That opinion is not as unpopular as you think. I too am bored with meeting the past protagonists. I rather looked forward to meeting a new lineup of bladers every year and discovering their personalities, motives and quirks. Of all the Burst seasons, so far Sparking is the one I've taken the least interest in. I wait for it to change my mind.
They're already setting up lots of plots rn. Those being:
Shu and Lane
Defeat Lane
Hyuga can't make it into the legends festival
Defeat the legends (they aren't just training, their mission is to defeat each legends, at least the ones that appear in the anime)
Previous plots were:
Get strong enough to defeat the legends
Rank up for the festival
Defeat the Legends (hey failed 90% of the time but still)
And as I've said before, the manga "suffering from shortness" is just a flat out lie. But As of now I will admit Sparking hasn't gotten extremely interesting in the anime so far, but its ramping up in intensity gradually with Lane and Shu. The small Drum arc kinda takes away from it, but still. We're about to get Hikaru and Hyuga vs Lane and the Legends Festival, so then I suspect it'll really become good and interesting then (for the anime, the manga has been amazing so far).
