I don't even remember most of Inakuni Raimon, nor do I particularly care for them

I wouldn't say it's still "too soon", we're already at the Asian prelim finals, which is halfway through the series

I can't speak for the entire Japanese fanbase but people on the forums don't have high expectations for the anime anymore, coupled with the fact that the weekly anime threads no longer exist anymore due to lack of popularity. There used to be a good number of posts per episode discussing it, but nowadays there's hardly any discussion whatsoever

Orion got good designs, hissatsus, and character interaction, but matches, character-building, and story are boring to extreme dreary levels of dull that even Ares' trainwreck clown fiesta had more fun and soul.

I agree, I enjoyed vs Red Bison but after that it just turned into a repetitive cycle of the disciples of each team trying to injure Inazuma Japan and acting like they're so much better. There's not much character building, Endou's got Fuujin Raijin Ghost like nothing and Ichihoshi was all of sudden made out to be a good guy. IJ does some training but there's a lot of flashbacks, and I still don't get why having a strengthening committee makes the Ares teams world level, wouldn't they just get to the same level as Reloaded Raimon? Opponents other than disciples didn't do much other than get jobbed
