This entire season has gone straight into the toilet. literally nothing happens and instead we are inundated with garbage filler. maybe it gets better after 8 whole episodes, which is long enough to almost make 2 movies, but i doubt it. the current arc is so unforgivably terrible that after two whole months only one day has passed. I originally liked this series even if it was campy at times but this is just unforgivable. this arc should have ended after 8 episodes, most arcs end in 4 to 6 but no, it's been 8 and nothing at all of any real consequence has occurred. i am appalled at this stunning lack of direction. this entire season will be a stain on the show forever and i assume many will drop it and never watch it again no matter how good it gets. after this extraordinary disaster i hope someone gets fired and i would not be surprised if the series is completely dropped and no studio will pick it up.
Now, after having finished the season, an entire 21 episodes almost all of which were kids spending 3 days rooting about in the wilderness (but without the fun of Lord of the Flies) the only consequence of the entire show was that some of them ranked up. Oh and I guess one more person found out that Iruma is a human. I mean HONESTLY holy cow entire shows have managed to end in 12 to 16 episodes but we spent 21 doing NOTHING. This is One Piece levels of wasting time.
That's not to say there weren't parts that were enjoyable, it's just that it goes on for so long without anything happening. Add to that plot contrived setbacks and you have a show that spent 18 episodes on two kids trying to bloom a flower. I mean really, that's it.
