This time the list didn’t even leak, it’s the staff member himself hyping himself up. And for what? Sure, it was the first genuinely good scene of the season, but man what was he thinking gassing himself like that.

If he really thinks that’s enough to ride on, he better lock his Twitter while he still can, because whatever heat the director got he’s getting it ten times worse. Like yeah, it’s ambitious and easily the best cut of the episode. I’m pretty sure it’s that first person one near the end at the start of Garou and Orochi's fight, and okay, fine, the orange gritty tone was a nice touch.

But nah, I’ve got no hope left for this dead production.

Mod Edit: Removed baiting.

This is a better episode than the last one! The fights are still kinda weird! I kinda like the running scene of Garou! Also fire animation on Orochi is decent! Sadly it doesn’t show how did Orochi punch Garou down in the end!
The texts flying in Saitama scenes is unnecessary! Garou’s face looks kinda weird sometimes!

Hey, it actually moved for most of the episode. The style is raw, with few effects

The directing this episode was confusing. Considering the slow ass pacing until now normally the part at 14:40 would be the end of the episode, I'm surprised it wasn't. But stuff happens for the sake of happening with no transition: You can barely even tell Garou is evolving because of the lack of visual cues and we have to infer all that just from the dialogue.

I would say the first half of the episode was actually kinda good, but it fell off in the second half. Episode 6 is reportedly also finished ahead of time like this episode though it won't be anything special, because the directing lacks.

Garo awakening moment, he's in his rawest form yet, vulnerable but never give up. I almost want to thank Monster Association for grooming him to be this hot.

This episode is a rough diamond, a lot of cost-cutting techniques have been used, but at its core it's still a diamond. It needs to be polish here and there. But I'm already amazed at what JC Staff can do with only 10% of the budget compare to other big studios. Truly the master of efficiency. Truly the craziest decision to take on the most demanding job with so little reward and so many risks.

Oh, and the soundtrack in this episode is very strong, and the transition is much more smoother than previous episode that I complained. It's easily Miyazaki Makoto's best work yet.

I'm still cautious about the end result but I'm much more hopeful now. Next week can't come soon enough.

Man people here being negative for no reason. Seriously man, I frankly don’t give a fuck about commenting on episode threads, but seeing you all calling this episode worse than episode three made me do it.

It means you are either Nicholas light fans or haters. like seriously !? Are you sure you are saying this unironically ? Man learn to be satisfied.

I agree some scenes had pretty inconsistent character designs. But what do you expect from a bad production ? Demon Slayer and Jujutsu Kaisen ? And this still seemed pretty much better than last episodes.

so what its better than the last ep? It's not a fucking high bar man. They hyped up this ep but it's turn out to be no different than rest of the season just a little better, some of the frames looked like it was fan made, so plz stfu and let people let out their frustration.

Even the previous fight was better than this. They animated that better since it had fewer frames, but in a long fight like this... gosh! I just can't bear looking at this shit.
And what the fuck? They kept replaying the same ost over and over in the entire episode.

Do you know the production state ? The time and over all management of this season ? If we go by comparing it to top notch anime, then sure it doesn’t look good. But, in this case I will not be dumb enough to do that.

Firstly learn how an anime is produced. I can provide you videos to help you understand that.

Probably the most action-heavy episode so far. The animation for some of the cuts wasn't half-bad. The problem is that it just looks very boring. There were so many times where I had to pause just cause I felt bored... I was just waiting for the episode to end, but it felt like it just dragged on and on. It made me feel sleepy lol. Not something I imagined I'd say about OPM almost 10 years ago when I was watching Season 1.

If this is the best JC Staff can offer, then there's no way they can be redeemed. Tho I know it's not their fault, but the production committees. So my complaints aren't toward the studio working in inhumane conditions, but the higher-ups. But just because the studio got a shitty deal doesn't mean this product is free from criticism.

for what?
you dont need to know how to make bread to tell its not tasty.
you dont need to be filmmaker to tell movie is shit.
you dont need to be football player to see that team is not good.
understand?
no one cares about production problems, we care about result.
and we pay for results.
if you buy bread an it will be not cooked enoug, you eat it with taste? beacause you need to consider bakery problems that they dont have time to cook bread long enough?
and you know what will happen if there is more people thinking like you?
lets say my bread example.
bakary will start to sell only undercooked bread because its faster (cheaper) and people are willing to eat it and pay the same price.
simple enough to understand for you?

man that animator is going to get so much harassment for hyping up his cut so much he better just deleted his twitter real quick before it get so much worse.
on these ep side it was ok to me it move but rough and janky looking tho that garou running from orochi scene was pretty cool, still i hope the future ep are better (hope for the best but prepare for the worst)

First episode I've genuinely enjoyed from this season so far.

