| Finally a good episode. |
| The second half improved this dumpster fire a bit. Garou's fight against everyone had nice cuts, although now I see where are they tossing the budget at... The freaking movie-like amount of characters and voice actors. I mean, holy hell, out of the forty-and-something characters (including the twenty characters introduced in this bs episode), I think I only care for... Who? The kid who has the book and...? Whoops, I forgot the rest, sorry. The pace is decent, but the amount of characters introduced made me feel like watching TG:re. At friggin' least, the plot is now moving forward, though I'm wondering if this may end with a cliffhanger or what? This bs season has two episodes left to wrap this bs arc. I don't read the manga, though now with this adaptation I think I'll never read it (Murata's art deserves better), but I hope... PLEASE... I hope the two last episodes have to be decent, also Garou has a potential to be an above-average villain in this bs series. Bad and boring first half; decent second half. Unfunny comedy... Somehow I still hope the last episodes will do justice. |
| No community will be as misunderstood as the furry community. Uh... I guess? |
| i liked this episode, i really love Garou |

| Yet another disappointment, they didn't even bother animating Saitama's encounter with the monsters. I don't understand how one of the most popular Anime Series' Worldwide could be downgraded more than some fan animations on YouTube. |
| No saitama = 1/5 episode. |
| one of the better episode this second season |
 |
| I remember thinking while reading the manga: "Is King just ungodly amazing at games or does Saitama just completely suck ass?" (Answer is both, by the way) I always thought that the parasite monster was creepy. Those executives must be pretty stupid to even buy the peace speech for a few seconds. Superalloy Darkshine is so full of it, and I love it. He's a great character. I still can't get over how utterly terrible Genos looks. Animated face with CG bullshit from the neck down. It looks so bad. I thought the reason Metal Knight didn't want to participate in the raid was because he was scared? Did I read that part of the manga incorrectly? I love that half second part of Garou drilling a hole through concrete with his finger. Love that J.C. was able to include that. The fight was well animated. I hope they do the second half of it justice, but I don't have my hopes very high. |
| Liked how Garo protected the kid. For a monster hunter he sure has a soft spot for that dorky kid! I hope he won't be defeated by those heroes. |

| Damn, Garo really got beaten up by the "dog" hero + Saitama and now those 8 guys are doing a great job. But i feel like the kid will interfere somehow... And damn, Orochi looks really badass! Can't wait for his fight! |
"There is no such thing as an Anime elitist. You watch Anime, therefore, you are trash by society's standards." |
| Very little one punching this episode and most other episodes this season. I mean that's why we're all here watching this, right? |
| And so begins my favorite scene in all of One Punch Man, and honestly one of my favorite fight scenes in anime/manga. Here's hoping they don't butcher it. So far, there were a few mediocre parts, but it also looks like they're putting effort into this one. We'll have a clearer picture next week. Also, is anybody else upset that they got rid of the Jojo reference from the manga?  I guess they kept the ora ora ora, but I didn't hear yare yare daze nor did I see the go go go go katakana. Also, slight spoiler alert: yes, this season will end on a cliffhanger. |

| And the ending song is back, I wish Garou wins this fight, he's quite the good and bad person at the same time |
| Honestly, the King and Saitama sequences were the best parts of this episode. xD Those 8 heroes are doing a pretty good job at keeping Garou down. Wonder how this is gonna play out, I'm assuming the kid will have a role to play? |
 |
| Garou feeling kinda like an underdog right now. To be fair he's never actually killed anyone so he's not that bad. Feeling like the kid might come out of the shed and try to protect Garou but idk. |
| I keep forgetting the VA's name for Gyoro, I think it's Takehito Koyasu but I'm not sure. Please correct me if I'm wrong. It was a likable episode, not the greatest obviously. I think that bit where the monsters were instantly beaten by Saitama and they were scattered all over the ground was kind of cheap. I haven't caught up with the manga since I'm reading other series right now so I'm not sure if him beating them up was illustrated. Garou's fight with the heroes was okay too. |
| 臭い- |
| My heart hurts a lot, they murdered One Punch Man, from one of the best animation to one that is normal-bad. |
| I keep moving forward |
| > Saitama getting pissed by King. Talk about emotionless. > Child Emperor's VA = Envy! (FMA fam) > Even though Garou is an anti-hero, he still has a moral compass. Anyway, they cannot rush this to the finale in the manga. 3rd season should be in order. But for the love of God, JC Staff shouldn't handle this anymore. So incompetent EXCEPT for Kenichiro Aoki, the one-man animator that is still passionate about this project. The sound director still sucks in his job here. I know his SFX from Ajin, it's quite decent. |
 |
| That polished Genos tho... Mostly a build up episode for what's to come but it was still a pretty decent one. The final sequence with Garou "fighting" the other heroes looked nice, by the way. |
| Gd to see a decent animated episode for once.I'm looking forward to the next episode.Hope they animate it well. |
 |
| Pretty boring episode tbh... |
"At some point, I stopped hoping." |
| Oh man, I'm worried about Super S. I hope she doesn't get killed, Super S is too sexy to die! |
| the problem this season is not exclusive to jc staff, but the same author seems that this forgeted about his own story, because extend this arc to see the secondary characters with their own fights seriously, when before Saitama always came here to piss on the pride of these guys in a burlesque plan by showing them that they are not worth anything by making their own punchline, because seriously after Boros no one could take seriously any of these guys who are literal garbage. This has no parody or grace How I detest that the authors always turn their initially interesting work into a cliche and boring story |

