Thoughts after finally seeing it....
-It definately should have been 6 eps: the opening was massively rushed, but once it got going it didn't let up
-The music has gotten supremely better...been awhile since we had an opera covering the final battle of an anime, but I do wish they wouldn't use the same music over and over (the score from the first Shin/Nora fight is tracked in all over)
-Best dogfights, even squeaking out over Plus, mainly cause it was a dual fight
-Editing wasn't the best, half the time when I saw the characters, it felt like scenes was missing showing how they got there
-Shin's plane dropping into the ocean was hilarious....did they mean it to be?
Overall I liked it, but it shoulda been longer
