| Zombieman is pretty underrated imo, I mean the reason partly could be due to the fact that he gets pretty less screentime compared to other S class heroes, but yeah, watching this again just to see the lollipop stuff makes me think it's better that we see less of him, otherwise, his entire reputation is getting murdered when he's coming on screen lol. Somehow the series is finding different ways to set its own standards.. can't even laugh. Thought the episodes now won't look the absolute worst, because we kind of adjusted. But nah, then something like this comes, and that adjustment goes out of the window. Anyway, this stuff is too slow as well. The problem isn’t only the fact that it’d take so much time, but yeah, since we have so many heroes, we’ll get multiple POVs every other episode. Will be like this for a while from here on. That aside, the only sweet part about Amai mask is his name I guess, as yeah, dude literally goes berserk when he breathes the same air as a monster lol. Not that anybody knows. Also, the only interesting bit this entire episode, honestly. Sheesh, last two episodes now, hope we can go back to how it was an episode ago and have better looking stuff. |

I haven't even watched the episode yet, but lmao, they removed Zombie Man's cool as fuck cigarette for... THIS!!! A lollipop, a fucking LOLLIPOP! This is probably the most disrespectful censorship that I have seen for a character. Bravo, now I have even more reason to rate this shit a 2/10 by the end of it. |

| Wow....what a tragic shiet! |
| "The future is always blank. Only your willpower can leave footsteps there." "Ruling over death means ruling over life. Death is the climax of life. To have the best death, you must honor life." |
| One Frame Man strikes again. Sad the Zombieman fight wasn't as good as Flashy Flash's fight. It could've been cool. But each scene after that just kept getting more and more worse. It's kind of impressive in a way. Also, I really don't understand why they replaced Zombieman's cigarette with a fucking lollipop. I thought this series was rated for 17 and above? If it's not then why? Why isn't this rated 17 and above? What's with this weird censorship anyway? It's not like smoking doesn't appear in any other anime. It would've been better if they just cut that scene entirely or just not shown him smoking or doing anything. Anyway, Amai Mask is a monster? Ok. Makes sense why he seemingly killed those brainwashed humans. Reminds me of those old theories that said Saitama was a monster. I don't understand why the OP was placed at the end tho? I always skipped the OP so Idk if there's anything different. |
| It's not quite as bad as episode 7, but it's still terrible, arguably the second-worst episode. The only saving grace is, yet again, the inclusion of a retconned scene (Amai Mask killing the mercenaries), even if it was just a slideshow. Other than that, maybe the OST usage wasn't too bad, but the rest is complete dogwater. 4/10 at best. |

| @xZabuzax Personally I think it's hilarious; it sort of implies that Child Emperor handed one out to each S rank hero who wanted one. Sure, censorship is bad and all, but with how much of a trainwreck this season was overall it really is a minor complaint. |

| @xZabuzax This is dumb This kind of censorship doesn't harm at all ... complain about art, animation, sound tracks, and everything else but censorship is enforced by law and usually gets removed when the BR is released |

| @FMmatronJoJo used to have an entire black line that covered the cigarette and half of JoJo’s face... I am glad it is just a lollipop |
| What in the hell was this episode ??????????????? BANDAI NAMCO F*CKERS |
| After two decent episodes, we're back to our usual selves. But since I had already anticipated it, it's not a surprise. Zombieman's fight in the manga was my favorite, and I'm not gonna say anything, but I'm disappointed. Sadly, nothing can be done to save this season anymore. Do-S was once again the hottest part of the episode. But even she can't save it anymore. Amai Mask is ruthless as expected. And, is he not a human? Interesting. Atomic Samurai's cool as well, and his disciples struggled but were able to come out victorious in the end. |

| The last two episodes were actually pretty ok all things considered but it seems like we are back to scheduled ass this week. The animation and art direction was so low budget, characters looked so ugly and the pacing was janky and awkward... Oh and Zombie man getting a LOLLIPOP??? Whenever you think they can't drop a worse episode, next week rolls around and you wonder how this season was ever greenlit. Truly embarrassing. |
| Our free trial of passable animation really expired after a grand total of two (or more like one and a half) eps, RIP Atomic Samurai cutting through all that yapping to style on the robot dude was pretty sick though. |
| The neon filters are back. Exactly what everyone wanted |

Was playing the OP at the end intentional or was it a mistake? Honestly I can't tell anymore.
| @Mainnus lmao..I was thinking the same 🤣🤣 |
| That was literally one of the worst anime episodes I've ever seen in my life. They couldn't even make up their minds for which canonicity to even adapt ffs. |
 |
| Back to the usual ass after back to back decent episodes lol. |
| People on MAL refuse to actually enjoy watching anime. Your taste in anime isn't a personality trait. Take me back to the days before MAL became infested with Twitter's favorite buzzwords. |
| more One Punch man without One Punch man. some very rough, clunky animation. |
| worst episode of all time |
| if JC could only consistently make these episodes JUST a tiny bit above average all the time? it would be, 'ah well! at least it doesn't suck entirely!' but. no. the juxtaposition of 'damn that was great!' sandwiched in-between moments... within a few seconds of screen time! that totally blow chunks? no. just. no. not good enough. |
just an ol school American otaku enjoyin the life. don't sass me kiddies, i've been otaku probably since before you were born. leave me in peace and i won't bother you either.  |
| lol this was funny and very bad ofc. |

| HAHAHAHA man this shit is so ass. Despite everything that sucks the sound direction, sound design or whatever it's called is so horrible. The fights have an awful lack of impact, everything is so bad. I'm done with my weekly self-punishment, see you all next week. |
