Quanzhi Fashi V

Mo Fan is presumed dead. Nonetheless, hearing rumors about his whereabouts, Mo Fan's childhood friend Zhang Xiaohou sets out to find him. Upon reuniting, Mo Fan enlists Zhang Xiaohou and Li Man to kill a giant lizard whose soul will help him recover from the side effects of his devil powers.

Human once more, Mo Fan spends time with his stepsister Ye Xinxia in Song City, where he witnesses a giant snake towering over the buildings. When Mo Fan asks his teacher Tang Yue about the snake, she takes him to her island home and shares her history with the beast. Mo Fan agrees to help her protect the snake in exchange for its valuable shed skin.

Meanwhile, the White Eagle demon attacks the Western fortress and a plague spreads from Bai City to Song City. As blame falls on the giant snake, Mo Fan is fully determined to prove its innocence by searching for the true source of the disease as well as an antidote.

Quanzhi fashi, the chinese power fantasy anime I used to like.

However season 5 of this anime had nothing that I liked about the series. No levelling up done by Mo Fan , No more highschool Drama/fights (similar to season 2) , No more underdog feeling. Instead they decided to adapt the most boring 'Bad boy snake dragon Arc' ( I forgot the actual name). The entirety of the plot from the end of episode 3 to 11 was surrounding by this and it was booring. Its kinda like season 2 but on steroids (in a negative way) . Atleast season 2 was essential for the ... progression of the plot but here it meant nothing , NADA! Not even a level up by Mo Fan. First 3 episodes and the last episode were the only ones I really enjoyed. All others were chore to watch through. Mo Fan's arrogance level got bumped up , making me hate him. He never used to pick up fights with anyone for the sake of it but here he's all about showing off. The character development part of this particular anime series were always poor , but in this season there is NONE.

The fact that the studio decided to adapt this arc was purely idiotic. Why adapt a filler arc which consists of 85% of the season which doesnt even progress the overall plot at all. It's not like they ran out of source material or anything, In fact the anime is SOO FAR BEHIND the Light novel that it seemed like a stupid decision to even cover this arc at all.

To anyone who's getting bored by this season, I recommend you to watch first three episodes and skip everything except the last episode.

The OP & ED of this season were not great.

The animation seemed to get better and better by each passing seaaon.

OVERALL - 5/10

With every season I watch this anime get's worse. I don't really know what I'm supposed to be interested in. They have made Mo Fan pretty much superman. There is never any threat to him or the other main characters because you know they will live. The main plot was okay but it could have just been a subplot to another bigger plot. The only character I liked was Hui. Because MoFan is always battling you can't tell how strong he is compared to other students. He seems like one of the stronger ones but then people always are like: oh no this person is ... so strong" and then MoFan is fine/wins.

Season 5 is mildly disappointing, Season 4 was a strong season, season 5 failed to properly follow up on what was set up or properly build on it.

It picks up after the events of Season 4, the first 3 episodes do deal with Mo Fan and the demon element, after this is resolved and these episodes end, we get into the main story of Season 5.
For some reason he is sent to Song City to recover (because apparently he can't just go back home and return to the academy) it is inferred that he was weakened, although he's clearly not, and basically the story needs ... him to be there for the sake of the plot, which involves a mystical snake, has no real baring on anything else, and is basically just side story filler.

The story arc itself is fine, it's a little convoluted, but it is all wrapped up before the end of the season.
The problem is when you get to the last episode, which feels like the start of a new story and feels like the start of where the true story should have been, you can't help but feel that you want more of that, and could have done with less of the snake.
I've not read the story this is based off, but even I can tell that the focus is all wrong, this is a series that has a story that it wants to tell, normally you would focus on the main story, you wouldn't tease your main story and leave it for the next season, because you may not get the next season made.
