It was just really bad.

My issue with the whole Virgo thing is more in principle, in that about five separate plot threads which had never even been hinted as related up until the reveal, were all answered with a single twist. It showed just how much had been planned (nothing) and they really were just making up shit as they went, hoping to create the broadest strokes they physically could.

I'm not sure how much of that is true.
The M-Bus/Dark Nebula thing had to be planned with anticipation, Meteor's interactions with Virgo and the fact that they both used Rod-Type weapons also served as foreshadowing. Kinda... maybe I'm overthinking things.

Also so far I don't feel that the second half is awful, it defintely lost some charm around 32-40 but it has been trying to pick up the pace. Leaving all the horoscopes for the last few episodes however was kinda stupid.

And yeah, I can understand the issues with Virgo. It really would have been a much better twist if they hinted at or led up to it at all.

While that was a major cop-out i don't think Yuuki as Gemini would have been any better.
