You mean the tournament arc? that's not filler, it's not in the webcomic but it's in the manga and it expands the story. The tournament arc is actually pretty good, I don't know why some people didn't like it but I did. Forgive me if I disagree, because that set-up was really forced. |
| Honestly not as bad as I expected or as everyone anticipated it to be. This might actually come out as an ok anime because there's still the quirky one punch man dialogue to it. |

| I hope they will animate the Garou motive tho.. why he want to be monster.. he need his flasback first.... because that is important... |
 |
| People whining about animations and whatnot, but the story itself was quite funny. The conclusion was hilarious. I loved how Saitama gave 0 interest in the villain who beat up loads of heroes before that. |
 |
| Imagine the whiners complaining about animation in every damn episode yet they still keep on watching. Just shows they take cartoons too seriously. |

| I don't really understand what you guys whine about when you say like the quality has dropped and s**t like that. Who the heck cares. This is a great anime from a great manga which I've read for a long time and I've been waiting for a season 2 like this and I'm no dissappointed. I love this. Though I think Saitamas voice has changed a bit but that's not the end of the world. If you don't like it, don't watch it. Don't discuss unneccessary things like that each episode. I'm out. |

| Garou's fight was actually decent-looking, still not first season level, but I enjoyed it :3 He's quite an intriguing character as well, I already liked him, although I might be biased a bit, since he's voiced by my favourite seiyuu <3 That last punch was hilarious, even when you saw it coming miles away! |

And somehow you guys manage to ignore the string of garbage productions J.C Staff has been putting out lately. I still have PTSD from the Toaru Majutsu no Index III and UQ Holder!'s quality (And it's abomination). Honestly, you guys are really no different than those "crybabies" that you guys referring.

| Garou got Low-Diffed!!! |
| If I there's one thing I can point out, I can tell that the quality's a lot better in this episode than both of the previous episodes so far. The multitude of fights Garou had with the Tank Tops, Mumen Rider, Golden Ball, and Spring Mustache looked great from both sides so I hope that they at least retain this quality and go beyond this for the other episodes because of the really big scale of the upcoming enemies. Fubuki looked so moe ♥ I would definitely love to have the book that ugly-ass kid was reading! It's also hilarious that Garou's whole encounter with the Caped Baldy was actually a complete misunderstanding that ended with him getting his ass whooped so bad after his attack didn't work at all. Saitama had some hope gaining hair but he chose not to take it. For someone who goes wig shopping from time to time, it's kind of a surprise that he refuses to take the easy way out of his baldness. Maybe a banana would help him out~ |

NoneNone said: You might be right about ending with 84. But I do think parts of 85 will be adapted in this season, just to give this season an epilogue and a better closure. And if that's the cases Chapter 83 and 84 might be for episode 12 instead, which is pretty doable.GoldenDevilGamer said: Idk, the last couple of chapters barely have any dialogue. I don't see them adapting anything less without dragging it out. Like, Punch 84 is 140 pages long, yet it's content feels short enough to only take 12-15 mins. Again, just my fallible opinion, could be 100% wrong, I don't think they'd drag out the action, for Episode 11, there's Garou talking with Tareo, Gatling talking with Garou, Garou's interal monologue, Genos talking about Saitama, the monsters talking to Garou. Then for Episode 12 there's Garou's whole internal monologue and backstory, the well as Phoenix Man talking to Garou about the world's strongest heroes, then the HA talking about King and Blast. I think my main problem with Chapter 85 actually isn't that it's that bad for Season 2's ending... but that it's necessary for Season 3's premiere to regroup the whole cast. Just having Garou, Blizzard, and Saitama as the start of Season 3 really doesn't show the rest of the main cast: Bang, Genos, King, and Tornado (sorta less prominent, but still, 1st major female character). |

| Thank God, this was much better XD loved the end sklfjlskdjfsj |
| welll saitama and gyro met...but both didn't know the real one...everyone is complaining about the animation style and here I am just to enjoy a decent show |
 |
| I enter the thread after watching 3 eps and all I see is complaining. Damn, how can people be so toxic? We already know this isn't OPM S1, we already knew it's not the same studio or/and budget from over a year already. The animation isn't bad by any means. It's just ok. The story is pretty amazing since it's an adaptation of One Punch Man after all. I wish more people would get on the discussion of the content of the episode instead of leaving hate comments about the animation thread after thread. Guys, the animation is not gonna change for more complaining you do. You all look like kids making a tantrum. |

