Final Act was a disaster. It couldn't fix how the original anime ended (poor Moryomaru setup, cutting Koga's sword, etc) and then doubled down with more mindless cuts to Kinka/Ginka and glossing over the Meioju. The anime was narrowly focused on going through the motions of adapting chapters without doing anything to establish scenes or characters.

Sunrise was unrelentingly lazy in giving the show the Tales of the Abyss anime treatment. The characters were literally running from town to town as if they needed to keep up with the breakneck pacing of at least a volume per episode. One of the episodes was simply the reuse of an OVA that had been shelved for years.

Yashahime... we don't talk about that.

Pretty much agree with everything. Really wish they hadn't tried to rush it all at break neck speed.

Also, minor thing, but they changed the pronunciation they used for Midoriko between the OG anime and The Final Act. Just...irritates me hugely for some reason.

Why even bother finishing the anime if you are going to do such a horrible job with it?
