The CGI in the show sticks out like a sore thumb. A lot of the corridors and foreground objects (desks and bookshelves in certain scenes) are blatant CGI at sometimes when the anime likes doing swooping shots, the CGI environments cause slowdown. Good CGI would either be masked or actually look good. Either way, good CGI is well-integrated, and this CGI ain't well-integrated at all. It's definitely not easy to construct CGI backgrounds, especially in a 2D show. These often look like they were ripped from an asset store or a PS2 game.
Takemoto seem to show much more heart behind his work and passion while Ishidate who also directed Kyoukai no Kanata seem to have more specific genres he is good at or tries to be too experimental in his work, Violet Evergarden is one of the few light novels I bothered to read and surprised to see how KyoAni adapted it, I never seen original work being botched so badly, what a shame there was much potential in it, Violet Evergarden in my opinion was ruined by the episodic nature of it while the light novel is episodic it is only in the experiences of Violet of her internship in her job, the second book actually becomes linear.
Lets hope the movie is good, it will wrap up the end of it all and adapt the second book.
Also Takemoto directed Haruhi, shame KyoAni never wrapped that entire series up with one last 26 episodic series to finish it all off.
And yeah, I consider Ishidate's direction to be a little too hyperactive, but I also think Violet was an improvement since Kyoukai no Kanata, that is my least favorite KyoAni show.
But in general, I respect a lot of the people working at KyoAni, I think all they have an special touch that is not that common on most of the other anime. I really hope Ishidate to keep growing as a creator, but as an animator he's very talented tho!
And well for me and for a lot of manga readers too, the mind games were the main strenght of the manga.
And with the number of chapters they are adapting in each episode, you don't really get to be attached to the characters (wich is kinda bad for a horror anime), like the first time we really see Ray in action is at the end of episode 2, and well by the end of episode 4 there's already the revelation about him, so far the only reason he was liked by the anime watchers is because it's the same VA as Killua (from what I've seen).
I'll stop here because I'm too lazy to continue, but yeah here's some examples of what I disliked about the show (there's still dumb cliffhangers that can ruin some scenes, like the mole and the fact that Norman is missing a lot of his personnality traits, and so on)
Because it's not just the fact that they are skipping things (which I would've been fine with). They are changing the whole tone of the series and making it fall very flat without including the monologues. The monologues and the mindgames were one of the main strenghts of the manga and played a huge part in making so many people fall in love with the manga and thus making the manga so successful.
But in the anime adaption the characters don't seem intelligent and very generic. Instead they shout out their thoughts loud, making them look extremely uncalculated and unintelligent. I don't know why the staff would do that, because it's very disturbing and makes the writing in the anime look pretty bad compared to the manga. There are many other things I'm not happy about, but that'd make the message too long.
The movies are not available for legal streaming, but you can torrent the 3rd movie here

Anyways, all the Washio Sumi trilogy aired this season as Washio Sumi no Shou, episodes 5 and 6 cover that movie, IIRC Amazon Anime Strike has the rights for legal streaming, so if you can't access that I'm sure that the torrent site I linked also has the episodes.
I hope I was helpful!