| Compared to the first 2 episodes, this one seemed a lot better. Liked it a lot. Ending the episode with that scene was just perfect. |
| Nooooooo not Mumen Rider lol Saitama at the end that was precious |
If you are going to disagree with me, don't bother talking to me. I will seriously hurt you! |
| Pretty cool episode this Garou guy is a badass |
| The production quality this episode is definitely better, but the plot seems to really want to take itself seriously which is simply not what OPM set itself up for. If this is how far JC Staff got before the anime started airing and they continue adapting the story like this, then I can see why so many people have continued to hold this season in contempt. |
| Reflecting a bit more on the season's story, I could say that I have an issue with the overarching plot that's been established for this season at this point. They spend a whole episode attempting to develop Garou (who is still little more than an "evil for evil's sake" villain) and even give him an ability that could clearly counter Saitama's strength, except Saitama is so much stronger than him that it doesn't matter because he can beat him without even trying. Yes I know this is Zero One Punch Man, but the story seems to have forgotten that. There's no clever joke here, there's no parody or satire towards a common superhero trope, it's just OP Man being OP & unrecognized as we've seen for the entire series. I was hoping that a different angle would be taken this time around (I was expecting Garou to have some control over monsters, to play on the "superhero can't be everywhere at once" setup for instance) but instead we're getting a shoehorned tournament arc because Saitama being OP for its own sake never gets old. Hopefully I'm wrong and they actually have something to poke fun at instead of treating the base premise of the show like some unique brand. |
shane_nichols said: Yes but the thing is that it's that type of outro that makes you cry even more cus the anime endedAlex_TheForest said: Does it really matter? It's just an ending that most people skip overThe outro doesn't fit the anime tbh.Ok they kept the hype with the intro at least,but the outro doesn't fit this kind of action anime. |
Come on man,where is that Noragami season 3 masterpiece.We want it, Bones! |
| Because of Garo we're seeing a lot more focus on other heroes especially the s class ones, this time we got Metal Bat. |
 |
| I wanted to comment on how bad the visual quality is and how obnoxious the earrape explosion sound fx are, but Garou is just oh awesome... I have always loved Garou in the Web Comic and Manga, but just hearing his VA talk and move is all the better. But I especially love his badass OST! He's the absolute best when it comes to savage badassery in OPM imo! Seeing this beatdown animated is really nice, even if the animation is meh and the visual quality is horrible, if Garou's here, I'd be happy to witness it! Garou did a thumbs down instead of flipping off Golden Ball with a middle finger... That was quite disappointing... That aside, Garou smooch fisting that investor guy always got e XD LMAO, Garou got chopped by Saitama! |

Lol |
todd2580 said: what's wrong about lmao ? The whole "OPM is not popular in Japan" thing and everything he said about J.C Staff. |
todd2580 said: but maybe he means it's more popular in the west Perhaps. But from what I seen, he is saying that OPM is only popular in west while in Japan it's just mediocre at best, which not only it's ignorance but it's also sounds like if he was finding an excuses to said that OPM2's production quality is actually great. todd2580 said: also J.C STAFF won't even get money from this season like madhouse didn't but they are at least trying I finds J.C put much more effort on Toaru Majutsu no Index III than they have in OPM2. |
| Nah, i want more scene of saitama. |
| >Saitama taking out Garou like it's nothing lmao |
 |
| the ending was legit hilarious lol XD |
| Wew that Garo-Saitama encounter is a good sign of things to come, for sure! |
| I'm Bruneian and I like anime. And Manchester United. And fat cats. |
| The heros got pretty rekt. Even Tank Top Master a an S-Class wasn't able to stop Garo, even if the beginning of this fight looked way in favor for Tank Top. Nothing really changed for Mumen Rider. Like against the Deep Seas King again here against Garou completely destroyed. So Saitama now is interested in martial arts? The moment when he looked at the ticket of Charanko I knew he wanted to participate. Garo doesn't really care against which heros he fights. He got injured against Golden Ball, but even that couldn't stop him. Coincidentally Garo meets Saitama thinks he's after him and goes down in one hit. That was very funny :D And now presenting Charankotama. Can't wait to see this. |
 |
| Jeez, Saitama is scary sometimes, when he was about to chop Garou, I was fearing for his life lol. Fucking Mumen Rider... why hasn't anyone killed his ass yet. |
 |
| Eh, I thought Garou target was only hero but he also targeted the executive from hero association. He's not a man of his word. Saitama punished him, so all is good. |
| He who smiles in a crisis has found someone to blame. |
| Garo's fighting scenes were amazing Nice to have Saitama as a friend, always getting the bananas Never stand between a man and his will to buy a wig |
