Do you dislike the anime adaptation of KS1 as much as the VN it's based on?

I've only seen it once, and I remember almost nothing about it.

One of the things I didn't like about the TA1 adaptation was that it lost all the nuance of the situation, and made it seem like Oboro was trying to turn Asagi into a slut for no reason other than lol porn. As I recall it, TA1's story is more about Asagi struggling to cope with constant torture and a situation that's spiralling out of control, until she eventually realizes that there is no way out apart from sacrificing something. You don't really get that with the adaptation.

KS1, on the other hand, is such an incredibly bare-bones story that I don't think any of those reservations apply. It's just a series of scenes with the tiniest thread of plot woven between them, and as such, I don't think you could do the story any harm. The one thing I do remember from the anime is the revelation that the heroines don't even remember Bogan, and have no idea who he is, or why he's getting revenge on them. That was a very good detail, which I wished they had put in the game. It emphasizes what a pathetic, insignificant and petty little man he is in that story.
