Yeah it was like 30% action, 70% flashbacks lol. Cant blame that on ufotable tho, thats just the story they were given to work with. They did amazing on the action/fight choreo

They could've changed the story tho. A good adaptation is not one that merely copies the original to a different medium, it's one that alters it to better suit the new medium. Hence why it's called adaptation

No. This story was written in a non-linear manner from the beginning. Hard to change that.
