| One Frame Man or whatever the joke is going on isn’t very far from reality, and you don’t even have to be a know-how to see how badly the people behind this have dropped the ball, smh. If there was something called, “bare-minimum”, then yeah, we’ve got that bare minimum itself. Mind you, this Garou match-up wasnt even in the top 20 fights among MANY we’d see in this arc, and yeah, we’re out of juice already. Also, director can simply pack it up and go do some farming or stuff back home, maybe he’ll make it there, because yeah, we can blame the animation and how badly most of the stuff looks, though hey, the direction is equally bad, because most of the time you’re waiting for something to happen… which eventually isn’t happening, just making everything around uber awkward. I know we jump here and there throughout this arc, or more like it’s a problem of this series, but yeah, can we not make it a bit less jarring… we can, right? Anyway, it’s a very long arc and this build-up phase is going to be around here for very long as well. Can only hope we don’t hit the bottom of the barrel even more sooner. |
| HOLY SHIT THIS ANIME IS AWFUL, the people making this anime didn't even drop the ball, the ball was never even lifted from the ground, it was dug down. |
| 90% of the storyboards are exactly the manga panels, guys trust me read the manga while seeing the episode, i respect every one's effort but that's one to one from manga done badly , like they don't know that the plank background in manga is a background, they just put it as a colorful character on a black background |
| This is going great! |
 |
| This episode is sooo midddd, the fight was short and not even that good. The last fight was horrendously bad, like I'm watching a 2010 anime Actually, One Frame Man....Dam you, Bandai Namco, poor Aoki and JC.Staff, |

| Okay, I’m done. I’m not wasting my time on this garbage anymore. The animation is overloaded with still frames, and the storyboarding and direction are absolute trash (especially during that waterfall fight scene... oh my God). It’s insane how something this poorly made actually got approved by the director. No surprise though, this guy literally directed hentai before and has never handled an action series in his life. And it really shows. And honestly, at this point it doesn’t even feel like incompetence, it feels like a money laundering scheme disguised as animation work Rest in Peace, One Punch Man anime. Once a masterpiece that defined the very peak of animation, now nothing more than a disgrace far below mediocrity. Your legacy will not be forgotten. |

Psychological damage from dropping a wallet, I can relate to that... |
| Honestly I felt bad for the director at first. But this episode solidifies my opinion on him being utterly incompetent at his job. The pacing is so bad that every dialogue feels unserious. He somehow managed to butcher the Aoki fight scene that was animated 1.5 years ago by removing parts of it, heck he even removed the Saitama panting animation with still frame, I guess we really want this season to be known as one frame man eh? Oh the episode itself is full of single frames accompanied by panning shots with barely any animation. And let's not even talk about the waterfall fight scene. Genuinely shameful display. |
| Okay Garou got destroyed (but he's coming back) some boring talk between Saitama and his friends and some setup for the monster kidnapping, that poor kid has a "friend" now in his cell. Another very meh episode, low budget animation and it's not even entertaining... |

King aura farming 🥶🔥 |
 |
| Okay... the Garou part of the episode was pretty good and that's thanks to Kenichirou Aoki, but that's about it. tbh. The direction felt a little too fast, ngl. Like I'm watching the show on 1.3x or something. Aside from that, Garou went down because he let his guard down there, and Tareo was kidnapped by the monsters. Garou is not dead or anything, but he seems like he's passed out because of too much loss of blood there. Tareo did find the other kidnapped kid there, although he's pretty cocky given his father's status in the Hero Association. |
 |
| Well, the animation for the Garou fight was decent. Not "great" or "amazing." But "decent." The fight between two of the Monster Association members could have been better though. But it was alright overall. |
| Yeah just throw this whole season away lol 💀 I said it before and I'll say it again, season 1 was both the best AND worst thing that could have happened for this series. It put OPM on the map and boosted its popularity but it was truly like catching lightning in a bottle, setting the standards and expectations so high that subsequent season were just doomed from the start. |
| People on MAL refuse to actually enjoy watching anime. Your taste in anime isn't a personality trait. Take me back to the days before MAL became infested with Twitter's favorite buzzwords. |
| OK, maybe I didn't get something, but how exactly the fight between speedsters was bad? |
| Imagine normies saying: "Peaky Blinders is mid and overhyped. Just another typical crime drama show. Breaking Bad is much better lol.". |
| Lol at the "King Engine" being activated for Dr. Kuseno's arrival. Garou going down to a cheap shot is a shame, but at least he'll get to slide another day. |
| I no longer see how you can logically defend this anymore. They even cut that sick-ass deflection by Garou against Bug God from the preanimated original version of that fight. And YES, that was in the manga, too.  |

@Ryuseishun I haven't even watched the episode yet, but oh boy, that deflection was my favorite part of that fight in the manga, and you're telling me the director cut that shit out? I'm not feeling too sorry for the director anymore. For fucks sake, don't ever touch OPM. |

| @Mainnus ha ha true |
| they reused the same sequence 5 times in the garou vs ripper fight, or it looks like that at least :( |
| People need to stop defending and cutting slack to the director and JC Staff. Of course Bandai is the main culprit in this, but the direction and pacing has been crap in these 3 episodes and outside one fight scene, the animation has been at best mid and at worst still frame. |

| @xZabuzax For addition context, they had this way back in the preanimated version from the teaser trailer last year. No fucking clue why they got rid of it for more underwhelming additions. |

| That fight scene between Garou and the monsters was pretty decent honestly (compared to what we have seen so far) and also considering the horrendous schedule that was given to the production team at J.C staff to make this anime they did better than what I expected, yeah its not anything spectacular to look at but its still way better than TBATE. |
| I feel no joy watching this. That Wind vs Flame fight in the cave was just ass. |
| They censored Mizuki before she could debut... https://myanimelist.net/forum/?topicid=2238351   |
