| The drop in score compared to other seasons is going to be so funny. I'm thinking it gets a 6.4 average on MAL. |
✧ |
| The BEST arc everyone's waiting for kekekeke. |
 |
| I really need to watch season 4 just to be a part of the season 5 H Y P E and see the Q U A L I T Y manga readers has been saying about the new arc. |
 |
| Well I guess this will complete the adaptation of the manga. Can't wait to see how the score compares to the other seasons xD |
| People on MAL refuse to actually enjoy watching anime. Your taste in anime isn't a personality trait. MAL is literally just anime Twitter as its own website lol. |
| Awesome! I'm not at all caught up, but it's nice to see that it seems to be getting a full adaptation. |
 |
| Awesome. Whatever the quality may be, I'm just glad it's adapting the entire manga. |
| We will get a new #1, minna. I am so excited for this! As a reader, I have to say, the final season will make you see the whole thing in a whole new light. <3 Also, the ending will make you want to visit Japan and meet the author to give him some proper respect. :) |
| Stay Home and Wash Your Hands. Protect Yourself. Protect Your Loved Ones. Protect Your Community and Help Defeat Coronavirus. |
| The final arc was pretty damn bad overall, but lol, people are seriously overhyping it's dreadfulness. |
One Piece episode 914 & 915 & 1027 were a mistake and 957 brought the salvation - FMmatron |
| Hmmm....maybe i should finally start catching up to this one, as i only watched the first two seasons. |

| WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO LETS GO |
  |
| I'm almost done with Season 1, so I'm curious how this series goes off the rails. |
 |
| oh blue arc, definitely the best last arc... yes, THE BEST damn, better they make an original ending instead following manga otherwise the title should change to SHOKUGEKI NO ERINA |
 |
zalapeno said: otherwise the title should change to SHOKUGEKI NO ERINA You mean ECCHI GAKI NO ERINA. On another note, at least remove the f*cking main character tag from Megumi? She is no more important than any other side characters yet gets away with the f*cking main character tag. |
| Stay Home and Wash Your Hands. Protect Yourself. Protect Your Loved Ones. Protect Your Community and Help Defeat Coronavirus. |

 Kickstarter for Rokujouma is fully funded. Good work everyone. Lets wait for the result of our hard work together. |
| Why are characters who don't appear this season on that visual? Seriously I know they are only in the background but still they have no business being there reminding us of their pathetic non-importance. |
| I used to be a watchmaker. |
Who would win? Blue arc vs Game of Thrones Season 8. |
| It doesn't matter if you like LoGH,Monster etc.If you are a jobless or college/school dropout living in your mom basement, you are still an unintelligent loser. Taste in anime does not make you a better person. |
| Oh no. Please no. NO ... NOOOOOOOOOOO- |
 |
| We are indeed in the best timeline for this to being animated. April can't come anytime soon. |
 |
| Manga reader be like, ah shit here we go again. |
| lmao the comments here. I'm dead. Can't wait to finally see what all the fuss is about. |
 Life is a despicable endurance race |
| idk how to feel now. I'm pretty much going in with reverse expectations, expecting this to be the biggest garbage |
 'On-Hold' is another way for a completionist to say 'Dropped' |
| So the final,and the worst arc is also going to be animated,great Now,let's see how the anime only watchers react to all the bullshitry and character assassinations of this arc |
| I would not be upset if they decide to take some liberties with the final arc haha. |
  Although we part as I leave for Inaba, —Hyakunin Isshu (小倉百人一首): where pines grow on the moutain peaks If I am to hear that you pine for me I shall come back to you again Poem #16 "Tachiwakare"© |
| All I can say.. Not bother with this season. Since Season 3 it has gotten worse and season 4 it's just boooring. |
| Oh nice a new season. I don't read the manga but I really enjoyed the anime. The comments are very "well" xD |
| Have not read the manga but will still watch to see what it will be about |
 Yahallo! Yatta! Baka! <!  "Humans, your existence was a mistake. Conflicts, lies, jealously, greed. You once caused me to lose everything and today I will devour everything... Because I am the Valkyrie Goddess"> |
