This is the first introduction of the "big bad" of the series, the <genius>There was a TON of infodump that they just skimmed through untouched.
Not to mention, all of the build up Leo had through the adventure was just zipped past, or how summoners work, why KR does what he does, what the <genius>did with the Ancients, etc etc.
I can explain the gist of the movie Terminator in less than five minutes, but that's nothing like watching the movie.
You seriously can't sit here and tell me them SUDDENLY going five-times the speed on pacing is perfectly fine.
This was like doing the first episode, the PK encounter, and all of Susukino story in one episode.
Imagine how lackluster introduction of Serara, Nyanta, and the impact PK has on the society would be in a digest format.</genius></genius>
