Many important foreshadowings/ impacts/ plots points/ emotional devices were all cut, along with horrible direction with horrible Sakuga. That's why I'm calling this episode painful.
Horrible sakuga I agree with you, but for the rest I really think that there was no way around cutting some significant aspects for the sake of time. Like I said, there are many hints that show that this was heavily edited from the original version of the episode, and they had to get the main point of the dialogue across for TV.
