I feel bad for saying this but...after watching the E7 Ao finale, it feels like the itano circus is the fast food of anime fighting cuts. It's immediately gratifying yeah, but...it doesn't really make the fights anymore interesting and intense. Like I watched them, thought it was cool but I didn't really linger on them. Too many mecha anime use the circus as a crutch in place of actual fight choreography/composition. It feels overused and I'm rarely impressed by circus cuts these days.
