One of the best seasons, if not the best, thanks to the dramatic ending. Some scenes are skipped and toned down compared to the source, but it is still a great story, even if we get family friendly blue blood monsters and minimal fun time between Rudeus and his girls. This gives a lot of reasons to read the LN, which have more freedom of expression. You can read it before or after watching the anime. I picked up LN after the first season and started with the first volume. It is as exciting to read this masterpiece as it is to see it adapted. Thegrowth of MC, and some of his companions, is one of the best things portrayed here. Animation and everything else is not far behind and done on a good level.
