I am watching season 5 currently and am only on episode 2, but I can say with full honesty that the animation has improved since last season. The production team got lots of hate from watchers because of the lazy animation style, but it has vastly improved since then. I love this show as it was one of my 1st anime’s. It can be a bit difficult to keep up with, as there are many plot lines and people, but overall I’d say it’s a good anime especially for beginners. I have now watched MANY anime’s and so I can see the plot line flaws and character flaws, but it’s okay because of the place it hood in my heart! Watch this show!! It’s good and as long as you don’t expect the moon and the stars, it will be enjoyable.
