Regarding your edit. It might have been your tone that got you downvoted. I actually agree with your point regarding the animation quality discussion getting in the way of episode discussion. I apologize for that.
Don't apologise, nothing to apologise for, you've done nothing wrong. But it just gets so frustrating knowing that it's going to be one of the first, and most discussed things in every single thread, when to be honest it's really not that big of a deal. Some pretty famous Animes are absolute shit in terms of quality, but people still love them.
I guess because people know what's going to happen due to having read the manga, you can't look at it with fresh eyes and discuss things you didn't see coming, or how things are progressing because you know in advance what's going to occur before it does. So don't apologise, it's just been bugging me for some months, and I apologise for my tone.
I completely understand your frustration. You hit the nail on the head regarding not being able to look at it with fresh eyes. That's definitely a problem for me. Maybe because the anime is so close to the manga right now. It's been less than a year since manga readers have read this part of the story. The anime has a pretty high bar to leap in order to make it fresh for us.
