I mostly agree with the first four volumes here. Volume 1 was pretty small in its scope, but it set up the show nicely. Mountain Glenn was a pretty amazing arc with the best fight scenes of its time. Volume 3 finally made Poser look good with its rounded edges. Volume 4 had a pretty darn "anime" intro, and it was a pretty good time thematically to introduce Maya since the overarching arc changed for the first time.

Volume 5... Well, the first few episodes are always more lax in a season since they have to set up the immediate arcs and do a lot of work in getting RWY back together. But we did get the Lancer and Bandit fights. Episode 2 was my favorite of the openers, and the other problem I share with most people is how long it took Blake to get anything through (though when it happened, those episodes were great).

And for what it's worth, I think the Grimm were at a satisfying level. The Lancers were a very formidable threat and actually caused a lot of conflict, and the Seer was exceedingly scary. For once, the Grimm live up to their roles in what we do see of them.

Anything that happened in the Grand Hall of Haven was relatively anticlimactic though (Like the Volume 2 finale).
