They started with a slow pacing then they wasted too much screentime with the Sword of Darkness. Now they're cramming up a lot of chapters which is more important in a single episode. They did include the important parts however stuffs like Zach and Brain's backstory aren't included.

Brain's character buildup is certainly weak. I'm really disappointed they didn't even include Shalltear's "pinky" in the dialogue. 5-10 seconds wouldn't hurt.

Zach is like a disposable plot device. There's nothing at all to feel for him. He just look different than your generic grunt. I wouldn't mind if they change him to any grunts you can find everywhere. I'm actually fine with Zach being disregarded but Brain is a different matter.

There's also the censorship on the carriage massacre scene which the Death Knight massacre scene didn't have.

Still, compared to earlier episodes, this episode seems really rushed. One couldn't help but notice it.

Despite what was said above, it still managed to keep the key events in tact.
