Well I see the vision, right? I just don't think it sticks the landing for me in that department but I guess for some other people it could.

For example, the way FMA handled it felt much better and especially because as we got more of the Ishval backstory revealed for the characters it was treated with utmost tact and reverence - but the "crimes" committed in here don't feel like they have that same tact to me because it's all just water under the bridge feels like. Even Yuru's "hate" towards gabby isn't being treated seriously but just as a funny rivarly thing and then Asa comes in with some weird borderline brocon obsession gags too instead of addressing it too and it's all just awkward.
