| Obligatory 'lmao that was so bad' comments. |
| I don't think it was that bad, i liked it. The animation is not comparable obviously, but it's still decent. Always liked the simple comedy that this series has. |
 |
| The OP is really catchy and vibrant, of course, far from the awesomeness of OP 1, but it's still good, kinda reminds me of the 90s anime OPs. Although, I don't dig the ED. If they're trying to create a soothing and peaceful ED like in S1, then they did it wrong. I'm really forgiving towards downgraded quality and underwhelming or disappointing adaptation. But what in the actual fuck?! This ep did not only mess with the animation quality and visual quality in general, but even the pacing (jumps scenes abruptly), sound effects (explosions sounds that drowns the punching sound and BGM itself) and the shortcuts they took such as not animating Genos' smirk when he was supposed to be insulting Fubuki and not properly animating characters' body pose properly. (Damn I was looking forward to Fubuki's poses) And finally, the censorship when Blue Flame's arm was severed by Garo. Seriously, I'm not trying to hate on S2, it's still fun to watch but goddamn the quality just got smacked down to the floor so far. Is JC Staff even giving proper dedication to adapt S2? They are a good studio! Hopefully, the next ep or any beyond this ep will have a higher quality. Even if only a bit. I'm not hoping to see S1's quality, but the quality has got to increase nevertheless. |

 Lol it's expected the animation will be bad based on their shit schedule, although I personally found the animations is avenge rather than actually bad. |
transphinx said: i dont care if it deserves or not... it's just repetitive as fuck, everyone says basically the same trash over and over, blah blah go read the mango, its insulting, etc. Some people can of course be more varied or specific on their comments but most seem like babies crying. Or like Star Wars haters/fans Maybe i dont care a lot for the animation because i watch this as the shonen genre parody it is. I don't take the fights seriously, I LAUGH at them. I hope this thing gets dubbed in Portuguese by the same team as before. It was the best dubbing we got in years and the only one i made a point of watching it entirely. Better than the original voices. People are repeating the same shit because it's fucking true. The animation IS mediocre, S1 DOES look better, the manga IS a better experience. I don't see how you can argue against any of that. |
 |
| this kinda proves that OPM was really just a big hit because of the animation it had. people dropping this due to the downgrade in animation proves it the animation was indeed a big downgrade compared to S1, but calling it bad is ridiculous. the adaptation is spot on other than Garou's backstory which can easily be integrated(its better w/ this) in the future. |
 |
| Why did Saitama help Genos ? Was he going to lose against Sonic ? Also Fubuki has a nice body . |
| Wow, the fights look terrible |
 |
| I imagine how this season could have been such an overall success with the same animation studio... Still this is enjoyable at least, I guess it ain't useful to complain the whole season. |

AivanK said: And that girl's face when King entered the room hahahaha I wonder what he told to Saitama for deleting his save xD Hehe, this whole scene was decent. King appearing out of blue and asking Saitama for his game about which they started talking about a moment later. xD And of course Fubuki being shocked that Saitama is a good friend of Class S heroes, especially "the strongest human in the world" King. Scenes with King simply rock. They present very good comedy quality. I didn't read manga, so I was worried that King will be another cliché clumsy guy who acts so bold and powerful, but doesn't have any special abilities compared to other heroes. More or less I thought he will be someone like Mister Satan from Dragon Ball. While I like Mister Satan, I didn't want to see his OPM's version. I'm glad that King happened to be different and is so much positive as a character. :) |
He just don't wants to see Genos destroys his house lol. |
| This show has a huge epilepsy warning flashing on top of it. |

charliechuckle said: Mean score of 8.74 checks out. Omegalul. 5 out of 5, I loved it. I didn't read the manga, but you guys seem to have huge sticks up your butts. Seriously, just admit there is no way you'll ever be satisfied; or pull those sticks out already. EDIT: The only thing everyone compares this to is One Punch Man, but fails to actually compare it to anything relevant. JoJo, one of the top action animes has 10x more stills than One Punch man... You guys are just mentally retarded enough to buy into the biased hype or hate. Just read your own comments, and prove to us that you are honest by NOT WATCHING THE REST OF THIS ANIME. Otherwise, go fuck off with your bullshit hypocrite attitudes. |
| I just..... cant feel this episode because everything has fast pace. Animation is mostly slides, music is terrible and why Saitama voice doesn't change? 2/5 Art was okay and Garou's voice is good (the best thing in this episode). |

