Basically a recap of Season 2, I think diehard fans probably don't need it but its fun to watch it again

Can't wait for Season 3

I usually skip on recap episode but I've to admit that my memory is not good enough to remember events from 6 years ago (or 10 years if counted from season 1). Now watching this recap reaffirm my statements
1. Season 2 doesn't deserve all the hatred, I remember at that time I can't scroll through comments without seeing half of those complain about how it's inferior to season 1 or how they miss Madhouse involvement. Back then I didn't have enough experience to judge the anime yet, but since then I've watch at least 50 anime per season and now I know for real that Season 2 has GOOD production, and I'm pretty sure that season 3 will have a good production too.
2. I just realized that I've a new problem that I haven't notice before, it seems like all monsters fated are to be killed, even if some of them haven't even successfully kill any human yet. Let's say that it's a species that only has a role to be killed, but season 2 open the possibility that human can becomes monster too, that'd create a gray area, isn't it? Should capturing monsters alive become a choice? Not that it'll stop Saitama from one-punch them to death but it's something to think about.
3. At that time I said Suiryu's voice actor Masaya Matsukaze gave his best performance yet, and even now it's still his best performance of his career. If you want to hear a character full of confidence, but little by little he begin to lose confidence, until he has nothing left and only yearning for miracle, go check episode 8 of season 2 right now.
4. And I also remember how hard I ship Garo with Suiryu, or the other way around, they're reversible...

I was wondering what the point would be of having a recap for an anime with only two seasons of 12 episodes each.
In the end, it’s not so bad for people who don’t necessarily want to watch the earlier seasons or just want a reminder of the story.

Considering how many years it's been since season 2, I don't mind the recap. It saved me 3 YT videos so that's fine.

Great way to remind us how disappointing the second season was. And to lower expectations for the upcoming season in the process....

Normally I stay away from recaps but since I have not watched One 🥊 Man in such a long time it didn’t disappoint. Season 2 wasn’t as bad as I remembered it. Looking forward to season 3.

A little recap before the season 3, that's a good idea !

With how long it’s been since S2 a recap is appreciated. I might still give S2 a full rewatch this week anyway ngl.
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.

Right around the 11:34 mark they play a total rip-off of the opening cords to In My Darkest Hour by Megadeth.

Decent recap. It's been years since I watched Season 2 and I didn't feel like rewatching that garbage so this recap was highly appreciated. Wish more anime got these because I don't care enough about most anime to do complete rewatches.

I love that voice actor who narrated the recap. Other than that, I probably didn’t need it.
It’s time to ditch the text file.
