I've no idea how they'll wrap all of this arc up with only about 40 minutes left, minus the OP/ED segments. ^_^;

Sorry to disappoints you here, but the Garou arc won't ends in this season (This season will mostly ended at cliffhanger unless they went filler, which is quite unlikely) and the arc will only end at around Season 3 or 4.

Cool episode. Several scenes had awkward, bad looking art style, though. Genos' new armor looked even wirse than the previous one in my opinion. I dunno if it's its colours or average executed CGI effect.

The best parts were: when King and Saitama were playing a video game; scenes with Gyoro and terrifying Orochi; but definitely the best bit was in the end when Garou faced all those heroes being wounded. I root for him to win, but I'm afraid that without monster cells it is gonna be impossible in his current state.

In general I liked this episode. I hope last two eps will have some nice fighting sequences.

Im starting to like Garou, Im actually rooting for him now lmao

If we think about him, then as famous "hero hunter" he didn't kill any hero. Garou just knocks-out heroes he is after. His desire to become a monster has roots in compassion towards all hated monsters that are being exterminated all the time. So he ain't that evil, lol.

This type of argument doesn't even make sense at all. According to your logic, there's no reason to watch the anime because there's already an original source of it exists before. Orochi and that tournament "arc" may not be includes on original webcomic but that doesn't meant it's filler. You have to remember that all these "fillers" are actually written by ONE himself, so this mean all of the manga-exclusive staffs was canon.


I was also once thought that tournament "arc" was filler until the fans told me otherwise and some of manga-exclusive staffs was introduced in the latest webcomic chapters.

This is impossible to conclude in two episodes as of now. They've either to go with an anime original ending or butcher even the ending of this show. If it's the latter, good job for maximum failure.

Why is this a big surprise when the Garou arc is not even end yet in the manga too? I'm pretty sure a lot of manga-readers already expected this season will ended at cliffhanger (Saitama one punches Elder Centipede and Garou saved by Monster Association) and this has nothing to do with the bad direction this season have.

Your word about this season is a failure wasn't wrong, though. Lol

Ah, ok. I'm only 5 chapters ahead of the tv series, manga wise (as my country tends to dish out volumes rather slow compared to America or France) and an end doesn't seem to be even near. I thought they concluded the arc in Japan at least, oh well.
So it will definitely be anime original or butchered as there doesn't seem to be an ideal cliffhanger-moment (afaik).

Well, if we're talking about the original webcomic, then it's true that Garou arc was already ended back before the anime adaptation was even announced. But when comes to the manga, the Garou arc was just around middle part of the story and I don't think the arc will be concluded anytime soon, due to the manga was releases monthly and ONE are trying to extend the arc to adding some new elements that's not present in webcomic (For example: Orochi).

ArrRti said:

Well, I do see some fight may will be butchered and the Elder Centipede's fight will most likely butchered to only few minutes long. As for the ending, they could be ended the show at either Genos asks Saitama for how to become stronger or Hero Association hired some heroes for made preparation to attacks the Monster Association's main base.

I don't think someone pretends something must be filler because they hate it was stupid. The stupidest thing here is how they don't want to admits how wrong they are no matter how many times we explains something to them.

I already told this guy for three times about how that tournament "arc" was canon and written by ONE himself, and yet all he did was keep ignoring my comment and continue to claiming that "arc" was filler because I "defended" it.

How about you just stop posting the same thing when someone don't agree with you? This is like the 10000th time you reply the same thing to me, and I already said in the previous topic that my opinion won't change no matter how many times you said it's "good".

Not try to be hostile here, but this is just wasting your time to arguing the same thing over and over to the same person, if they won't listen your thought. If I were you, I would just choose to ignoring instead of keep posting the same thing. At least, this is how I do when I saw the hater who doesn't want to listen.

The animation style changes significantly in the Garou fight. Though that part also is the best animated part. Maybe they should ask that specific animation team to do the rest of the series.

Ahh, favourite part of the OPM manga finally being adapted, next episode can be amazing. I hope they stick a little more true to the manga than in this ep, but overall I liked the animation more than the last couple. I do think that two episodes isn't enough to adapt all the material for this arc, however, and I'm concerned about that.

Garou is the GOAT.

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.

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


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.



the director while he did what you said but that's because of lack of time for sure

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.



lol nope Saitama might be overpowered but it doesn't damage anything yeah he's the strongest hero but still heroes give him a reason to live and have some company rather doing nothing and that's actually the interesting about OPM in general

There wasn’t any actual blackface just a black guy who looks like a black guy. Outrage culture at its finest. When the animation is actually good the haters have to find something to rag on. And unsurprisingly the majority of complainers are... you guessed it, white!

It's not like I've become used to it but this episode was actually a fun watch that didn't bore me nor overwhelmed me with how shoddily made some parts of the episodes usually are. The characters looked good most of the time especially Garou who's given the spotlight in the latter half and the sound effects were more appropriate this time.

There wasn't much action throughout the episode but that fight scene with the Hero Hunter against the 8-Man Hero Hunter Hunters Squad was really exciting. His talk with Tareo made me feel just as warm in the inside when I read that part in the manga but this part in the anime in particular made him a lot more likable.

Some aggressive Ora Oras from Saitama, a little Yare Yare from King, and a dash of Takehito Koyasu afterwards. Seeing that adapted with a bonus made me rather happy~
