to be honest, I didn't like the new season at all. The plot was very messy, you didn't have time to concentrate. as for the animation, everything is also very bad. I understand that this is a new studio, but damn, why put 2d animation in the hands of a 3d studio? the colors turned out to be very bright and toxic, and the movements were jerky. There is nothing to say about the proportions of the characters. and I'm the only one who has the feeling that they were drawing on a ruler and not drawing by hand? If we take the beginning of the path as an example Flying Bark, then we can see that the characters were a little crooked at first, but there were no problems with the movements. and now it's both. For me personally, season 5 was a complete disappointment, and discouraged me from watching new seasons in the future. if season 6 is the same, it will be very, very sad...
The animation was still beautiful in this season, and it was all done very last minute! I'm sure it will be even better next season, now that they have more time to work on it. Though it was a bit lacking in a few scenes, overall they did a good job and it really started to improve by the final episodes.
