| I need that oppai jacket. It doesn't matter that I'm a girl. I need that xD And Saitama gets C grade, while Genos get S grade? xD Damn, I'd be so jealous if that happened to me xD But Mask-sama <3 In love already with his hotness :D |
| Episode that, as before, is able to enter into the narrative all that is needed to close the circle. Fun, addictive, evolution of characters and a lot of good action topped by a spectacular choreography. It only takes a "Lucano". Seriously, Saitama receives, although not at center stage, an additional "step" analysis in its idea of a hero, the same happens with Genos but otherwise, he will have an "upgrade" of power more than anything else. In both cases the result does not change, like the "step forward". |

| Pretty mediocre so far outside of muh animation. |

| Good episode. I liked the Hero Association testing, that was fun. I really want that Oppai sweatshirt. Fights are really where this show shines, and it was very well animated. I think my only real complaint is that Saitama needs more of a personality. He seems a little bland to me. |
| This episode had too much epicness. From the test, to the fighting, to the realization that mosquito from second episode had some fucking wicked speed. Also, digging the shirt. |
| Ad Astra Per Aspera |
| I think this was my favorite episode so far XD |

| I was so damn excited to see saitama popping his gum all over his face and genos going "SENSEI!" for some reason, it's a shame that they chose to show it from the back? since you see it from the front in the manga and it's super funny. i think i just love that scene because it so represents saitama and his attitude |

Ichigo247 said: I don't know why people are arguing when we watch animes to have fun. Considering the large population of angsty and/or edgy teenagers/young adults on MAL I think you'll find this is actually a minority view around these parts. |

That's the point i thought it was pretty obvious he was "intended" to be bland. Z4k said: It doesn't make it any better. But it does for me, its a very refreshing change from the hot blooded/cool/emo MCs. just watching his deadpan face is enough to make me chuckle. |

He is unique, that's for sure. and base on its great reception, there is nothing more to add. I remember, the original manga, it had horrible drawing, but it was so good, unique, and entertaining, that I'd finish that series, and it is a very popular manga, even if it's like a doodle from a 4 year old. That's got to tell you something. Anyway, people always has something they don't like about something, no matter what. Proven and tested, no matter how good the series is, be it a masterpiece. just gotta learn to let them by... |

Nothing to do with "thrills". Wouldn't do for us all to like the same would it? Lots of people are talking about how Owarimono is AOTS, but I happen to think it's the weakest and most drawn out of the series so far. That's just how it is. Different strokes for different folks On topic: I'm a bit gutted about it only being one cour. I'd really like to see the recent team Blizzard vs team Saitama section animated (and the bit with Genos, Sonic, Saitama and Fubuki before that). "sometimes, some..." azndavidd said: I remember the drawing was weird too, but looking back at it now, it looks very good. I mean, have you seen stuff like this floating around, https://twitter.com/myuutasu/status/660601192574140417/photo/1. That alone shows how genius this mangaka is. He can picture all of those animations in his head and draw it out. EDIT: Nvm, after a bit of research I found out that there was a web-comic of OPM, so I'm assuming you're referring to that. yup, that one. but good clip though. the sequencing from the manga was no doubt brilliant... |

| i wonder what'll be the last ep of this. |
 |
| Saitama please don't destroy all the equipment x) |
| This show grows on me after each episode. The animation is freakin' amazing. I love that these two are living together now 😂 Genos and Saitama together are great to watch 😁 |
| lol, I get the point of this now. As always said in business, "You can have the greatest product in the world but if you don't market it, no one will buy it." Saitama has zero marketing potential especially compared to Genos. Just compare their art style. |

| Now I know one of the side-weakness of Saitama...okane! (MONEY!) Another awesome excellent episode! This anime is one of the most perfectly executed action animation scenes! Did i just heard Urahara voice? and miyano mamoru voice also??!? very hilarious on the physical exam! Saitama jumped and his head made a hole on the roof of the stadium! (vertical jumping) I like Genos! He's a very cool and composed character! 6/5!!! |

| Perfect episode. The fight was eye candy and respected the drawing style of the manga. |
| -Must buy that Oppai Shirt -LMAO at Saitama for failing the essay part -Dat Orgasmic Genos action scene though -and LMAO,Money matters for Saitama |
 |
| I have a question: Saitama says he is a hero just for fun (hobby). So does he actually have a job? In the flashback he surely did. But in the recent episodes he doesn't seem to work. How does/did he pay his rent (before Genos bribed him with rent money?)? Anyone got an answer? |

How does/did he pay his rent (before Genos bribed him with rent money?)? Anyone got an answer? Even in the flashback with the crab, he didn't have a job and in fact was going to interviews so I don't think he ever worked actually (which explains why he felt like Hammerhead and him were similar in a way). As for the rent, it's gonna be touched upon later on, but there have already been some hints about it. |
| 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... |

| Dat shirt though. Ah man the action scenes are amazing, I just love it when Genos starts getting serious. A shitload of explosions. It's so nice to look at. |
 |
| Fucking Saitama man he's amazing!!! holy shit that duel was epic |
 |
Raitei said: Good fucking Lord, this show is amazing... I don't remember ever being this excited to watch each new episode. I love how the main character is so OP but no one knows about him apart from one person. 3 persons. you forgot Dr.Genus and Sonic xD |
Veldin461Nov 5, 2015 4:04 PM
| Haha, you gatta love the walking om this guy xD after "training" in the valley |
| I love the episode :) It's amazing how Saitama pretty much exceeds all of physical examination with ease. Snek is funny as hell. AS usual get's one punched XD I love how when Saitama get's serious, even without impact, it pretty much destroys its surroundings. Who the hell is this Amai Mask. Sweet Mask?! lol Not to mention, Saitama is jealous of Genos's popularity and all. And lol Saitama is against Genos leaving in his apartment, as soon as he saw that money how can you refuse XD Can't wait for the next episode!!! |
| wow. the last time i've seen a thrilling fight in anime are : Ichigo Vs grimjow, Natsu Vs zero, And Kaneki vs yamori, but FUCKKKKK THOSE FIGHT DOESN'T MEAN SHIT COMPARE TO SAITAMA VS GENOS, THE BEST FIGHT EVER ! FUCKKK I CAN'T WAIT FOR EPISODE 6. |
| I laughed to many times xD The tests at the association were hilarious, Saitama is totally underrated. Saitama vs Genos was amazing especially the end, when Saitama gets a bit serious. Madhouse made a great animation. |
| And thus Genos Waifu is born. You non manga readers will find out sooner or later but [spoiler] Genos basically ends up doing all the housework, in a pink apron[spoiler] |
 |
| Dat Saitama vs Genos fight was epic, laughed quite a bit at the heroes reaction when Saitama just destroyed everything xD |
 |
| Boy, I was looking forward to that fight, and it did not disappoint. Heavenly. |
| Saitama vs Genos was great and a display of their abilities. And the animation is simple great. |
