The first two seasons of this show are not too bad, and I could recommend them, with some great emotion and energy in the first season especially. However, it is horribly paced and lacks a team that understands proper adaptation scripting. The third season is very generic on top of having the most extreme cases of this garbage, and I had to stop watching then because I would just rather read the manga to get a better experience and understanding of the story. It doesn't look too bad, though it progressively looks worse and worse as the series goes on. It also comes off as pretentious with its openers following the excellent one in Season 1, which is a weird thing since the creators must have known how much of the plot they had cut out in order to shove these seasons out quickly. Such a shame, but won't be revisiting for that reason.

(+) Strong first season and solid second season
(+) Likeable characters (at least for the first half of the show)
(=) Some seasons adapt main parts of series, but still cuts out far too much to be remotely understood at times
(=) Weird pacing that feels rushed and lacking in detail, likely due to lazy manga adaptation
(=) Weirdly censored, so some elements of show lack the brutality and shock that the manga contains
(-) Weak third season that kills momentum

Final Verdict: 6.79/10 (Good)
