| That polished Genos tho... Mostly a build up episode for what's to come but it was still a pretty decent one. The final sequence with Garou "fighting" the other heroes looked nice, by the way. |
| Gd to see a decent animated episode for once.I'm looking forward to the next episode.Hope they animate it well. |
 |
| Pretty boring episode tbh... |
"At some point, I stopped hoping." |
| Oh man, I'm worried about Super S. I hope she doesn't get killed, Super S is too sexy to die! |
| the problem this season is not exclusive to jc staff, but the same author seems that this forgeted about his own story, because extend this arc to see the secondary characters with their own fights seriously, when before Saitama always came here to piss on the pride of these guys in a burlesque plan by showing them that they are not worth anything by making their own punchline, because seriously after Boros no one could take seriously any of these guys who are literal garbage. This has no parody or grace How I detest that the authors always turn their initially interesting work into a cliche and boring story |

And funnily enough it was animated by JC Staff xD. JC Staff is really good at certain genres. Action isnt really their strong suit. My favorite has to be Black Lagoon or Fate Stay Night Unlimited Blade Works I mean Saiki K had basically no animation xd, so yea it was basically a show made for JC staff. |

This has no parody or grace How I detest that the authors always turn their initially interesting work into a cliche and boring story I respect your opinion dude but I disagree, most of us actually doesn't have a problem with the manga, after the Boros arc OPM got a bit more serious but it was pretty well presented in the manga and it was still interesting. Some people didn't liked the tournament arc but I actually liked that arc. The thing I didn't like is how mediocre the anime presented the things from the manga, it had no impact, no well directed scenes, the director needs to make those moments shine in the anime but he's just lazily copy/pasting the manga into the anime and it just isn't working out and the mediocre animation is not helping either. My point is that the source material (aka: the manga) has nothing to do with how bad season 2 has become, the manga is pretty good in it's own right, the anime however is not. If the directing and animation was something close to season 1 then the 2nd season would be more enjoyable and people wouldn't be complaining about it all the time. I think you're someone who can enjoy something more traditional, but I keep my point simply is not a correct evolution of the concept because despite everything the very existence of Saitama completely ruins any kind of tension it is impossible to take anything seriously because of his omnipotence, it has become the same as he tried to parody which is not a sign of good writing but of a huge contradiction. |
| Great episode. I didn't like that the left the shiny nude guy at the start be as dark as he would be in real life. They should have added some fake lighting for when he shows up so the audience can see the character better Also, the season is 12 episodes. Next episode should be the end of the Garou fight and but given that most likely the season will end with what all the heroes are thinking while entering the Monster Association's base I don't think there's enough content for a full episode (including the scene and the scene). Well, they might decide to drag on the scenes so that the time extends RayReynolds said: I think you're someone who can enjoy something more traditional, but I keep my point simply is not a correct evolution of the concept because despite everything the very existence of Saitama completely ruins any kind of tension it is impossible to take anything seriously because of his omnipotence, it has become the same as he tried to parody which is not a sign of good writing but of a huge contradiction. That's the whole point of the show. Saitama is the Deus Ex Machina. There is literally no one in the world stronger than him (I did see a fan-made picture of the rankings of all strong beings in OPM and there was only 1 character placed next to Saitama at the top and it was someone who isn't even introduced in the manga yet, so he/she definitely wouldn't appear in the next 2-3 seasons of the anime). Saitama limited his power against Boros due to going with the flow but he definitely could have one-punched him too |

| I'm not just gonna hate on J.C. staff so good episode |
Come on man,where is that Noragami season 3 masterpiece.We want it, Bones! |
| Strangely a good OPM2 episode. Garou somehow thinks King dealt him that kick. It seems that both Saitama and Garou are unaware of each other's existence yet they've had numerous encounters |
| Another evidence even Saitama can't defeat King. |
 |
| Is King going to get the credit for weakening Garou enough for capture? |
 |
| Im starting to like Garou, Im actually rooting for him now lmao |
| Fingers crossed that Garo's next fight won't be a dissapointment |
 |
| Season 1 was awful but that season is actualy twice worse than season 1, how awful can an anime be... |
| Signature removed. Please have a positive iq. |
| I'm more interested in Garo's story than most of the heroes here lmao. I wanna see when he will be "beat" by Saitama when he actually knows who Garo really is lmao |
Meta_Yoshi said: I've no idea how they'll wrap all of this arc up with only about 40 minutes left, minus the OP/ED segments. ^_^; Sorry to disappoints you here, but the Garou arc won't ends in this season (This season will mostly ended at cliffhanger unless they went filler, which is quite unlikely) and the arc will only end at around Season 3 or 4. |

