I guess that Lancer's death would have been more powerful if instead of raging during his demise he just frowned and said "This sucks bro," or that the little boy in episode 2 that was brutally murdered by Caster should have (Rather than scream and wailed) sighed and calmly said "This is rather unpleasant old chap, could you kindly desist?"
Funny you mention that Caster scene, many of Caster's stuff work better when it's left to the imagination. For example the thing that Caster summoned that butchered the kid or what Caster and Ryunosuke did with the kids.

I'm personally fine with the location, however just because it's that same location in the novel doesn't mean it should be adapted that way.
