7.5/10, decently fun (Spoiler Free)
Basic premise: Teenager wants to become a gangster and stop drugs, meets a crew and goes on a bizarre adventure across Italy.
It's fun -- it's not the most smartly written or a genuine masterpiece or anything but I did enjoy myself, especially coming from the previous parts. The characters were all likable and entertaining (for the most part), the stands were unique, and the villain was cool. Personally I think that the ending felt a bit rushed but it wasn't enough to the point where it soured the experience (looking at you, Part 4.)
Language Learning: Easier than the previous part for sure, but the previous part wasn't much of a step up in difficulty either. If you were able to watch the previous parts just fine then this will also be alright, maybe other than a few random vocab linked to 組織. The grammar was always straight forward and there weren't any characters with confusing accents, just some rare vocab occasionally thrown in during dramatic scenes.
If you've seen the previous parts, then I'd describe it as a more serious-feeling Part 3. Part 4 had a lot of slice-of-life styled episodes in between the fighting and this part is not like that at all. There will be fights or plot relevant things every episode. There def was a good amount of humour but less compared to Part 3. If you missed the friendship between the Crusaders then I'd say that this part comes pretty close in terms of it. Also, Bruno is easily one of the best characters ever. 7.5/10 nearing an 8/10.
