This definitely reinforces the good from the first episode. If they take it slow and steady- things work out alright.
I hope they don't smash things together too quickly- which with an estimated 24 episodes scheduled- they very well could.
The early part of the story is very much jam-packed- which set me up to relax and enjoy the rest of the year at a more languid pace.
That was one of the reason this game stuck out to me- since I usually am scrabbling for the next major plot point. Instead- you get a nice steady dosing- which they can dose it out gradually- and build on the existing stories from the game.
Here's a question: Would you want to see fairly in-depth sequences about some of the Social Link characters- or more of a scattering- like in the game?
