Review of Mission: Yozakura Family

It's been so long since I read this part of the manga that I forgot that the first few arcs are truly some of the weakest in the entire series. Honestly this anime, like the manga, cruised at a wobbly 5/10 but then gained momentum after several episodes to become a 7/10, so I rated it 6/10 because while the first part is a bit weird and wonky to get through, it makes up for itself in the later episodes of this season once the story reaches the main antagonist of the season. That said, the reason I marked it recommend rather than mixed feelingsis because I think it's worth the watch even though its start is so weak. The characters grow on you, the action is fun at times, and the story really does come into its own once it solidifies around that main antagonist. Once you get pas the wonkiness, there's a lot of genuine heartfelt moments and some fun action sequences and big ticket moments as well. I really enjoyed revisiting some of the moments even the nicer moments in the start of the story.

If you enjoy Jump titles with eccentric characters and don't mind slogging through some wonkiness, then you'll want to check this out. If you don't have the patience for slogging through, you might want to find something else to watch.
