The idea sounds solid on paper and writing about it after the fact makes it sound like, the greatest fight ever, but when I saw it, I felt that everything that could go wrong (blurry pictures, poor choreography, shaky camera angles) went wrong. He fact someone thought it was a good idea to film on a snowy mountain doesn’t help that sentiment in my book.
I think complaining the fight wasn't filmed in an aesthetically pleasing manner maybe goes right back to "missing the point" territory, though? If by "shaky camera angles", you mean
literally
shaky, too, I'd also suggest you go watch that scene again, because the camera is solid like a rock outside of a few deliberate moments. The direction is clear and concise, even through the snow, and the choreography
is the best part
. Going from the initial act of Kuuga and Daguva lighting each other on fire, and then rapidly devolving from there to what seems like it'll be a standard toku fight, until it ultimately is reduced to just two guys trading repetitive right hooks until they fall down, all that stuff is the core of what makes the scene accomplish its purpose so well. It's all meaningful. Doing
anything
too fancy would've diminished the point the episode was making. The only real flourish in that whole scene, the only part that does anything to directly tell you how to feel, is the slight slow-motion before Yuusuke throws the final punch, emphasizing his pained expression.
Is a
pretty
fight scene? Definitely not. Is it a
bad
fight scene? Far from it in my book, but it's also admittedly not going to be everyone's cup of tea, and I can't blame you if it didn't gel with you the same way it did for me.
