Yeah but the difference between the 2 arcs is that I could tell that the anime studio really tried to do their best with kotss arc. I would hardly call the adaptation of that arc horrible. If they didn't try and stretch it so much and gave it more consistent animation it would be near perfect for me.

The ecs arc however, it felt as though the director said 'Hiro did everything for us so it doesn't matter if we half-ass it'. I wish Hiro oversaw the production of this arc like he did with the movie.
