Pretty much just a recap of S1 with Anpanman's VA doing the narrations. That last bit showed a bit of S2 stuff, though barely any of it was new footage. The new shots had good artwork to it, but it doesn't tell us much about how the animation will be (though we can already guess how the anime will turn out, production wise).

Just a recap. I thought they would maybe reanimate a scene or two more but it wasn't anything special.

Oh, f*ck!!

I was expecting some new content.
It's just the recap of the S1 after all.

Still mad at the crew though.

Why isn't this as long as the first season and basically just the first season?

Because timeslot is ~30 minutes long (with commercials) and it was recap of only existing anime material so far.
Seriously, did you think before writing this post?

Im curious who animated the recap. Did they just reuse scenes or is it all made by JC. Personally I am not as worried about the studio change as others are.

Pretty much good cause the only 12 eps for season 1 is pretty much forgettable, and this special reminds me everything, like, I didn't know they mentioned Garou in the 1st season... That's pretty impotant!
Looking forward to the next season!!

P.S. Am I the only one who thinks the animation looks fine? I mean really what is wrong with that?

Anyway, good way of recap 9/10 as always for OPM

Why? This is a commemorative recap. It's only supposed to remind you of what happened in the last season, which aired in this case 4 years ago. It did it's job as a recap of a parody show. It also didn't happen in the middle of the season to delay a regular episode for a week, so i don't know why you have to complain about it.

Scores proportionate to their quality.

Recaps are lazy, they reuse something we've already seen.

Well... Isn't that the purpose of a recap? Only to remind you of what happened? And not to tell the next part of the story or show something that didn't even happen in the last season? It's like saying that water is bad food 'cuz you're still hungry after you drink it but it was never supposed to stop your hunger, you drink it to stop your thirst

Yup, and that's why they are totally unnecessary.

If I don't remember what happened in the previous season, I'll rewatch it, or read a synopsis.

But some people don't have enough time to rewatch the whole season and the synopsis usually doesn't have all the important information in them, they usually only write the basic plot and not specific moments. I mean, what if you forgot about the prophecy? You wont find that in the synopsis or maybe Saitama's hero rank and things like that

The wiki can spoil stuff for you (unless it really has only the event's of the previos season) and some people don't like reading that much (except reading the subs i guess) and are really greatful for seeing the highlights even if it's the exact same scene as it was in the season before

It's just the usual recap with nothing new except for some narrative commentary that describes what's happening in each scene along with information we already know. It's a good thing that I rewatched the anime not too long ago~

I'm so hyped for the second season and I can't wait to see Saitama in action!

Not too bad, I was too lazy to rewatch the whole first season, but this was more than half decent. Absolutely not an alternative, but it does its job to remind you of what-what the plot accumulated so far. It did it for me after almost 3 years from watching the first season.
