>>51492531Because I avoided any spoilers, I enjoyed it a lot at the plot level, there were several surprises, and the hype was maintained until the end, especially with the false double KO (I expected a frog failure, a lot of spectacularity, but failing anyway)
In animation it was acceptable to mediocre, but the small flashbacks of Cynthia's past are appreciated, giving her character a little development that only existed as a final boss for a long time. Giving a satisfying closure to her teacher-student relationship with Ash.
Seeing it as a whole, it is obvious that the budget is or was destined for other episodes and the person in charge of choreographing the fight was a novice or simply lacked imagination.
8/10 Not worth seeing again, but it works as the end of an era.
