I really dislike how they just put scenes of other characters right in the middle or at the very end. I know they want to give hints on who's the murderer, but it has almost the same effect as simply writing "This is the murderer" on the screen.

Wow. First time I've seen this happen on the site.
Kind of a bummer that the critic didn't like it! Personally, I've been enjoying it more and more with each passing week. I feel as if the budget's gotten way better, the pacing more dynamics, the presentation different from "cold rehash of the game"... I really like it now. Definitely not a perfect show, or even a great one, but at this point, I'd definitely say it's "good," at the very least.

I think if you say "ramen" to a Westerner they're most likely to think of instant ramen or dried ramen (if they know what it is at all), neither of which is what is being referred to here.

This would have to be your very first anime if you don't know what ramen is considering how prevalent it is in the medium. But I'm pretty sure they localized everything so it matches the Americanized game. If they just did the names it would still leave a lot of things different like people talking in l33t sp34k and memes that werent present in the original, but people who played the localized games would expect. There's no reason to watch the localized sub track if you don't play the localized games where Mayoi eats burgers instead of ramen. A third sub track with only some localization would be pointless.

Given the source material it's based on can be shaky and contrived at times don't think so.

Digibro? Is that you?
Your Lie in April. Sword Art Online. Saekano. Grimgar of Fantasy and Ash.
The production value in all these shows all range from great to excellent. I don't know what you are talking about.

Does the show being dropped have anything to do with the reviewer in question wanting to drop it (perhaps in favor of reviewing something else)? Or have these reviews just not been pulling good numbers?

Both! Only the latter needs be true for a show to get dropped from reviews, but in this case both were true.

I can see why, the show's just getting more confusing and slapdash in nearly every aspect from the writing to the animation.
For example, in the most recent case (Spoilers, sorry), they said that the character driving in episode 14 died, while her sister was the one with the burnt face. Yet when they play the animation from that episode, you can clearly see that the driver-side door is open (the car was established as LHD), and the person shown outside the car was the one driving.
So either someone on the writing or animation department for either episode screwed up big, or there's more to the case than originally thought, but are doing a poor job at conveying it.

The sister that survived was the one that was driving the car.
She took on the identity of the younger sister in order to fake her death.
