I'm surprised to see so much negativity about the fight scenes, because I thought they were beautifully animated. Sword vs. spear is a goldmine for great choreography, as witness Balsa vs. The Hunters in Seirei no Moribito, which is probably the gold standard for weapons combat in a TV anime. I don't put this on that level, but it was damn good, and accomplished without a huge reliance on CGI. I didn't find the camera tricks obtrusive at all - I thought it was very stylish and reminiscent of classic martial arts live-action movies.
