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".

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


This is too accurate.

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.

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

I have a feeling the makers were going for the story with extremely OP main character as a joke where every side character has amazing fight scenes and Saitama just shows up and spoils the fun with one punch.
If you try overanalysing it you could say they're going for a story where side characters have deeper character than the main, who's the most bland person in the story.
I mean he literally did slightly difficult gym workouts and became the strongest ever.

But that might not suit your taste and that's fine, really.
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.

thumbs up to this....

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...

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.

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).

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!!!

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?

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...

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!!!
