Which fight do you prefer- Part I or Part II, and why?

Now, keep in mind that a real conclusive opinion can't really be made until Part II is adapted in the anime, as it is highly likely that the battle will be improved/extended in the anime. So I'm mostly referring to the manga when I'm referring to this topic.

As far as I'm concerned, in the manga, I like them both equally. While I do wish Part II was a little longer, I pretty much saw most of what I wanted to see (now it's just up to the anime to extend the battle in order to add more of this content so it doesn't feel as rushed). Also, while Part II did seem a bit rushed and it would have been better to draw it out a bit more, it got straight down to the point by pretty much focusing on the action and there wasn't as much talking as there was in Part I, and when there was talking, it was in isolated sections whereas it occurred throughout the course of the fight in Part I. So when it comes to the manga, I like both equally for different reasons. As for the anime, I obviously can't form an opinion yet. However, due to the fact that the anime will most likely extend it with filler content and animate it with the best quality possible, I will probably end up liking the anime fights on an equal level as well (maybe even liking Part II more than Part I- it all depends on how well it's handled).
