I wrote of season two:

This show is still not in my top tier of anime — I think it's going to be hard for a seinen to ever really hit that — but it's still a very fun time, and offers a good blend of pathos and entertainment.

I think all of that remains true for season three, but more so. It was not my favorite of all time, but I had a blast watching it and it really nailed the ending, an important and fairly rare thing in series like these. Some of the inciting incidents that led to arcs (a car hits Mob? C'mon.) were a bit over the top, but the show earns its pathos.

★★★★
