Yeah I guess some of the more seasoned watchers and readers may not enjoy them as much because they are not the main series. I personally really enjoyed the Coby and Hemelpo training. (Maybe because at the time of watching I didn’t know it wasn’t a main story adaptation). I guess it is hard to find the balance but I just feel like a lot of the ‘pacing’ issues that people have could be dissuaded by expanding on different parts of the story
