I found the pacing slightly better than in the last episode... still bad but at least some improvement. But the pacing was the least of my problems with this Celestial Spirit parade/episode. It feels like they were just trying to cram in as many Spirits as they possibly could, but didn't really know what to do with them.

And that adds a few problems by itself. How can Taurus be defeated and then summoned again within ten minutes? Why the hell would Cancer play hairdresser for an enemy in the middle of a fight? Why the stupid dance-routine? Why would Scorpio blast Happy and Carla? Why would Lucy thank him for doing so?

Apart from being a comedy overload in a life or death battle, it all makes no sense. I hope they'll skip over the other Spirits for the time being...

But on the positive side, the animation is improving and at least this time I was laughing at a few of the jokes, unlike in the last episode which I didn't find funny in the least.
