Yeah maybe the reason I felt the pacing is slow is because of the difference in medium more than anything else, since it probably take half of the times for me to read the chapters covered in this ep. The more serious feeling could also be due to that, since the voice-acting + music add more gravitas to the scenes, could also just be that my recent experience of CSM is season 2 of manga which is even more goofy than usual affecting my opinion. Will need to see more episodes to judge but maybe it's just difficult to capture Fujimoto's style into an anime.
