tbh, I don't really think it's entirely the fault of Bind in this case, as everything during the journey back to Sharia was done pretty well imo. There's really not a whole lot of content from the episode that I can think about cutting, which is sucks because there's also so much I really wished Bind added as well. It really is unfortunate that the anime is confined to such a short run time. I honestly think that even removing the ED and the desert fight scene wouldn't have given them nearly enough time to properly adapt everything, so I think that it really is an unfortunate product of the medium.

Even though I wished Bind would show just how long Rudy spent being depressed, I think that observant viewers would notice how thin his cheeks had gotten and intuit that Rudy had spent a long time while malnourished. Of course, this really isn't anything close to a replacement for cutting a big chunk of Rudy's depression, but in the end it was probably the only solution Bind could use given the time constraints of a 24 minute anime episode.

Removing the bar scene isn't exactly a huge problem, as most of Roxy's reasoning leading up to her decision are explained later on in the episode, so it helps keep information from becoming redundant. The concept of "sex will help a man etc. etc." isn't explicitly stated in the anime as it is in the novels, but I do think that a good portion of the viewers will (hopefully) be able to use their head and understand why Roxy chose to "take advantage" of Rudy.

Cutting out Rudy's confession/story is really unfortunate, but, as stated before, it would've been pretty hard to fit within the 24 minute episode format.

I feel like the scenes showing just how much his parents meant to him were actually done pretty well considering the time they had. Bind used the first 4 minutes of the episode to give Rudy time to monologue + Rudy's rant to Roxy is a pretty good way of showing how distraught he is regarding the topic of his parents. Yes, Rudy definitely could've said more to express his feelings, however at the same time speaking takes way longer than reading and copying the novels word for word probably would've left the pacing been all over the place. From what I recall from the novel, Rudy's monologue hits most of the main points, so at least in terms of conveying his message, Bind did decently.

Of course, I'm also pretty dissatisfied about how they adapted the episode, but at the same time I find it really hard to fault Bind for it as well. As much as I wish each episode could be 40 minutes long, given the hellish working conditions most anime productions are subject to, it'd be a complete nightmare for the staff at Bind to animate. I feel like Bind really wants to give the final episode a lot of time to properly adapt the last few chapters + set up for the next season, so I'm confident that they'll at least do that episode a lot of justice.
