The thing that kept on poking at me this episode was the weird logic being employed by some of the characters.

Okabe is convinced that there's no way that his reading steiner could activate since he didn't make a phone microwave. Even though he himself mentioned that someone else could have made a time machine. Even if he made a time leap machine the next day, wouldn't that trigger it? I'm not saying he would make it, but it's not impossible now is it?

Also, I haven't a clue why Daru would bring up a missing person's registry. Theoretically, we don't even know if Shiina Kagari is a registered citizen of the country. And even if she is "missing" as far as Suzuha is concerned, that doesn't mean the government is going to put her on a list like that.

Besides that, I haven't seen the VN, so I can't judge the execution of the adaptation. I'm getting some good intrigue vibes though. So that's nice. I found the thing about Kagari being the guest at Ruka's place really obvious, even without them giving it away at the end of the episode. So I don't know why they were being coy about it for so long.

Either way, I just can't see how they could mess this up. As far as I understand, we know how this ends, supposedly? It would be really hard for them to completely ruin everything considering the decent start. But like I said, haven't played the VN, so what do I know?