And funnily enough it was animated by JC Staff xD. JC Staff is really good at certain genres. Action isnt really their strong suit. My favorite has to be Black Lagoon or Fate Stay Night Unlimited Blade Works I mean Saiki K had basically no animation xd, so yea it was basically a show made for JC staff. |

This has no parody or grace How I detest that the authors always turn their initially interesting work into a cliche and boring story I respect your opinion dude but I disagree, most of us actually doesn't have a problem with the manga, after the Boros arc OPM got a bit more serious but it was pretty well presented in the manga and it was still interesting. Some people didn't liked the tournament arc but I actually liked that arc. The thing I didn't like is how mediocre the anime presented the things from the manga, it had no impact, no well directed scenes, the director needs to make those moments shine in the anime but he's just lazily copy/pasting the manga into the anime and it just isn't working out and the mediocre animation is not helping either. My point is that the source material (aka: the manga) has nothing to do with how bad season 2 has become, the manga is pretty good in it's own right, the anime however is not. If the directing and animation was something close to season 1 then the 2nd season would be more enjoyable and people wouldn't be complaining about it all the time. I think you're someone who can enjoy something more traditional, but I keep my point simply is not a correct evolution of the concept because despite everything the very existence of Saitama completely ruins any kind of tension it is impossible to take anything seriously because of his omnipotence, it has become the same as he tried to parody which is not a sign of good writing but of a huge contradiction. |
| Great episode. I didn't like that the left the shiny nude guy at the start be as dark as he would be in real life. They should have added some fake lighting for when he shows up so the audience can see the character better Also, the season is 12 episodes. Next episode should be the end of the Garou fight and but given that most likely the season will end with what all the heroes are thinking while entering the Monster Association's base I don't think there's enough content for a full episode (including the scene and the scene). Well, they might decide to drag on the scenes so that the time extends RayReynolds said: I think you're someone who can enjoy something more traditional, but I keep my point simply is not a correct evolution of the concept because despite everything the very existence of Saitama completely ruins any kind of tension it is impossible to take anything seriously because of his omnipotence, it has become the same as he tried to parody which is not a sign of good writing but of a huge contradiction. That's the whole point of the show. Saitama is the Deus Ex Machina. There is literally no one in the world stronger than him (I did see a fan-made picture of the rankings of all strong beings in OPM and there was only 1 character placed next to Saitama at the top and it was someone who isn't even introduced in the manga yet, so he/she definitely wouldn't appear in the next 2-3 seasons of the anime). Saitama limited his power against Boros due to going with the flow but he definitely could have one-punched him too |

| I'm not just gonna hate on J.C. staff so good episode |
Come on man,where is that Noragami season 3 masterpiece.We want it, Bones! |
| Strangely a good OPM2 episode. Garou somehow thinks King dealt him that kick. It seems that both Saitama and Garou are unaware of each other's existence yet they've had numerous encounters |
| Another evidence even Saitama can't defeat King. |

| Is King going to get the credit for weakening Garou enough for capture? |
 |
| Im starting to like Garou, Im actually rooting for him now lmao |
| Fingers crossed that Garo's next fight won't be a dissapointment |
 |
| Season 1 was awful but that season is actualy twice worse than season 1, how awful can an anime be... |
| Signature removed. Please have a positive iq. |
