall, a very good episode. Some things won't come out as well as the VN because of the nature of anime, but for once, it looks like Deen used almost perfect pacing on the whole. The introduction to the meta-world was a little sudden, but it was like that in the VN version too.
At the very least, EP2 is turning out better than EP1, and that can only be a good sign for the rest of the series.
By the way, I think I've spotted the true culprit. Damn Deen for releasing non-VN spoilers!
