As a non game player, I had mixed feelings. I really liked episode 25 and had heard some hype about the conclusion of Tsumihoroboshi-hen, so I had some high expectations... which I can't say were completely met. Animation could have been better, but as for skipped scenes, the problem is simply the time constraints. Everything else they might have put in would require cutting the time allotted for something else. It certainly doesn't seem like they ever put anything in that would be easy to cut.
Between what the anime shows and what people say, it is getting a bit difficult to keep track of things. This is how things go in the game as I can gather. Can a game player confirm this?
