To be fair, Shonen anime is aimed at teenagers and young adults. I think you are unintentionally perpetuating a common misconception about anime when you say it’s for children. I think it’s one of the reasons why so many Americans automatically think cartoons and anime are the exact same when anime is far more nuanced than that.

I was being more facetious. I rewatched the entire series over the past month or so before the new one and I did not expect to enjoy it as much as back then, but I totally did! My only complaint was the poor pacing at times which wasn't due to the story but more the production demanding certain episodes to be stretched to meet the quota.

Yes the pacing is absolutely terrible. It’s the same issue I have with One Piece and Naruto. I find a number of long-running anime run into this issue. Toriko was another one that fell apart (towards the end).
