I am sorry but this anime is not for the casual anime fans like you, it is only for veterans, I suggest you stop watcing the 8th season of this anime, or you will make things much worse for yourself too, as a matter of fact you are not even supposed to touch this anime before having watched up atleast 100 anime alltogether, it’s better if you avoid watching this one as it often even results in newcomers suffering actually physical head pain due to pressure of trying to figure out what is going on. For instance, half of us here understand japanese to some degree or other due to having watched certain amount to understand the puns or references of the show along side the running jokes but for casual fans like they are unable to understand if usually and it goes all over the head, this is also the case with philosphy of the show and logic that comes with it, for example you have no idea how chronology of this franchise works since you started with this season, I suggest you to watch the Ago Girl, and Drifters instead of this for current moment.
