All remaining episodes released at once, eh? I would have expected a rebroadcast, not this. Does that mean it wasn't doing well domestically in Japan?

Yeah it's a weird move. I know broadcast schedules are really tight in Japan and they also announced part 2, which might already be scheduled so this is possibly the best they could get to make sure it airs before part 2.
Overall I'd say this was a pretty good adaptation. I appreciated seeing that A2 extra content get adapted, and some of the changes were interesting, like combining the copied city and alien mothership sections into one. And it was odd that the swapped with of the twins survived the encounter, I wonder if it was done just to justify the change in the final encounter from a large snake thing to this large humanoid thing.
I was saddened to see Pascal's role in the factory cult section get cut, as well as the eating machines get toned down to just a few super units that 2B fought rather than the entire army.
And the final fight in the crater was removed entirely, but I guess they needed the time for 9S's reveal at the bunker, which is more important.
I look forward to what cour 2 has to offer, and any new changes they choose to bring to it.
