The anime totally reeked of rushed job to me when I read the manga
It's really not surprising, when you consider it was a rush and shoehorn job - the main manga plot had barely got started when the anime was made, and they had to invent a quick, wrapped up ending for the story while Nightow's spent nearly another decade working on his!
What I'll never understand is why the anime writers put so many silly filler eps into the first half of the series and then rushed the ending as much as they did. The anime was never going to be perfect, given its constraints, but it could have been considerably better than what we got if they'd planned it out and paced it a little more evenly.