| Well the animation didn't amaze me. I just cant help but keep comparing to season 1 and I just don't feel anything really. Its nice to finally see more of Fubuki but it just looks odd. Particularly Saitama's head looks weird and when he had the cartoonish face one eye was higher than the other which also looked odd. It was an ok episode I hope they learn more as the series goes on and improve the animation. If I was them I'd pour a lot into this since its so popular. |
| Yuritopia FTW!!!!!!!!! BANZAI TO YURI !!!!!!!!!!!! |
This picture and geno's arms pretty much show what's wrong with the anime Saying ''this looks bad'' isn't enough, you need to explain why it looks bad. First of all, you could say it even looks better! if looking through a artist's perspective.. Why? well this anime instead of like the previous season that colored shots then put shadows over it with few exceptions sometimes like saitama's gloves, genos arms, etc does the extra ''Ufotable'' shading trying to make the characters and outfit more charming looking by adding darker colors over them and using blending, example is skins have a red tone now around some parts to be more ''realistic. Is this good? For Ufotable yes, for this anime no, this studio doesn't know how to do that, they are trying to be Ufotable but they fail badly with their shading and you get the monstruosity that is Geno's arms, ugly to look at, and not only that but it's what is eating the budget. A good director like previous one would see good ways to animate with a low budget and perfectly think of how every scene is gonna work to the best impact, that's Mad House and the previous director, here you got a guy that said: Let's do a big animated shot of fubuki's breasts bouncing that eats way too much screentime and budget because that's what matters in anime not clever cool fight scenes and then we get this and the battle scene is often just screencuts to not show proper animation, there is some good animated shots but barely few and you feel sometimes like you're watching a kid's made fight scene where it skips the action to the result. But of course you can say i'm wrong, because you can tell me the director is so shitty they got nothing better to do with the budget other than fanservice and ufotable shading. |
| They have upped the quality, I am pleased |
| It was fun to see Fubuki surprised with all the stuff around Saitama. I wish he was a bit more derpy, like in 1st season - seems too serious now, but other than that I love it. |
and even with this focus they've got it all wrong because boobs don't move this way water balloons sure but not boobs... and I never once thought she had water balloons under there |
stand said: and even with this focus they've got it all wrong because boobs don't move this way water balloons sure but not boobs... and I never once thought she had water balloons under there Maybe all the air around her is making her boobs jiggle like that, that's not normal air BTW, that's supernatural air that was created by her and when she does it her body tits gravity works differently and makes those deliciously milk-packet titties bounce like that. In Fubuki's behalf, that's my excuse, now if you excuse me, my planet needs me. *whoosh* |

Pretty boring reasons, then. Liking a character purely because 'she's hot' is sad. Raizel said: It was actually much better than the previous episode Fubuki is weak ugh, I was fairly disappointed. She's easily A-rank in power (she is capable of putting up a good fight against Demon monsters too), she just seems weak because she's always hangs around Saitama, S-ranks and powerful monsters. How is liking a character because they're attractive sad? |

A lot of people are quite superficial, but there is also a decently large crowd of the Fubuki fans who are genuinely interested in her character, and her development. Fubuki could be top 5 or at least top 10 of a class, she doesn't move up because of her sister. |
xShinigami3125 said: It got worse.... much worse, the fight is an abomination, just a bunch of still images. Some times they didn't even bother to do lip flaps, but instead increased the size of fubukis breasts and made them jiggle, I mean wtf is this shit. The shading is still terrible, and they couldn't even make the characters looks alright, or make their moves look half decent. Sadly yes you nailed it, not one fight scene will get animated and the rest will be garbage panning still shots. Couldn’t be more disappointed if Disney bought it and made a live action adaption. |
| Honestly, the animation wasn't the standout thing for me this episode. It wasn't great, of course. There were about two seconds of OK-looking action, during the Sonic vs. Genos fight. It's the highlight of the episode, when it wouldn't even stand out as impressive in season 1. But honestly? It's nothing special even if we don't compare it to season 1 - even the shots we're impressed by are heavily dependent on still images and camera motion to hold up. But, I'll admit, there was some animation in this episode that was at least reminiscent of season 1. No, the real killer is the direction. Holy god, the direction. Shaky cam. Panning, or even just rotating a still image. Constantly - constantly - cutting away from the actual impact in favour of the result. And worst of all, the pacing is being butchered. Not so much the large-scale stuff, but more the fact that none of the jokes or action sequences have any time to breathe. It's present throughout, but especially noticeable when Sonic passes out, and also when Saitama is talking with King near the end - and of course the way it just abruptly cuts to the ED with no warning, so held shot, just as if it were continuing the scene. Really disappointing. We've seen what it can look like if love and care went into it, and I was genuinely groaning out loud watching what they've done to it. I would, no fooling, have preferred not to have a season 2 at all over this. At least then it could have been done right some time in the future - now, who'll touch it? Who will give this show the treatment it deserves all the way through? Because they won't be remaking this season, I'll tell you that right now. |
| Did anyone noticed the professor layton reference? ~ 8:55 |
| I'm honestly more interested in the story. My only problem is the direction (it feels dull) but I can get used to it. Good episode |

I was trying to recall what 'development' you're referring to, but then I remembered some of her later interactions with Tatsumaki (I've read the manga and webcomic). Get off your high horse bud. People can like a character for whatever reason they want. |

| God again with these fucking crybabies spamming. We get it, it's not as good as season 1, feel free to fuck off back to the manga and let the actual fans enjoy it. Bet none of these whiners even read the webcomic. |

Yep. So true which is also the only reason mob pycho season 2 has a high score on Mal. It's also the case with almost every anime. People don't really care about plot/script/characters/wordlbuilding/themes of a show unless the animation looks dated. |
"Doubting everything that you take on... That is very important. Open your own eyes, clear out your ears, and look and listen to the world... And think using your own brain. After you've doubted everything, there is a possibility of something real to believe in. To believe in something, doubt everything." |
