| oh man I'm still hoping the big showdown will be worth to see cause I'm thinking besides the visual downgrade I think they're censoring shit too, like when the ugly kid was thinking of Garou lying unconscious, the blood was white? I'm not in china ffs. |

| Another meh episode, it was a bit better than the previous 2 I guess, but that ain't saying much since they are on the shitty side too, I'm still disappointed as fuck. This season has the same quality as your average shitty Isekai slop, and I won't accept this in OPM since this isn't your average shitty Isekai slop, this is a big franchise and had the potential to be as big as Demon Slayer or at least close to it if they didn't fuck this up with shit animation, but it's too late for that now, this big franchise is receiving a shitty low quality treatment and it's going ass-backwards. The fight was meh, they also removed my favorite scene in the whole fight, which is Garou reflecting that other guy's swords and hitting Bug God with it. Why did you remove one of the best scenes in the fight, Mr. Director? Who knows, but the director in his all-mighty wisdom should know the answer. They obviously cut corners too to avoid animating stuff; they didn't animate Garou spitting his teeth in Ch. 88:  And about the comedy scenes, I loved this part in the manga, but the comedy isn't landing on me in this season, the way it's directed seems cheap, uninspiring, and generic, exactly like the rest of the show. Meh. I'll finish this season just for the memes and to see this shit burn, but for fucks sake, don't ever do another season, I'd rather have this franchise not have another season than have it being massacred and bastardized by this shitty quality. |
| Sigh. At least by the next episode I think the heroes will finally be entering the monster association's lair. |

| I think this was probably the best episode so far, though that's not saying much. Why are there so many still frames man... Isn't this jumping around a bit too much? I feel like a good amount of things from this episode could have been cut and it all would've flowed a bit better. What was even the point of that ninja fight on that bridge? Not only did it look very rough, but also... why? I'm not sure if I want to keep watching at this point. This season has some pretty serious problems, and my god the behind the scenes stuff is a mess rn. The community is on fire... A part of me wants to just stop watching here and pick up the manga instead. Idk, I need to think about it a bit more. Maybe I'm just tired, but the way I see, I'm just not interested in this rn. I'd much rather see what the manga is like instead of supporting this show. @SasakiYuuto @AshTheChamp nice to see some people blaming Bandai for this mess. I do think the staff shared like some of the blame, but I mostly blame Bandai for rushing this season and for giving it such a small budget. Didn't they only have like 6-7 months to work on it or something? It sucks they're getting death threats too... over a show. |

| There was a part where it was panning over one drawing for 22 seconds. A total of 4 drawings in 1 minute+. Are you kidding me? It's not just animation either. Story, pacing, flow... everything is just bad. Might drop this after next episode if things stay the same. What a letdown. |

| An absolute disgrace. Dropped. |
| I would argue that, resolution and absence of color aside, "Arichan the Ant", made in 1941, has a better and more fluid animation than this so-called Action/Seinen created in 2025. How can any of you defend it, continuously finding excuses for such an insane amount of still frames? No, it’s not "fine", "OK", or "average at worst". And I am glad that such slop isn't actually the average for the anime industry today. |

The bad isekais i watch have better animation
| Aint that the truth xD |
 |
| A bit of a boring episode compared to the last one mostly because lack of Garou heh. Saitama ofc forgets things like his cabbage back in the restaurant due to a funny haha event xd Yeah, we all expected Garou will be fine despite the massive injuries he suffered but I wonder how strong he's going to be from this moment onwards? Fights kinda lacking but at least it wasn't unwatchable so it's just aight. Few funny moments but yeah it could've adapted better. Dr. Genus explaining that Saitama removed his limiter to Zombieman was certainly something to him. Also, King being King is still as funny as ever XD Anyways, poor Tareo though since now he's imprisoned with Waganma and let's see how Garou is going to save Tareo in the future. |
 |
| some funny moments but ultimately ruined by what amounts to some VERY sophomoric animation. seriously, for such a highly anticipated sequel how could they not put in at least a little more effort? this is just painful to watch. |
 |
| Fights are not as exciting as I thought they will be. Hope it'll become better later in the season. |
 |
| Decent episode. I loved the fight between Garou and the two monsters. It wasn’t as bad as I expected, at the very least, it was better than TBATE’s fights, which were basically PPTX slides. Either way, I’m glad Garou finally woke up, since I’m excited to see what’s next for him. |
| some bits weren’t bad, but overall pretty meh one thing about average adaptations that i dislike - that isn’t as talked about - is how normal conversations are adapted it felt like dialogue was going wayyy too quickly especially at the start. it’s like the production is just reading a script, trying to quickly get through each line good anime know how to enjoy the pauses, and emphasize key lines. frieren comes to mind that conversation with zombieman in the manga felt a lot cooler and more interesting. whereas in this i was like slow downnnn |

@Skuvan Using TBATE as an example makes it even sadder. OPM S3 degraded to the point where we need to use TBATE as an example.
| @xZabuzax I mean, genuinely, and this might be my bias towards the studio, but we take what we get, you know? If we only focus on the bad, we’ll never see the good. But if we accept both, our perspective broadens, and we get a clearer picture of the whole. Nevertheless, that’s just what I personally think. |
| Five minutes in and I'm already sick of the still frames |
| The animation was decent for some of the scenes compared to the previous episode but nothing worth mentioning. |

The animation is very bad compared to season 1, there are a lot of cuts from the manga, and I would recommend that you read the manga rather than watch the anime produced by Bandai.
| @adityangh92 adityangh92 said: The animation is very bad compared to season 1 You don't have to compare it to season 1.. it's worse even than season 2. |
| I tried to enjoy it but this time it was really difficult to enjoy it I mean, they put slide so how can we still call that an anime... |

| Pretty slow episode, we really didn't need to hear that explanation about heroes and limiters. The fighting scenes in this episode were average, could've been worse I guess. |
| Man, this part’s so dull. |
 |
Excuse me what am i watching? is this suppose to be a one punch man level of animation? and alos how did they dare to remove this:  |
 |
| All that crying from the fans feels so good. S2 was pretty bad, but this one is even worse. Lets hope the next season is picked by another trash studio. |
 |
| Some hope but overall another incredibly frustrating experience. I'm going to finish the anime but I'm just not that excited for it any more. The best animation was the cgi waterfall. The fights were way too short. Had some interesting transitions that stood out not in a good way, and we are straight back into standing still with mouth movements for a majority of the characters. The last bit probably the most annoying part. It felt like I would have preferred if they just voiced the manga panels. Then at least the art would be nicer. |
 |
| ok. can be better continuation . still slow |
   |
| Yeah this anime was cooked when they didn't show a trailer at anime expo so tired of watching this slop now. |
