Sadly I cannot see Stars end up epic.
no matter the talent, the animation, the designs and the budget, while the ending is great, the arc as a whole is broken... They won't rewrite much, no matter the format, and it is so messy... It is repetitive, there is no development, characters are introduced and killed off immediately. I hope Naoko actually admit the majority of the arc needs work. Eternal is wonderful, because the Dream Arc is good. Stars is the messiest on every medium so far. Still I want to see the Animamtes, and the ending of the story as they are in the manga. I think it is time for us to start writing potential movie scenarios. Seira Hazuki did a great prediction for Eternal and was spot on with what they did in the end.
