A lot of the fights suffer from horrible pacing issues, which is something I think the anime will end up fixing DPO seem to be very obsessive with their adaptation so I'm not sure if we can just bank on them fixing pacing issues seeing as how they go to great lengths to be as faithful as they can. They changed some story points around in Part 4 to have the story flow better but depsite adapting to Part 3 and enjoying it a lot now, its pace was all over the place at times. It simply did not need to be as long as it was. Animation in general will clean up potentially confusing looking artwork but not all.

​​It's great to see what people like though, I'm not that big a fan of Part 5 anymore because I didn't like the characters and I felt the plot had no focus but I like Part 6 for its slower approach to world building, which is why I think people called Part 1 and 2 slow.
