^You're right, that IS an important point.

I didn't really think this episode was this badly directed, but if people are having a very hard time putting the pieces together ... on some level I think it might just be the format. When you're watching the anime, you're having lots of information thrown at you, and that coupled with tiny details being left out maybe makes it harder to process. Whereas in the VN, you're actively reading it, you can go backwards to a certain number of pages and review what you've read, you can decide how much you want to read at once -- either marathoning the whole thing so that it's once complete experience and you don't forget stuff from earlier in the arc, or in more manageable bits. You get a lot of those choices taken away from you when you are watching an anime, by virtue of the medium.