Yeah, it makes better sense that way. Thanks for letting me know. =) |
| Cool episode. Several scenes had awkward, bad looking art style, though. Genos' new armor looked even wirse than the previous one in my opinion. I dunno if it's its colours or average executed CGI effect. The best parts were: when King and Saitama were playing a video game; scenes with Gyoro and terrifying Orochi; but definitely the best bit was in the end when Garou faced all those heroes being wounded. I root for him to win, but I'm afraid that without monster cells it is gonna be impossible in his current state. In general I liked this episode. I hope last two eps will have some nice fighting sequences. |
| Great episode despite the animation issues. |
| Apart from last one there were parts of this episode that I enjoyed like the Saitam playing games with bang and the garou parts. |
| was there a post credits next ep scene? |
RaiRye said: Im starting to like Garou, Im actually rooting for him now lmao If we think about him, then as famous "hero hunter" he didn't kill any hero. Garou just knocks-out heroes he is after. His desire to become a monster has roots in compassion towards all hated monsters that are being exterminated all the time. So he ain't that evil, lol. |
Ooops, quoted the wrong post. Sorry, I'll edit it to quote the correct post |
|
| Really disappointed with fight scenes, they were really awesome in manga. |
 "All that is gold does not glitter, Not all those who wander are lost; The old that is strong does not wither, Deep roots are not reached by the frost." |
| Woah, are we actually coming back to the story after wasting more than half the season on filler? Don't tease me, show. |

Why would I watch an anime adaptation when the manga is still ongoing? This type of argument doesn't even make sense at all. According to your logic, there's no reason to watch the anime because there's already an original source of it exists before. Orochi and that tournament "arc" may not be includes on original webcomic but that doesn't meant it's filler. You have to remember that all these "fillers" are actually written by ONE himself, so this mean all of the manga-exclusive staffs was canon. I was also once thought that tournament "arc" was filler until the fans told me otherwise and some of manga-exclusive staffs was introduced in the latest webcomic chapters. |

| So Garou forget who kick his ass again. |
| It doesn't matter if you like LoGH,Monster etc.If you are a jobless or college/school dropout living in your mom basement, you are still an unintelligent loser. Taste in anime does not make you a better person. |
| This is impossible to conclude in two episodes as of now. They've either to go with an anime original ending or butcher even the ending of this show. If it's the latter, good job for maximum failure. |
ArrRti said: or butcher even the ending of this show. If it's the latter, good job for maximum failure. Why is this a big surprise when the Garou arc is not even end yet in the manga too? I'm pretty sure a lot of manga-readers already expected this season will ended at cliffhanger (Saitama one punches Elder Centipede and Garou saved by Monster Association) and this has nothing to do with the bad direction this season have. Your word about this season is a failure wasn't wrong, though. Lol |

I'm only 5 chapters ahead of the tv series, manga wise (as my country tends to dish out volumes rather slow compared to America or France) and an end doesn't seem to be even near. I thought they concluded the arc in Japan at least, oh well. So it will definitely be anime original or butchered as there doesn't seem to be an ideal cliffhanger-moment (afaik). |
| Gyoro focus this time...more saitama action please |
 |
| Fucking cliffhangers. |
| This series can eat shit now. First the animation Now black face in 2019? Fuck off Japan This has been a huge waste of 4 hours of my life. CTFU how does this thread only have one post about the blackface? Part of the problem and ya'll don't even realize it. |

| "You can't spell slaughter without laughter". |
| Cool Jojo ref XD. This ep was okayish imo except for Genos..wtf is wrong with you JC...why is Genos covered in oil? I'm worried what theyll do with the nest 2 eps considering the fights they have to animate. Though not expecting much. |
