Spoiler for Comparison to the manga:

I wouldn't even necessarily say that the pacing is all that rushed. I've always felt that this earlier portion of the goddesses arc went by rather quickly for a manga. It doesn't blow through like a freight train but it certainly isn't a glacier. The pace was a little fast, but it felt fine to me.

Actually, I was a bit surprised. I knew they would push through a lot of content in the second episode because they would be able to with ease due to the nature of these chapters, but they got a lot further than I expected. My assumption right now is that they are taking these chapters that were already a bit faster in pace and pushing them out as fast as they can so that they can use that time on the more vital segments. Even though they pushed through a lot of material, the interactions with the targets were completely fine.

I'm sad that Haqua got the short end of the stick here though. It's pretty clear that they're trying to focus on the goddesses, and so they left all of Haqua's internal monologues out to dry. She has a lot of things to say about Keima here. Oh well...

Still, I'm pleased with the adaptation. I think they're doing the best they feel they can and it's certainly working.