I liked it with the side-by-side plots of Garou and Saitama, and the fight between Garou and Lord Orochi was actually very fun to follow.

Also I've not 'certain' idea about what will happen with Garou. I could think of a few likely guesses, but it's nice to have a little less certainty, and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

Hopefully the quality can be maintained at the level of this episode at least.

Definitely the best episode of the season so far. Garou was so fucking cool the entire time. His fight with Orochi was definitely the highlight of the episode. It was a good fight. I enjoyed it a lot. Garou keeps getting up over and over again was so cool. Shows how resilient he is.

Saitama is looking for the source of all this noise, and it looks like he might stumble upon all this chaos being caused underground. Garou got defeated but I'm sure he's only passed out. Let's see what else this season has in store for us.

That is different, going with your example here.

when you know the circumstances behind the making of the bad bread, you either don’t go in the first place.

Sure I agree saying that this is bad and all, but will I harras them and say the bread is trash to the bakers who made it ? They will agree with me and be like “man I get you, even I wouldn’t eat that shit. We can do much better.” But regardless, they will pissed off at the trash talking. You know why ? Because they regardless of the result they worked hard and with just a bit more time, they would have made something even better.

So what I would do is shit talk the boss here who did nothing and sits his ass off giving orders to the bakers who made the bad bread.

I understand why people are disappointed, but regardless at least understand that the people who made this are humans. If you wanna be insufferable. Then don’t any of you dare say shit like “mappa treats their animators badly.” Stay on that side.

Well that one cut with Garou running during the Orochi fight looked good by this season's standards but other than that, yeah....nothing more to say that hasn't already been said over the past 5 weeks.
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.

Oh my goodness! Where do I even begin? The Direction is horrendous. It seems like an amateur has been given the control of a studio. The shot choices are horrid. Animation still lackluster. I don't know what they are doing but are they only animating manga panels or something? Harsh cuts happen where it goes from one thing to another and looks like we have skipped at least 30 seconds of screen time. It's like I'm watching cut clips on Facebook or something. Even the audio changes from scene to scene are so jarring. They should just scrap this and wait to raise funds to reanimate this season with a different studio or something. Cause this is an absolute travesty. I know many people who really love this anime but it doesn't have a special place in my heart or something. But still I feel like an IP as popular and incredible in it's quality such as this one deserves a much much better anime adaptation. I mean Garou is an incredible character and this is only hurting his legacy. This should genuinely be one of the biggest if not the biggest anime currently and this is nothing but bottom feeding waste. I do not know how this has allowed to happen. Someone, anyone, please put a stop to this.

Man i know the conditions aren't ideal and jc staff is not a studio for this job but goddamn is it sad for a series like OPM to be like this, the quality goes from bad to mediocre at best with this episode.
New anime fans might not remember or know but when season 1 dropped in late 2015 it was the biggest NEW anime at the time next to AOT and it stayed that way until 2019, it had the same amount of popularity that DS and JJK had when they dropped if not more, it was in the top 20 highest rated anime on the site for god's sake, i see a lot of people saying that you shouldn't compare it to shows like DS,JJK and CSM and sure with this kind of production it's true we shouldn't have more expectations but the thing is it deserves to be on the same pinnacle as those shows, seeing this in it's 10 year anniversary no less is really fucking sad man.

every week is bittersweet. mostly bitter. I really don't want to hate this show or story, I actually like it, which is why the disappointment strikes so hard. I like the character development right now but still am desperate after 100 minutes to see saitama a bit more. I think the naysayers are right here, and i respect the people updooting this because they love it but loving something means you don't want to see it hurt; right now, it's hurting.

Somehow, some way, it was EVEN worse than the previous episodes.
Like they deadass cut parts like this that make even the minion-level monsters actually threatening even to Garou.
