Pros
Pro Amazing
Pro Best battle shounen ever
The character development, storytelling, worldbuilding are top notch. The arc variability is commendable, all of them being great.
Pro Spectacular character building
The characters grow stronger but also the relationships are developed throughout the show
Pro No filler
Despite its length, this adaptation of the manga follows the story fairly closely, and doesn't spend much time trying to stretch things out.
Pro Character development
Pro Slow burn, great arcs
A story that grows into a simultaneously introspective and inspirational master piece. Every thing about the story and characters starts simple and clear, over the 24 episodes without you even realizing it your mind will be blown at what will come next and you will feel more invested in the characters than you thought possible.
Pro Short and sweet
This show gets to the point without feeling rushed. You won't find characters spending three episodes charging an attack for three episodes, unlike other more drawn out shows.
Pro Not adapted from manga
Unlike most popular anime, this one is an original work, meaning it can avoid certain practices common with adaptations, such as filler and deviations from the expected plot.
Cons
Con Same story as its predecessor anime
Con It ended
While this may seem an odd con, and the show has a fairly satisfying conclusion, the fact is that despite ongoing manga releases, this adaptation has ended without any apparent interest in a nearby continuation.
