One change that makes the whole thing flow a little better for me:  They have emphasised the trauma to Issei by Raynare better than the LN did. Not to say it wasn't brought up several times, but I never really bought into it as an excuse for Issei not getting closer to the naked girls in his bed. With the presentation in e10 I can better understand Issei's reluctance to move forward.

Doesn't matter: After Issei gets past his fear of rejection/being date murdered, Ishibumi will introduce a new member of ORC whose ancient family magic is cock-blocking. :)
