I honestly think this is a great anime with intelligent humor and unique visual style but an average gaijin pleb like me probably won’t fully grasp all the references and things happening on the screen. I can’t say that I’m a Japanese pro, but I’m definitely not a complete zero with Japanese culture, and yet I understood maybe 50-60 of all the gags in the show, which was not enough to get enjoyment from watching. And the jokes I was able to understand were not worth enough to rate this anime higher than 6/10.

And if I recall correctly, previous seasons weren’t so hardcore and were easier to comprehend. And another flaw of the third season is that all the episodes have just one simple pattern: an event which sets the stage for a joke and a lot of jokes based on that event. And it gets pretty boring after watching 3-4 episodes.
