I've read the manga but it's rather amusing how mountains are being made out of molehills with "XYZ is SUPREMELY important and they LEFT IT OUT".

It's too bad that parts are left out (and many of them rather poignant) but construction-wise, as Reckoner said, it's done well. Frankly, if they had broken it up into two episodes (as would be required to stuff everything in), anime-only viewers would probably think it overly long and approaching narm.
