I liked season 1 quite a bit. Also, I am totally fine with the new setting. My problem is that the new season bores me. It doesn't grasp my attention. The progressing is very slow and there is too much idle chatter. Overall, it feels like a filler season rather than a proper one.

The art is good, the cinematic/director's choices could be better. Perhaps they should look at Mushoku Tensei, much more captivating.

There is a lots of background added for the other characters, but it perhaps takes away too much focus. Take the green hair guy, we dive into his background and there is ... basically a whole episode on it. Apart from inter-personal dynamics, I wonder if most of it couldn't have simply be addressed as a few lines left and right.

Great series and good story for season 4. Only part I would have liked to see more again is the status update by the godess. We havent seen that at all in a while.
Art is good, CGI has some room for improvement still. Chars are well rounded, no overly annoying characters.
So if you have watched so far, then certainly keep on watching. My favourite season is still season 1 though. Looking forward to a next season. Personal preference is development combined with shorter stories (not being historical flash backs) versus one very long story. Even so, this story was nicely split up in parts. ... Less fond of the last 1-2 eps though.

I generally like this series quite a bit, but the first season was definitely better than the second. Both have a sort of feel good type of vibe. However, the pacing/progress in the second season is really too slow. I personally do like the business component, but it needs more progress/development. Also, Ryoma is slightly too insecure for someone that has insane skills and success. I do hope there will be a season 3, with further exploration of slimes, adventure and business at a higher pace. I dont mind Elia eps as long as it doesnt detract from the pace of the main story.

The series has great potential, but isnt quite living up to it.
They did a great job on making the backstory, but rushed the second half of the story insanely. They should have used twice as many eps to make this part. This would have allowed them to develop the characters a bit more and generally provide a little bit more flesh to the story.
The art is generally good, but the ground in eps 11 for example was weak.
The characters are likelable, but here and there somewhat underdevelopped. As much as a I like this anime, which I very much do, the enjoyment ... gets killed by the pacing and way of 'filming'. E.g. adding a bunch of stills to do a 5min story in 15 seconds.
Furiously hoping we get a better paced and more high quality second season and hopefully a third and fourth thereafter.

I very much liked season 1, rated it 8/10.
However, season two has made a strong move towards drama and there is barely anything happening. Lot's of text lines though, just to create drama. In my opinion the story itself is very thin and the pace really slow.
I have had a very difficult time plowing through the eps and even binge watching half of them barely helped.
So unless you flare for drama I would leave this season be even if you liked the first one.
Nothing else left to say, just very disappointed. Rephrased season 2 is not about Megalo Box but about the sad state of ... being that is Gearless Joe. If you like that sort thing that go for it if you do not just skip this season. There isnt really anything to miss.

The story and the kumo eps are fantastic. It is always a pleasure to watch them. Kumo is a great hyper cheerful character. I know many people dont like CGI, and it might not be picture perfect at times it really isnt that bad and you get used to it. It doesnt diminish the story of the episode.
However, at some point they weave in the Humans and those characters are flat and boring. They also mess-up the timeline and story. Introduction bits for background info was fine at some point, but they should have kept it at that.
Really good anime that could be worth ... 10/10 if it wasnt for all those human eps near the end. If you binge watch it you could consider skipping them.
A season 2 would be very interesting as there is lots of story to develop further.

It's not the most exciting season start, especially with the whole Noir stuff. However, the additional insides that we get into the Nakiri/Soma family are interesting. More importantly though, towards the very end it hits me and again I am struck with appreciation.
Might be best if they call it quits hereafter, but it has been a great series.

It looks great as always, sound is also fine. Character development is good. Overall getting a bit chewed out. So would be good to stop here and have it go out with a bang. Because I certainly feel that is what is/going to be.

Maybe to note, the ... story at the end is a very good one. The initial story not so good. Hence a 9. Although I do feel tempted to give it a 10 just for the last two eps. (12,13)

There seem to be some mixed opinions on this, which I think can easily be explained.

It is not a fast action movie, but a story that revolves around the MC. The character of the MC is very well written and carries the story. So in my opinion, if you can relate to the MC you will like the movie. If you cannot relate or empathize (enough) to the MC, then you will probably find it boring.

Anyway, good story, good character. Typical Ghibily perhaps, although even more than usual focused on the MC character. As mentioned, if you can relate, I would recommend the movie.

It's a ... bit of a short review, but for me it says it all.

I would qualify this show as a sports anime with underlying slide of life/drama tones. If you like either of the two, go for it. Do not be let astray by the summary!

I actually decided not to watch after reading the summary, until I was bored saw the rating and gave it a go. Happy that I did, it is one of my favourite shows this season. For reference, I am watching a record 20 shows atm and this one is in my top 5.

If you like running or want to start running, be inspired, but take it one step at a time :)

Score is ... preliminary. I usually only rate upon completion.

Somehow I give it an 8, but I not sure that it really is. Maybe just a 7.

In my opinion, this is an anime with a huge potential but it is not coming out. The first season got me enthusiastic about the concept, the second season was pretty mediocre and even though this season was better it still wasn't great. Perhaps it is the manga (did not read it)?

If I would have to guess, I would blame the weak story/tension build up. I feel it is stopping every season at the point where you can see (the next peak) but without being on one. ... Moreover, the story feels slow, because they try to be thorough, but by the time I am getting captivated the season is over. I would propose a 52 episode course to get this really off the ground.
