I am only about 25% finished watching but so far it is quite the achievement. I didn’t dislike the original series, it just felt like too much filler and this edit moves at a great pace.
My only “complaint” is the lack of a quick establishing scene with Nori before she finds the stranger. Maybe just her and her friend berry picking for 20 seconds so we know who she is would be good but otherwise I am enjoying it greatly. Very well done.
