We're in the final stretch now, and the anime has diverged significantly from the manga's storyline because they need to provide closure, which necessitates moving things forward and changing a few elements. Hinoto's transformation into an antagonist and her internal conflict are resolved far too quickly. I was surprised to see Kanoe acting like the villain she always appeared to be; in the manga, she had different intentions. The conversation between Aoki and Kusanagi also feels a bit less... CLAMP-esque. There are confrontations that didn't happen and betrayals that involved other characters. If I had to say something about this episode that isn't directly related to the source material, it's that too much happens in too little time, and the attention to detail from the earlier episodes is gone.
