What's missing is the comedy. The anime is avoiding all facial expressing/emoticon and tried a 'straight up' bishoujo approach. Whilst the manga and LN took different approaches, with the manga using exaggerated facial expressions and LN with more Kodaka monologue/commentary do the same for comedic effect.

Personally liked this episode more than the 2nd one - the MH reference is obvious but there are just way more subtle references in ep 5. I'd have given up the anime overachieving on comedy so it doesn't upset me too much and the Maria/Kobato segment was executed pretty well. Still awaiting the debute of the fly swatter...
