This question has only two answers, yes or no, and I think in this case, there are gray areas.
It wasn't great, it wasn't Z or DB. It isn't Saint Seiya or Death Note, but it also isn't Saint Seiya Omega or ENTER AWFUL ANIME.
It had a bad production, bad planning, bad ideas like retelling in a poor manner movies we've already seen. The animation took 30 episodes to kick in, and it took the exciting situations 40 episodes to arrive, and for the actually good animation we had to wait 90 episodes. There were long breaks between each arc, as well, and at times the need for an actual official storyline was too big, the wait was excruciating more than once.
After that, it's a pretty decent show, the FT arc has its flaws but it's enjoyable, the animation is kinda subpar still but not awful, and some filler episodes between arcs are boring to the point of no return.
The preparation for the ToP was too long, as long as the ToP, and the ToP had really boring episodes, mostly at first. After the special, that was around episode 109 (15 episodes after the ToP began), the show got intense and fucking awesome.
There were some cool thngs, some slice of life episodes are definitely good, but other episodes weren't even phoned in.
Overall, it's an ok anime to me, maybe calling it a not-bad anime fits better. It doesn't suck and it relies solely on two arcs: Zamasu arc and the last 20 episodes of the ToP. I guess I really liked those 20 episodes and the Zamau arc. They do balance the scale for me.
