| 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. 😠😡 |

DonTrumpolino said: 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 |

| 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! |

| Loved this recap except the narrative, damn was it bad! But it made me remember and miss Saitama. Can't wait for the next season. 8/10. |

| 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. |

It revisits major battles, character developments, and the growing threats in the world of heroes. https://otaku0rbit.com/saitama-vs-garou-one-punch-man-2/ Key Highlights of the Special Episode: Recap of Season 1 – The special episode mainly reflects on Saitama’s journey, his rise in the Hero Association, and his encounters with Genos, Speed-o’-Sound Sonic, and Boros. Introduction to Season 2's Threats – The special hints at the emergence of Garou, the Hero Hunter, and the increased presence of the Monster Association. Focus on Genos' Growth – Genos continues striving to become stronger, analyzing past battles and preparing for new threats. Saitama’s Boredom Continues – As always, Saitama remains unfazed, still searching for a worthy opponent. This special episode doesn’t introduce much new content but sets the stage for Season 2.

What are your expectations for the Monster Association arc? |

| Well, it was a recap of the 1st season of One Punch Man, I don't think there's much more to say than that. After the latest episode of the 3rd season, and discovering the recap that was released for the 2nd season, I figured there must be a recap for the 1st season too, and here it is! Since I watched the 1st season 7 years ago, this recap was really useful to remind me of some things that happened this season. As I said, I watched this after watching the latest episode of the 3rd season, since they made some mentions to characters and events from the 1st season, and honestly, this recap wasn't much help for that, since they jumped that episode in the recap, but ok I guess, I already rewatched that episode either way. I'm hoping this recap is going to be enough for this latest season. I genuinely don't remember the 1st season having so many "deep" moments, especially about the human nature and Saitama's struggles, I think it's more that the recap decided to focus on these, since this 1st season didn't have much of a story. But it's nice to see these tematics were already here in the 1st season, and well portrayed in this recap. Since this is a recap of the 1st season, and did a good job at that, I'm just giving this the same score I gave to the 1st season of One Punch Man, a 8/10. |
