cruzateu said: Z4k said: Yeah but OPM isn't an average 13 episode series since it's getting short OVA/specials in each volume of the BDs iirc and another extra OVA in december. The series is clearly being backed up by big companies. Are you saying that because they have big companies behind them they have a big budget? Or not? If it is the former: lel nice info out of your ass/10 >what is a production committee Can you piss off and be annoying somewhere else? |
| I wonder if i'm the only one that was laughing when Mumen Rider gave his speech & was fighting? I just can't take it seriously.. That little dweeb among those people annoyed me so much; and the people too - mindless, fickle idiots. I liked the ending with Saitama and the Rider; where he thanked him, that was sweet :) |

Well aren't you special snowflake contrarian? go back to /a/ and go watch Gochuumon or whateverOne Joke Man is so predictable, holy shit. At least they added forced melodrama this episode, I guess that's something. Forced melodrama? Dude you rated AnoHana a 10, literally the most forced melodramatic garbage ever. You gotta try harder than that next time Ignore them; most of them don't even realize they're being complete hypocrites just by jumping on the hate bandwagon. |

I liked the ending with Saitama and the Rider; where he thanked him, that was sweet :) I actually chuckled too, the way the sea king reacted was too funny not to chuckle. It was more touching in the manga when I couldn't listen to the sea king talk or the sounds that were made. |

| I think this particular situation in this episode is very similar to our situation now. Some people are like this dude. They will never stop complaining and nitpicking everything. |

Paul said: ouriel said: So, this will end with the prophecy arc eh? Seems like a good way too too. Yeah, probably for the best. 'Twas the best arc if I'm not lying myself. Let's hope we won't have to wait for two years like SnK for another season, if there's one. :D |

Seriously for all the haters, just like Cozatto said you're a  martelor said: Saitama is more suited to be the "Hero of the Heroes" than to be the" Hero of the People" because only heroes know right how heroic he is. really, awesome episode! idk about animation i think it was good 5/5 |

They clearly have a lot of faith in this series which explains all the bonus with the BD/DVDs. |

They clearly have a lot of faith in this series. I don't think there's really a need to have this argument. The animators stated, based on their opinion, that the budget is "average" and that they're personally doing their best to go above and beyond. What's considered high budget to you or anyone else is irrelevant, if the ones getting paid think it's "average". |

Lollo36 said: - Saitama punches away even the rain in a gigantic radius - people believe in a random idiot who says that Saitama must be weak, even though they saw everything Flawless logic To me if felt like they were just in disbelief that a little bald guy appears and effortlessly disembowels this monster that has been destroying all the heroes, even an S rank one that they personally saw was insanely powerful (Genos). Add to that the fact that Saitama is largely unknown by the public, and I would be confused about what the hell I just saw myself. It seems they don't start to wholeheartedly doubt him until he starts saying he only won because the monster was weakened and his intent is to steal everyone's credit. Also why are the threads both here and on /a/ incredibly shitty and barely seem to actually discuss the series. I find the polarizing reactions and hatred for such a simple comedy series to be bizarre to say the least. Not that I think everyone has to like it but it's odd how people are losing their shit over the popularity it has gained. |
eplipswich said: Z4k said: Do elaborate how much that "average budget" is. If you're interested about what average budget means, why don't you just ask kubo chika himself on Twitter? Just so you know, he can understand English. Yeah sure like he's going to tell me the things decided by the production committee. /s |
Z4k said: Are people STILL under the naive assumption that good animation = big budget?You must be delusional as hell if you think a company like Shueisha, TV Tokyo, Bandai visuals or Lantis would give this an average budget considering how popular this series was even without an adaptation. They clearly have a lot of faith in this series. The animation director himself stated that the series doesn't have a huge budget and that it is in fact just average, and the sakuga comes from talented freelance animators who expressed interest in the project and who are trying their best and working hard to ensure it looks and flows great. There's nothing more to it. Also, people really think the animation in this episode was bad? Seriously? That scene in particular that you're all bitching about with Genos was the most impressive piece of animation in the whole episode. What did you want, for them to use a shitty static CG background with a ton of speed lines and shaky cam? Not enough after effects and bloom and pretty colors for you? It was fluid, it was dynamic, it's stylized, it's actual animation. Just because it looks different doesn't mean it's bad. Obviously with all these different freelance animators things will look a bit different at times. I bet you're the same people who think Tatami Galaxy or Ping Pong had awful animation. |

| Right in the feels ;-; I thought Mumen Rider was the kind of character who only appears in funny scenes and has no relevance to the plot at all. |

