As I said in the season four review: the series should have ended in season three.
This one, like the last one, is just a bunch of predictable clichés.
There are 40 episodes where you can almost visualize what will happen. None of what was so great in seasons 1-3 was present here.

Art is good. Perhaps the only good point.
The soundtrack almost doesn't exist anymore. One of the good attributes, it was slowly decaying into fourth, and is now a background feature.
The story is also non-existent. It's sad to see what happened to the characters. Nobody managed to be charismatic. Not even the new ones.
The development is ... so confusing, because it's so predictable, with it becoming boring.

This season was a really downfall.

You could predict what was about to happen to the arc from the beggning of the first episode.
The suprise element from the previous seasons wasn't there anymore, and this one became just a bunch of repetive cliches. They could have changed something in the last arc, but decided to stick to the same development from beggning of the season. The last race result was pathetic beyond limit.

For an instance: the "top" points of the season was the romances developments. I laughted and got angry more in those occasions that the races.

I still have to watch the last season, but ... this one was so bad, that I'm really thinking about it. Should have ended last season .....

[SPOLIERS]

If you liked the first two seasons, stay there.

Shana III is a complete mess, from start to finish

- Story 3/10
I really don't like when a game, or anime, starts with a spoiler, the episode with tells how most of the history will develop. Most of the time, the history does not develop to a point where there spoiler plot will blow your mind, and you just leave you with the felling "is that it ?"
This is Shana III, no explanation about anything, a majors of loosen dots through the history, too many elements that does not add anything. A mess. And in the you ... just keep thinking "why not just do X or Y ?".

- Sound and Art 8/10
Nothing to complain, pretty good.

- Characters 3/10
This one I can't even rank it properly. If we just had similar characters from Shana II, that would be understandable, but there was so many people in there, that history development was affected too. And I don't get that because they had two seasons to arrange the plot, even then looked like a completely new anime there. Therefore, the characters could not even be explored properly.

TLDR: A mess. Complety.

An insult to the Bahamut's name.
Major downgrade from S1.

[Light spoilers]


Tl Dr:
- "The wrongs justify the rigths"

This is the anime message, who was visible from the very begging (Ep 7?).
...
Story 3: As said above, the anime plot was visible from the begging. Disappointing.
Art 5: Very bad. Almost all women have the same model with different hair.
Sound 8: Pretty good. Like the animation, the strong point here.
En
Characters 5: Almost none for everyone. When the first plot happened, I felt nothing.
Enjoyment 6: I felt I could've watched a better anime..
Overall 6: If you have nothing to what, maybe you can lose some time here.

If you wanna watch a good slice-of-life, it's a good place to start. Starting really to the bottom.
Show how some choices in life can be dramatic, maybe hard. But gives some good info about how not to do it.

Pros:
- Art
- Music

-Cons
- History

[SPOILERS]


How to be a patetic person. Maybe another good name for it.
This is the summary of this anime. In the end, all they do is hurt those who helped when they need, then come back to those who hurt then first.

Is the summary of the humanity.
For me, was kind revolting seeing how things got developed in the end.
