I was surprised that the Mikuni/Kimi fight didn't conclude within the first 5 minutes of the show. The later 15 minutes could have been spent just briefly showing off protagonists picking oranges happily. As for answering to what happened to Kimi/jen/Mikuni/Takedasaki, you'd probably need another episode for this.

The anime actually did give answers, it's just the answers were vague and they were largely unsatisfying. At the end we see Gawd of the FD (who eerily resembles Sennoza with tentacle tattoos) explain to Kimimaro that the whole purpose of the FD was for people to have conflict and that this would inevitably lead to a better future for humanity.

Agreed that this was a hard sell to the execs, one must wonder what the hell happened in those conference rooms.
