I wanted to say that there's a lore dump, but I feel like the characters are pouring info we've already known, especially during the Keikain clan scene. As I said, it is a bit redundant, but I get why the anime did it, because it's for us to see the information had travelled from character to character, even though us the viewer already knows it. But as Shouei said, I'm quite afraid if this is how it goes from the start. And judging by the episode count, I have my doubts about the encounter after this.
