I'm really enjoying this version of the Mahabharata, although it is a little weird to watch all the episodes at once since each one will recap on the last, most of the time. There is definitely a lot of skipping around though, as compared to Narayan. They get the part where Karna becomes king, stop the episode, and never go back to that scene. They also never discuss the Pandava's attack on Drupad.
There was more focus on Bhima's strength in this version, I think. The focus of one of the episodes is him carrying his family after their escape from the wax mansion and caring for them almost by himself. I kind of wish they had gone into more detail on his battle with Drupaka though. That was a actual pretty hilarious fight.
Drona asked for quite a bit more in this version of the story. Being denied a cow seemed a little ridiculous, but if someone came and asked me for half my kingdom because of a promise I made as a small child, I would probably turn them away too.
It seems like everyone is hating on Karna. From this perspective, I can kind of understand him despising his brothers. His treatment could almost be called cruel between Drona and Draupadi.
There is definitely a lot going on underwater in this version of the story. Those are actually some of my favorite scenes in the drawings. The one below is from when Arjuna meets Ulupi at the bottom of a lake.
