I agree!
After the Red-Light District arc, I decided to lower my expectations around the narrative story telling and use of flashbacks. I love the action animation and soundtrack. I also enjoy the characters and the general concepts of the story arcs. But a lot of the story itself falls flat for me, and doesn't show signs of changing. Perhaps it has something to do with who they see as their audience (more casual, might be doing something else while watching).
With that in mind, I quite enjoyed this season. My main disappointment was that they did the 2-fights-at-once thing again.
They really did every anime cliche possible this season. Constantly pausing fights to explain something, constantly switching back and forth between fights, introduced 2 new characters by flashback right before they are about to "die".
