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
