| Wait so people only enjoyed season 1 because of Saitama? Bad new then folks because OPM has always been about the well-written side characters so you won't be getting a lot of Saitama action if that's what you want Overall a good episode. the CGI was really good and the animation wasn't bad looking. It's also a good thing that J.C didn't even try to recreate that glorious centipede art from the manga because we would've just been disappointed |
 |
| The quality is eps. is much better now, but on the other hand, garou is becomes more and more meh, for me, he can go back on that pile of thash. |
I found this ep to be a bit dull compared to the previous ones, might be because I'm more into OPM's comedy, rather than fight scenes :x Not that it was bad though, Metal Bat is pretty cool, and the animation was more than decent. Garou's backstory was not something I exactly expected, wonder how he'll develop as a character in the future. Such a shame he doesn't remember Saitama's chop! |

No where near the same level as season 1 How is not seeing genos enough a legitment critism, literally last ep was about him. And not seeing saitama they did the same last season, and a had worse superheros to fight the big bad for tension. Not seeing saitama is world building, and also setting up the plot for next ep Well, it's my opinion that this isn't as good as season one. Also, everything that happened in the last season linked back to Saitama in some way where as nothing is this season. Also, out of 4 eps so far only one has been about a main character (genos last ep) |

No where near the same level as season 1 I think Saitama just wasting Garo last week kind of spoiled it for me. I wanted that beatdown to be at the end of the season.. Apparently, Saitama and Garou don't actually seriously fight for a long time |

RayReynolds said: the animation was not bad, but in terms of designs and direction of anime art is really lazy, just compare   Jc staff It's one of the most boring studio I've seen for a long time. Actually, they have been animated, watch it again closely then you'll recognize it. From what I've observed on that part, they just made it fast. |
| Reality is often disappointing. |

| Metal Bat is awesome! |
| Another good episode Animation looks fine. |
| This episode was almost Season 1 lvl. The animation gets better from epsiode to episode |
  |
| as a manga reader, I have bad news for you! ghtyujkkpkohkjb said: Already the 3rd episode in a row where there's almost no Saitama at all. This second season should've been called "Dudes no one heard and cares about". |
| EL PSY KONGROO!!! |
| I fuckign love Garou |

| Oh, nice. Metal Bat fights against Star Platinum, er, a giant centipede and wins. Ora Ora Ora Ora! On a side note, the ep itself was...okay. A huge downgrade from episode 3 but it's on par with ep 1 and 2 again. |
| overall better episode than last week |
 |
| Useless episode, nothing happens. No one cares about centipedes who come out of nowhere, why do they have to wait to begin the tournament ? |
| Garo really is the highlight of this season. His theme tune really pumps the vibe. |
When someone asks me why I like anime, I'd say Just Because. |
| 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. |
| I really liked seeing Metal Bat in action, and the CG for the centipede was, in my opinion, pretty good. It made it look cool. The pacing for this season is pretty slow, though...and I kinda wish Saitama had more screen time. |
GoldenDevilGamer said: TsukuyomiREKT said: That blur effect is used for TV censorship against effects that can cause epileptic seizure (ever since that Pokemon Porygon incident). TV Tokyo's guidelines are listed here. Stuff like this will most likely be removed from the blu-ray releases. There's other shows that get affected by this guideline, including stuff like JoJo (which also has them removed from their blu-rays). There are other shows that dim the visuals instead, like MHA or the Fate stuff made by ufotable.They're using more of that blurring effect shit like in episode 2 instead actually animating the individual blows and movements. He's talking about the blur scene with the camera shake and those scenes are like that to hide animation issues. Diming is one thing bluring like that is another, previous season had a lot scenes like that that weren't blured... You can pause when Metal Bat was blocking the centipide attacks, all the frames where "blured", just like in the previous episodes. Fate, MHA and Jojo usually don't pull shit like this. |

They are just different, I personally still like Saitama better but that is just personal taste. |
| Loved the episode. Slow pace and I wish we saw more of Saitama but great overall. Happy to see new heroes too! |

| Metal Bat seems like a cool guy. :P Good episode, although it felt a bit chaotic, as for we had four "places of action" at once: Saitama at the Tournament / Garou / Metal Bat and his bodyguarding mission / Hospital. That's why we had calmer scenes with Charanko and Mumen Rider or Saitama with wig on his head, and then we were moved to the place where Metal Bat was fighting monsters. It would've been good if there were less main attachment points that differed so much. Episode 4 was not as good as the previous one, but I liked it to be frank. I'm happy that the visuals are not decreasing in quality, but they slightly improve each episode (at least for me). They are more consistent in terms of animation and artstyle. Here we could see some more CGI than usual. I was worried at first, but later Centipedes appeared to be handled very well as CGI models in 2D graphic. They didn't look odd, they fit everything and even if you could tell they were made with CGI they didn't ruind the whole atmosphere, but rather made it even more cool (I'm talking about that moment when giant centipede showed up). btw. King being King was awesome as always. xD |

| I enjoyed that. The animation seems to be improving rather than getting worse, which is great, even if it's still nothing special. The pacing felt a lot better than it did in the manga, at least to me. I think this season is turning out to be much better than people expected, even if it still isn't as impressive as the first one. Also, to everybody complaining about the lack of Saitama so far this season: Get used to it. Garou and the other heroes in the association get a LOT of focus in this story line, so adjust your expectations accordingly. Let yourself enjoy Garou, because he's an AMAZING character (even if the anime adaptation isn't quite as compelling as the manga) |

| I think this ep was solid. GARO VS METAL BET NEXT EPISODE LET'S GET IT |
| Good episode! I find Metal Bat quite amusing, and i like his fight against that monsters! Saitama disgised was so funny, i am hyped to see more about tournment! Garo and Metal Bat find each other, and Metal Bat defending Garou attack was so cool, curiosu to see their fight! |
 |
| Hm. The opening it growing on me (the song, that is xD). Wasn't great, but still this episode was much much better than previous ones~ |
| The EVIL that is the CGI in this episode made me want to empty my skull with a shotgun. |
on 
| So is this where most of Toaru Majutsu no Index III's budgets (Especially EP23's) went to, JC Staff? Elder Centipedes' CGI was look even better than Accelerator's White Wings CGI from last Index III episode. In term of adaptation, I wonder why they changed some of pacing (Not counting small fillers) in this episode? Watchdog Man is not supposes to be shows up yet up until after Garou's fight against Metal Bat, same goes with Suiryu too which was during middle of Garou's fight. Not sure if it because I get too used on Matsukaze Masaya's Kakine Teitoku voice, seeing him being voiced Suiryu (And the voice tone he used here) sounds a bit weird to me lol. |

| Been loving this so, after 1st and 2nd ep that were wonky, they have finally picked up with animation and pacing of the story. I feel like they kinda wanted to rush through King's and Fubuki's backstories and add them to gang. and then to get main thing that juggling between Hero Hunter and Tournament arcs. |
| Saitama entering a tournament feels exciting, yet boring at the same time. Can't wait to see what kind of funny stuff they'll pull with it. |
| This episode proves how awesome Metal Bat is! but looks like this is a very bad situation for him because not only he needs to deal with that Dragon Level centipede monster he has to deal also Garo in which he's gonna have extreme trouble! 5/5. animation is still SH!T courtesy (brought to you) by JC. |
 |
| CGI was really good. 4/5 Metal Bat vs Garou! |
