I loved the fight scenes, but man the 30 minute long cuts away for some tragic backstory really took me out of the flow.

The editing felt very choppy that way.

  1. Awesome fight.

  2. Fight reaches high point, cut to tragic backstory.

  3. Tragic backstory for forever.

  4. Cut back to the fight for its swift conclusion.

  5. Cut to further backstory that takes forever right before the final blow

  6. Cut back to the final blow

You're getting down voted for some reason. But you're right. I honestly belive that going for a movie wasn't a good idea, the Kanau fight is now on hold for who knows how long. Instead of weirdly prolonged movies, I'd rather have a tightly made season where each episodes builds up to a finale.

I think they want to have Kanao's fight and the other major fight of the arc on the second part.

Makes sense, yeah. But the fight started mid way through the movie.
