I guess they blew it all on animating the fight scenes / maneuver gear scenes because they are really cutting corners whereever possible lol
They've been cutting and pasting scenes the entire time...
Not to worry, the bluray release will fix it all! Just look at the comparisons between the current TV streams and the bluray release.
(Left side is TV, Right sight is BD)
Also the ages of some of the characters confuses me....
