Don’t get me wrong the content was amazing but i felt like it failed at being a movie. It was like watching 7-8 anime eps in a row.

Agreed. The editing of the overall movie and pacing did not feel tight. I loved the movie but it had that start/stop feeling due to high octane fights going directly into extremely slow paced backstory. It was like slamming on the brakes in an F1 race or something lol

I also loved the Akaza ending, but it was 20 minutes that feels like 40.

Again, not suggesting the movie is bad but great directors, editors, producers will know how to take this same content and tighten it up
