I wish they adapted the original SM with fused Lusamine but tbf they kinda did that already in the tv series. Great animation though and it's awesome to see game events animated. Like the previous episode I do once again feel like they stopped too early. I was waiting to see Ultra Necrozma but then it just ended. I feel like if they made these episodes just 5 minutes longer it would feel more complete.

A great time, but weirdly incomplete. No reason they couldn't have made this 5 minutes longer and given us the resolution we all know comes after this.

This episode made me recover the faith I had lost after episode 1, Leon bullshit.

This one was almost perfect, OG Lusamine with her true evil villain, Lilie in her 2 forms, and an epic battle, the sad is the protagonist getting Mike Wazowski cover treatment again

Haven't played the ultra version but I feel like the original SM story was more interesting and "original" as far as pokemon stories goes as this is almost similar situation of what we seen in the Hoenn saga. Otherwise, this was yet another episode that it was going solid until the silent characters come in and almost kinda ruins the immersion..
Also wonder where was Gladion towards the end?

Everything from Necrozma coming out of the Ultra Wormhole and the fight afterwards was amazing. Gave me chills to watch. I think this one was better than the one with Leon. Looking forward to more as the nostalgia strengthens.

Interesting that they decided to adapt USUM and not the original (I personally prefer the older ones because I think Mother Beast Lusamine is more interesting, but they did excellent with this choice too). I wonder if that will be the case with the older gens and they adapt Platinum, ORAS or Emerald, etc.

That was a pretty sick fight. But Necrozma ultimately overpowers Lunala.

Wait uh so we are gonna keep getting unfinished stories like this? I mean the first episode made sense left like that but this is just a big cliffhanger.

Yeah, this designs are very complicated, thus, becomes very hard to animate. Still the animation quality improved from the previous episode. Generations had a much lesser runtime but still was able to produce more compact stories. I guess it's the fault of the stories selected for this. The episode was completely rushed but if they had slowed down it would have taken like an entire episode to do the story that was covered.

Trying to mess with Legends like Necrozma was a bad idea. Still, the battle between Lunala and Necrozma was dope asf and loved every second of it. I wish Ultra Necrozma was animated as well.

Wish they had included ultra necrozma, felt like the cut right at the good part