Veldin461 said: ZetaZaku said: Because he's like Kirito. He basically became a "beater" this episode lol. Yeah it was a pretty bad episode. The whole fish thing should have been one episode, instead of dragging it for two episodes and being completely predictable. At this point, the same repeated joke became a bit stale. Hu... what joke? Saitama one punching the enemy? I guess that stopped being a joke long ago. I love Saitama's one punches cause they are awesome and hype, not to make me laugh =/ Isn't OPM being a parody saving this show from being bad? The fact that everyone is useless and Saitama one punches every enemy after 50min build up would be terrible otherwise. It wasn't a problem in the first half, since it was just a joke. But now every episode you'll see a big bad enemy that trashes everyone, and Saitama one punches him. We already saw that joke 10 times, it's not funny nor interesting anymore. This episode just had me roll my eyes when Saitama one shoted the fish (it was predictable anyway). |

"it was predictable", like any other action series out there, there's an MC, a Villain and in the end the MC will always win. Tell me what's the difference besides OPM just doing it faster and without lame asspulls and power ups? You will not see Saitama 1HKO the main villains anymore from now on but if you are expecting a challenge for him, you might as well just drop the show. For me that's part of the appeal of the show but I understand if it is not for everyone's taste |
| Saitama 4 president Absolutely loved the episode. Pacing, execution and dialogue was great. Saitama was the perfect person to do that speech. |

And that's how you could describe every battle in OPM if you took them seriously. But it's a joke. It's a comedy. It's about a guy who become the strongest person by doing pushups. |
"Your sight, my delight. Will you marry me?" |
| Btw, I don't know how people were moved by the Mumen Rider speech. I don't think it was intended by the producers to be moving because it was pretty cliche and it seemed pretty rushed. I feel like it was more of a build-up to Saitama's speech which was what got me. |

What hits in Mumen RIder's speech is that he is just your average joe trying his best, in other shounen anime, it's generally the protagonist making these speech and powering "NAKAMA" POWER |
ZetaZaku said: Isn't OPM being a parody saving this show from being bad? The fact that everyone is useless . LOL, that's false |
danieltortoisee said: Why the fuck does Saitama deliberately fuck up any chance of taking any credit he may get? Of all things in this show, that makes the least sense by a country mile. It's awful and just feels so forced and a lame device for comedy. Not impressed at all. Mumen Rider is pretty cool though. Fair play to him. Also, that guy in the green shirt was totally right about the ineptitude of most of the heroes and how pointless and irrelevant the rankings are. To give credit to the other heroes and preserve the reputation of heroes. Saitama was the perfect character for that scene. He's pretty much selfless. I mean he's been doing hero work for 2 years while receiving no credit or acclaim. Such benefits are just 'bonuses' for him. |
| This one was probably the best episode of 2015. animation was just completely amazing. I'm still stunned |
| Genos did pretty good, as always, but this time the monster was really too strong, didn't expect him to be that strong. Genos got his ass kicked very bad, never seen him like in this ep. License-less Rider did a great speech, but he can't do anything to them xD This Saitama <3 he is really the best, he is so humble, he said that the monster got beaten by the others and he just stole the credit of beating him, he did that because people would start to criticize the other heroes etc... like that guy with a green shirt, what a dic** . So bad that we have so much "people" like him.. Saitama <3 At least there is one more hero that know the real power of Saitama. |
"There is no such thing as an Anime elitist. You watch Anime, therefore, you are trash by society's standards." |
| Another good episode. Now that I think about it, it was kinda nice how the tone was serious when the other heroes faced off against the Deep Sea King, but then lightens up when Saitama arrives. I liked how determined Mumen Rider was despite the odds being completely against him. |
MCAL said: QFT?You know, I'm fairly certain if one were to ask people who specialize in the intricacies of Japanese animation if the Genos/Sea King fight was good animation wise, they would say yes. No. Q BECAUSE it IS the T. |
| Always remember that anime is a niche medium in Japan. Manga sells way better |

| Fucking hell, i'm not sure why I never noticed that License-less Rider is kind of really adorable. |
| Sweet episode... :) That annoying sh*t-stirrer.... I hope Genos incinerate him. >:D |
 |
| I've been wondering if Mumen Rider really has the power suitable for top C-Class Hero, he looks like normal cyclist, I wanna see him fighting against low-level monster. Saitama should just not said anything and leave instead of acting like a Kirito after beating The Sea King, it was a bit painful to watch. |
