I'll watch it tonight and let you know if I agree with this statement.
Edit : Okay. I was really please with the opening and closing scenes. New material is always welcome.
Nunna (Fish girl's cybody) gets a proper design. It's gorgeous but doesn't really make sense since her seal is suppose to prevent
anybody to enter 2nd phase.
But hey, I won't complain that much.
Regarding the pace... Well IMO it's too much information to handle.
Watching Takuto blast several Cybodies in a row is helping a bit I guess, instead of cutting the plot every 10 min...
But some fights are missing... Especally the Ayingott part.
I recommand watching the TV format and then the movie for the additionnal content.
Or else you'll miss some interesting scenes.
