Boring first 15 minutes, the fight was cool to look at but my expression throughout this episode never change. Starting to wonder if giving it 6 is too high.

The OST in the first half and the fukin' epic fight in second was such love :'D

Funny how the trait the two wants most is in their other selves.
Nice to see Miyano again XD

And I want that oppai hoodie :D

Awesome animation! Exhilarating fight.

Saitama getting excited he got S rank but actually C rank lol.

Genos allowed to stay only because he pays rent!! That last punch though.


Fake people have an image to maintain. Real people just don’t care.

Probably someone already said this...however...i'm i wrong or during the entire fight saitama keep the "silly" face? He used his "serious punch" face only when genos asked him to fight with all he has got...i mean, he fight that way without using full power...
Nothing else to say.
Amazing episode as always XD

I was actually surprised to see how little of the episode was actually devoted to the hero exam. But it was likely that way in the manga as well, so I won't criticize the anime for that. But I thought it was a nice twist to see the rankings for Saitama and Genos be different from what people would have expected.

What this episode really seemed to focus on was the politics going on in the Hero Association. This was really made clear between Snek and Amai Mask and their interactions with Saitama and Genos, respectively.

But now Saitama and Genos are both officially part of the Hero Association, and it'll be interesting to see what happens to them and finding out what kind of criminals they find themselves up against.

Holy fuck, that jaw-dropping, gorgeously animated fight scene! Madhouse taking full advance of Genos' design & skills, which enables for these awesome fights.

And the world building we got was great and much-welcomed! One Punch Man firing shots at the test systems in some institutions now, with the Hero Association & all.

Last but not least, one final trolling moment when Saitama & Genos were ominously going their separate paths only to have Genos get his stuff to live with Saitama. Well played!

This episode is really good! The highlight of this episode is Arifumi Imai's cuts, Genos vs Saitama use amazing debris effects and good slow motion.

And he made that animation using Adobe Flash
https://twitter.com/kubo_chika/status/661067375245070336

Really amazing animator!

You can find his works in this video :



If you've watched Shingeki no Kyojin OAD, he did that scene where Levi went rampage and butchered the titan who killed his comrade.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Z9VPT3JOpvA?t=240

One of the best animator in Shingeki no Kyojin.

You can find his works on Rolling Girls too.



Though I should note that he's not from MADHOUSE.
And this episode mainly outsourced to MADHOUSE's subsidiary studio in Korea, DR MOVIE.

Arifumi Imai, Imamura Taiki, and Hidehiko Sawada only did the "Saitama vs Genos" part.

I don't visit the Forum of an Anime i don't like just to mention that i don't.. and yes you (and everyone else) can have your own Opinion.. but like i said rating some stupid Hentais with a 10 and other actually good Shows with a 5 is just.. well.

The Ratings should at least somehow make sense

Dayum, the fight is so much better in anime form. Props to dem animators for their hard work. That oppai shirt is too good. And Genos's upgrades are just pure badass. Lol of course he has to bribe Saitama with rent money just to live with him.

Are you being serious? I can say anything I want, If what I said hurt you, so be it. This isn't the one punch man circlejerk thread you know. Also my rating for hentai is different from anime. Hentai is basically porn for crying out load! How do you want me to rate my hentai? For how develop the characters are? Or maybe how original the story is? Lol

For a guy that has been on mal for 5 years now, you would've think something as trivial as this would not bother you to this extend. Surely this isn't the first negative comment you've seen in a anime discussion forum?

why was i thinking that the sweet mask guy was blond?

nice visuals theres a lot of detail in everything Genos does I think that makes him seem more emotional here than in the manga
his eyes glow and power off and stuff, I like it

Oi oi.... There's nothing wrong with giving a hentai 10/10. Especially if you got multiple uses out of it. If I actually added all the H-manga I've collected my mean manga score would bounce up to 10 straight away.

Anyways, some of you guys are really getting your knickers in a twist over nothing. I love this series but those guy have just as much right to discuss what they don't like about it.

Every single episode so far has been living up to my expectations, so I cannot praise Madhouse enough for their work!
Saitama's physical exam made me laugh. Dude destroyed EVERYTHING. Also, I love how he maintains an oval-shaped head while his body is buff as hell.

And I just love it when Saitama splits the heaven and the land with the thrust of his punch. It's great. He also whipped Genos' bangs up into a cute hairstyle lol.

Genos and Saitama are such a great duo! I love how different they are, and their interactions with each other are always amusing. ^^

Seems like every episode discussion follows this pattern:
1. Person A states they didn't find the episode enjoyable and implies the series is overrated
2. Person B criticises A's general taste
3. Person C also criticises A's opinion
4. Person A is annoyed at the fact of not being able to express himself/herself without being attacked and so complains about the fanbase
5. Person D agrees with A and starts whining about OPM fans wanting a circle jerk instead of a discussion
6. Person B and C state giving a negative opinion in the forum and then not expecting to be criticised is silly
7. More redundant discussion about who's worse
8. After ages a mod finally cleans this mess up
9. A week later, rinse and repeat
5 main aspects I base my ratings on:
1. Did DramaEnthusiast make a thread about it?
2. Is it better than Breaking Bad?
3. Did MellowJello recommend the shit out of it?
4. Has it caused a (very entertaining) shitstorm on MAL?
5. Is it actually good?

Scratch the fifth point, it's not very relevant...

When all your criticism is about your subjective enjoyment it doesn't say much.
And if you think a deep plot is needed for a great series then your stupid.
"character driven story"


in M-A, no title can make everyone satisfied, even well written titles like Monster, Vinland Saga,... So yeah, when those critics only show their subjective enjoyment to criticize, just ignore for the sake of your time :))

The fight was so well animated. I have not seen such a good fight scene in anime in a very long time. The last time I got wowed was Naruto vs pain and that was years ago.
Saitama ripped as hell during the physical test. His facial expression when he realised he got a C xD

Saitama doesn't give a fuc** about his enemies :D
He literally "destroyed" the test field hahahaha
That shirt ahahah "oppai",would love to have one of those.
Saitama fight vs Genos was epic as all other fights,he don't want to take a serious fight with him because he likes him.

I was thinking that if Genos is that badass now I wonder how much more of a match he'll be for Saitama after he gets those upgrades mentioned in an earlier episode. But from reading the comments apparently he already got them and I must have missed that, good excuse to re-watch.

I like how even though Saitama is OP we still have Genos who's a complete badass but can still lose and is now training to become stronger. Clearly the true MC folks ;)

It is still A's fault. Knowing the fact that this OPM is not enjoyable since episode 1 and yet they still post these shits at every single episode discussion thread.
A could have just fuck off instead of flamebaiting, A should have get banned instead of B and C being blamed "not expecting to be criticized".

"Critisizing" =/= "Calling something overrated"

Critisizing means directly evaluating the fictional work, while "calling something overrated" merely means that that person views others' opinions as worthless. It's also known as "ad-hominem", just that this version of it is much more vague and not directed at specific individuals, but at groups of people instead.
