Quanzhi Fashi season 5 picks up at manga chapter 253*. For reference, the manga is currently at chapter 730+ and the light novel is way beyond that. In other words, the anime is incredibly far behind the source material and it would take decades for the show to catch up at this rate. I personally do not see Quanzhi Fashi being renewed for that long.

In my opinion, watching the Quanzhi Fashi anime is like a chore, it is a watered down version of the manga (which itself is a watered down version of the light novel), but at least the manga has very well ... done and colorful illustrations. The animation quality of this season seems okay compared to other seasons, but compared to shows of this time it is slightly worse and makes the show a little less enjoyable.

(No Spoilers) But, I personally did not enjoy this arc as much as some of the last ones, in fact, I completely forgot most of happened in it. So while I will be watching this anime, I will much more enjoy the manga itself, and I recommend any anime watchers to read the manga from chapter 1. It was the first manga I ever read and I was pretty hooked since the chapters go very quickly and the art style is great.

That being said, this is not a review of the manga, this is a review of the anime season 5. And honestly, I could not give this anything higher than a 7 - Good, but for now it is a 6 because this anime is just fine, not good, not bad, but just okay.

*Edit: I haven't read the Light Novel, but apparently the anime picks up at LN chapter 326. For reference, the light novel is currently at 3200+ chapters.

This plot for this anime seems pretty generic, for now it reminds me of the tournament arc in Hunter x Hunter with some aspects of Deadman Wonderland. In this anime, each person is given a unique power and they have to undergo a series of challenges for an unspecified reason. I'm very interested in seeing what the main character can do considering his interesting power, so I will be looking forward to each of the new episodes.

Not sure how many episodes this can be, but from the looks of it, this is the type of show where either a lot will go wrong and ... the plot will have too many holes in it, or the ending will be pretty interesting. Obviously I'm hoping for the latter, but I don't have too high hopes for this show. In any case, I will be watching the full series and for now I have enjoyed it, so I will rate this show as 7 - Good for now.

On a side note, this show seems to not be very popular, maybe due to the two animation studios working on it not being very popular or maybe the manga itself isn't very popular. The art and sound are all done pretty well and I think in terms production quality alone this show is better than I would have thought coming into it.

Season 4 of Quanzhi Fashi follows the story almost exactly to the manga, with slight changes in the detail. While I highly recommended the manga as the artwork is beautiful and has no corners cut, it is slightly harder to recommend the anime solely based on quality, as the animation can be very poor at times. That being said, the animation of season 4 is slightly better than season 1, and on par with the previous seasons, making it decent at best. Additionally, poor translations really ruined some parts for me, however, I will only take off one point on enjoyment because that is not ... the fault of the animation studio. That being said, without the previous knowledge of the story from the manga, I would be very lost at times. Once again, I was never into manga, however this was the one exception, and I highly highly recommend the manga for Quanzhi Fashi, while the anime is slightly worse in my opinion. Therefore, I rate Quanzhi Fashi season 4 as a 7, as it is just good, definitely not great, but if you liked the past 3 seasons, you will like this season.
