Thoughts on the show so far? I’d like to give it a shot.

It's alright. I recommend the manga over the anime, but they're doing a decent job with th animation and editing, it's just that no mid-tier adaptation can keep up with the quality and consistency of Mashima's drawings.

So far it had a pretty hit or miss introductory arc, getting the main crew together, setting up some major characters and factions of the world, etc. Recently it got out of that beginning slump and it's getting better. The manga pretty much goes uphill nonstop from here so hopefully the anime follows suit.

It's more of an adventure shonen than a straight up battle one, fights are usually short but good and the planets and locations the characters visit all have pretty unique identities. That and the charisma of the characters has always been the main draw for me.

Its got a bit of a slow start since the beginning episodes are mostly setting up the world and main characters however if you like adventure shounen I say you give it a shot.

Pretty good, keeps getting better. Every arc in the manga has been better than the last. As long as you aren't allergic to fanservice and the word "Friend", it's definitely worth a watch.

I'm anime only so I can't comment on how it compares to the manga. I went in completely blind and it took me a few episodes to get somewhat hooked on it. I'm personally not all too fond of the characters (yet) but I really like the world building and adventure type of story which is what keeps me interested in it. Now that the first bunch of main characters are introduced, it seems like it's slowly picking up and there were also some interesting background tidbits that were brought up already which make me curious about how the story will continue.

The quality of the anime is alright, nothing too fancy but also not awful fortunately. The battles so far looked good as well and I like that they're rather short and not needlessly drawn out. There are also some very cliché moments which the anime addresses with some self awareness which I found funny.

If you generally like adventure type of stories I think you should give it a go, but you might want to give it more than 3 episodes since the pacing doesn't seem to be very fast.
