While Burst is a toyetic anime and is aimed for a slightly younger audience, we should expect some level of quality for it. If we have to set the bar much lower for the Burst seasons to enjoy it, then what does it really say about your opinions on the Burst seasons?
Yeah, I've seen some people use the "at least it's not as bad as X season, therefore your criticisms are invalid" as a way to avoid addressing the issues with Burst. I won't blindly praise or criticise a season. I'll try to give both pros and cons, no matter how good or bad a season turned out to be.

I wouldn't say it's an awful season, but it's definitely a flawed season with a so many great ideas but lackluster payoff in some of those areas (e.g. Free's "revenge" on Lean, rushed character arcs).
