Just like game plot, this feels extremely rushed.

The animation is great, but the pacing was way too fast.

We get the evolutions, the victory against the Rose, the battle and finale all at one episode.

Out of all seasons for anime adaptions of the games, this might be the weakest one yet.

Well, this is Journey after all, so they're not exactly adapting sw sh, you could tell from the first 20-ish episodes, i prefer it this way since it's not like the story of swsh was super cool, better if we revisit all the other regions for more potentials i would rather have Ash and Go face zapdos/mewtwo/etc than a whole adaptation of swsh

I like the series, but as I said before in another post, this doesn't negate the fact that it was rushed.

Although the series isn't focus on Galar as a whole, it had some proper build up.

  • Eternatus appearance during 1st visit
  • Meeting Leon and Rahan.
  • 1st appearance of Sonia

I don't need a whole season on this arc. I just think this series just need a little more build up which they could have easily done.

  • Have the cast visit a mural for a brief moment in one of the episodes
  • Legendary Dogs episode earlier in the series
    • Have the cast asked Galar residents about the dogs leaving to no explanation over time
      • This would also foreshadow Sordward & Shielbert for the future.

Just doing that gives the arc more enough time to properly pace the whole arc like the evolutions and the final battle.

Oh, yeah, having the first episode of the arc independent from the arc itself (though it still probably would've needed a "4th episode" probably would've helped a bit too, good call.
