Good animation, but weird pacing. You're better off reading the manga.

I read the first arc of the manga in JP and decided to watch the anime. In my opinion, the manga is one of the best shounen mangas of this decade, with likeable characters and an engaging story, as well as cool art to compliment it.

Now, the animation in the anime is very well done. But the pacing is weird compared to the manga in my opinion. Certain scenes drag on while others are too short, and the writing is a little ehh at times. I much preferred the manga version.

As for vocab it's sitting around N3, most likely, but I also read the manga before watching so it naturally came easier to me. There's some government terms to know as well, but other than that it's fairly simple.
