@kyp275: Leaving the rude tone of some posts aside; the visual changes of the 5th episode are as bad as the character development. Independent of completely skipping the original character development and theme during this first arc (for understandable reasons), the anime does not offer any alternative reasoning for actions.
For example Satoru's sudden leadership, maturity, decisiveness, and most importantly calm and rational thought process are never explained. To a lesser extent the same applies to Saki in various scenes during the episode. Add to these the many logical inconsistencies, like the explosion, the queen, the colonies, the trans-species communication, the time and locations for events, etc.
These of course make sense, given novel knowledge, but the anime never offered its own alternative explanation. It's not a matter of preferring a more loyal adaption, but the inability of the anime to tell its own story coherently... and this is very problematic for the 5th episode, unlike the first four.
