Even though I'm still salty about the animation, I'm really loving Garo as a character. He's carrying the show for me.

I wonder if he's even better in the manga.

W A Y better. Honestly the manga is so much more objectively better than the anime 4 episodes in so far I don't honestly see why you'd want to continue experiencing an inferior adaptation of ONE's work. The manga has some of THE most gorgeous art in manga, so fucking easily, it's worth a read just for Murata's talent and dedication as an artist alone.

Metal Bat is one of my favorite OPM characters so obviously,I enjoyed this episode despite its many flaws.

Nice to see Garou spending time with that kid again at the park.

I'll still finish this season since it's kinda enjoyable, but I will definitely check out the manga after and stick with that. Thanks for the input!

the animation on this episode is really good. i wonder why some viewers said its still disappointing. the impact and sound is on point as well at least in my opinion. sure, there is a liiiiittle bit like a few second of a slump, but overall its very good.

one thing i might want to point out how they can make the drawing even better is to actually have a martial artist to have a look on their key animation so it actually looks like a proper fight or fighting stance.

btw, the show is soooo much better without devil cyborg and his shiny armor lol
if you want good story, read novel. if you want good graphic, read manga. anime is beyond that.

I liked how they handled Metal Bat's fight with the Centipede trio and his noble delinquent was really likable in addition to how awesome his combat style looked like. I'd love to see more of him in action but his fight with Garou's set for next week.

This episode pretty much hyped me up for the things to come because it felt more like a transition to the Tournament Arc. Can't wait for the next episode~

So, first episode of the filler arc, and the pacing has slowed considerably. Pretty concerning, as I was really enjoying the show up to this point.

Gonna stick with it, since it's not like there's an alternative. The main series hasn't even been updated in over a year. Really hoping this is just an unusually slow start, and that this arc picks up and gets over with sooner rather than later.

The main series is back BTW , there is already 3 new chapters in the past 3 weeks

Episode was actually decent all around in animation for once, but man really hope they don't fumble the bag on Metal Bat vs. Garou

Another great episode 😀👌.
1. What anger that Garou does not remember who left him unconscious xD.
2. King talks about video games as real missions. LOL.
3. "Fist of carbonated water"? Saitma is a loquillo 😂.
4. "Caraagria"?, Those unique names.
5. It's funny how high are the expectations of Saitama's Unlicensed Rider 😅.
6. I wonder how strong is Whatchdog Man to be number 12 of the class S.
7. 17:54 minutes ... Marco "The Fenix", is that you?
8. Metallic bat is very strong 💪😎, but no, I find grace in your fighting style 😅. It's a shame what will happen to him in the next episode. Damn Garou!

I can not wait to see the Martial Arts tournament! That will be intense and very funny 😂. If they discover Saitama, Charanko is lost.

And saitama is still just a guy that one shots everyone. whats so hard to believe about metal bat being in S class


Its just a thing that I cant really believe. I don't really have any reasoning behind it its just when there's psychics and superpowers I find it hard to believe a guy with a bat managed to rise through the ranks. But I guess that's just because he got in before that A class 1 dude was around.


this. I thought I'm the only one.

Pretty cowardly of Garo to go after Metal Bat after he'd already sustained a lot of damage in another fight. Same going for the other guy while he was drunk.

Okay, no joke, this ep actually got a lot of amazingly animated scene. Not a masterpiece, but damn, the visual animation was great and the visual quality is quite good too. The CGI used for the centipedes are actually really nicely integrated to the overall show's art style, so it doesn't look out of place. Well, animation can change, but sound fx usually never. ANd as expected, when there's a lot of action, there're also many of that ear rape explosion sound fx. Never wear a headphone/earphone when watching OPM S2!!!

Garou is already more badass by the minutes, and oof he'll be one savage badass!

Because of Garo we're seeing a lot more focus on other heroes especially the s class ones, this time we got Metal Bat.

Definitely the best episode so far. Animation gets better and better it seems which is really nice to see.

This time we got to see a lot of Metal Bat which was pretty cool. I like that they focuse on all the other heros from episode to episode. These monsters get bigger and bigger and now there's this giant centipede thing on level dragon?

Pretty poor move of Garo going on to Metal Bat when he's fighting this big thing. Next episode finally the tourney.

Listen guys, idc about the animation quality.

This season's weak point is the plot. This episode was so boring!
Lots of filler scenes (for example that useless chatter in the roof of the hospital)

Oh, and also Garo used to watch superhero shows and cheer for the villain *ugh*
That reminds me of a high school classmate that cried when Batman beat Joker 😑

The plot is good enough in the manga, you will barely see us complaining about the manga in other websites like Reddit or Mangastream, most of our complains comes from this mediocre season 2.

If a better director and better animators handled this season then this would have been extremely good, as good as season 1 but this shit is what we got, just a generic mediocre season.

The Hero Association should've find a way to know if the heroes are really doing their job. Probably King only see that association as a retarded association.

Garou somewhat reminded me of Tailung (Kungfu Panda).

I'm not 100% sure why, but this season feels so much slower and less fun to watch. I really hope it picks up soon. I feel like the emphasis on trying to setup Garo is making the show lag.

It was nice to see Metal Bat get a chance to shine this episode though so there was that.

Hopefully we get to see some Saitama and Garou action next episode :D

Garou had a story then. However he looks got distorted. Supporting bad guys for just they try hard to be bad, lame. Probably he got a head injury.

Metal bat was cool there. Nice fighting with his bat. But he has two monsters to beat now.

Oh I thought this time they start the tournament. But alas! They didn't. I want to see Saitama fighting. This is funny that Charanko still didn't understood Saitama's power.

However at the starting when Garou woke up I saw Hindi writing on a billboard. I wonder if anyone noticed or could be my imagination.

Not quite as good as the two episodes before, but not every episode can be incredible. Still a good one and the CGI looked quite good. I wanted to see the first round of the tournament, but seems like that will start next episode.

Story is pretty heavily focused on just building up this one big villain the entire time and it's not really entertaining at all. The drop in animation quality is MASSIVE and that may be an understatement. Really goes to show just how good season one actually was.

Good to see we're still getting some monster attacks. That was definitely something missing this season compared to how many we got in S1.

Metal Bat's a pretty cool dude. Man's got no time to be dealing with Garou's monster larping.

Saitama honoring the fact that Charanko took on Garou solo was unexpectedly heartwarming.

Also, that Shadow of the Colossus lookin centipede thing has such a sick monster design
