| THIS IS AN ANIME ONLY DISCUSSION POST. DO NOT DISCUSS THE MANGA BEYOND THIS EPISODE. ---------------------------------------- I have gotten to the point where I can ironically enjoy this. Garou looks so god damn awful, and the animation is so lame that it's bloody hilarious. |
| Metal Bat vs Garou but it looks like Zenko (Metal Bat's sister) interrupted it. Heh, too bad. Looks like we got the Super Fight tournament contestants introduced now and oh boy, that's a lot of talent. Lol, Saitama got booed on stage. We even got some fighting in the tournament now. Hello Monster Princess:o |

| Dang that was a letdown, compared to ep 3's Tank top V Garou. Metal Bat V Garou was.... pretty weak to say the least, I remember enjoying this in the manga way more, the animation was just a full on loop, almost all their jabs were repeat frames with shakey+blur effects. so yeah, really didn't enjoy this episode, but heck at least Fubuki's still smexy! overall the ep was underwhelming. |

| Oof, Metal Knight looks the worst with that metal gradient because he's all metal, lol. Also, Garou vs. Metal Bat was extremely underwhelming. Probably 5 seconds of good animation cuts at most. The content itself was good though. It's cool to see Garou give up on the fight once someone unrelated interferes. Garou's intention is to beat up heroes (and villains), but he doesn't have true evil intentions. He just wants to prove that he's the strongest, which he clearly can't be. CGI centipede still looks really good. What really helps is adding smear effects to a CGI object, which makes it fit with the 2D animation. Well, we finally start the tournament. Genos clapping though, did he program himself to clap in that rhythmic manner? XD Saitama Charanko is OP as expected, Genos needs to head to battle already, and Suiryu found an interesting opponent for himself, that he probably shouldn't try fighting. Overall, meh episode. Pacing still felt slower than it should. Will it really cover upto Chapter 84 by this season? Well, still 125+ pages adapted in this episode, so that's still the usual pace. It's just that it felt like they could've adapted one more chapter and end the episode off at a more hype note. And the animation was the weakest of the season so far, which is disappointing since Metal Bat vs. Garou was supposed to be one of Garou's best fight. |

| Yeah I don't think the episodes are gonna look like episode 3 again unfortunately. The past few episodes have been total letdowns |

Fubuki is really the only thing saving this adaptation tbh. She hella thicc and sexy af!! Kinda hoping she and Saitama get together in the manga or become closer at least if the author wants to try it |

Animer_man said: Ahahahahahaaaaa! Oh, man, this hilarious.It was a decent fight so keep your mouth shut. Even if madhouse animated this it would have same quality so stop barking garbage. Also go read manga by yourself don't invite us If the animation was all that was problematic with these episodes, it would have no bearing on the overall quality since the story is still good. The direction is just a mess and that's what is hurting this adaptation the most. JC Staff's penchant for cutting content and trying to squeeze as much as possible with questionable cuts and the fact that the pacing is all over the place, the result is just a mess. What's really working against this series is the fact we have seen it better handled and so we can't help but compare. Banana Fish's anime adaptation got away with some badly handled stuff because it had never been adapted before and had a good story. Still manga readers and seaoned anime viewers saw all the glaring flaws. This is how I feel about One Punch Man seaon 2. I can't help but notice the flaws as a manga reader and the fact Mad House's quality just shits all over it. |
| That slap by Saitama lol. It ended the fight too quickly. |

KairosLacuna said: MADHouse has already shown that they can do WAY better than this generic, cheap animation. The entire episode was boring. Lots of fights that ammounted to nothing and that werent even fun to look at, meh dialogue with almost no jokes (or at least none hit the mark) and just leaves with the cliff hanger of the only thing that could have saved the episode: Saitama and the tournament Just curious, have you by chance seen Afterlost? It's Madhouse's anime for the spring and on top of being crap, it's animation is terrible even using terrible CGI background characters. Also the studio has come under fire recently for overworking animators. Are they really the studio you want working on One Punch Man? |

| I love One Punch Man, but.... man what is going on? This season is a mess, really dissapoint, we need to pray for a "One Punch Man Brotherhood" or something, we need a remake of this with better animation and better direction. |
| I keep moving forward |
| So Garou vs Metal Bat was... a little underwhelming. |
| *Mourning the disappointment of The Promised Neverland season 2.* |
| damn only few moments of sakuga again and the execution/direction is boring lol looking forward to Fubuki vs Super S as well as Tatsumaki next episode |
| wow! what a bad episode. the worst by far. what did i just watch |

All im saying is, when MADHouse wants to be good, they can be really fucking good. MADHouse is known for amazing action shows while JC Staff is known more for SoL shows (I might be mistaken tho). Studios don't make anime, Animators at Studios make anime. |

| This episode was very frustrating to watch. I found the cuts from the tournament to the monster very unfitting. Also to be honest I would have liked to see much more of Saitama fighting in the tournament than the monsters taking over the city. |
| They could pace it a bit faster maybe... |
| It's a shame they removed Genos' longer hair in this arc. I thought it's a small nice change I don't even realize at first when reading the manga lol |
| Wow that was pretty bad. Metal Bat vs Garou looked pretty stupid. Gonna reread the fight in the manga to get this travesty out of my head. |
 |
| Lol Genos beeing the only one to clap for his Master as usual |
| just because I’ve gotten weaker, doesn’t mean that you got stronger, does it? |
| That directing is legit 0/5. There is no flow, it just feels lifeless and random. Also they could've shown great comedic parts in this season yet they cut it? Episode 3 made me hope that this season might get better but oh well... |

| The fight was way shorter than I remember from the manga. I thought it'll last to the end of the episode but it just took like 7 minutes lol |
| Didn't feel this episode. Just hope sadistic lady vs Fubuki will be good. |
One Piece episode 914 & 915 & 1027 were a mistake and 957 brought the salvation - FMmatron |
| I am doubtful they would let Genos watch a martial arts tournament, much less even still hold the tournament when nearly every city is being attacked. It feels like this episodes two plots are happening in entirely unrelated worlds. |
 |
| Nothing special, but I had fun watching it. Also, I'm excited to FINALLY see Death Gatling adapted. Hoping he does something next episode. Guess I'll have to re-make the cape for my cosplay of him, since I got the colors wrong. |
 |
| Really enjoyed it, although it's the worst episode so far with awful directing. |
| What fucking garbage, and they really teased with decent animation last episode smh |
| “I love heroes, but I don't want to be one. Do you even know what a hero is!? For example, you have some meat. Pirates will feast on the meat, but the hero will distribute it among the people! I want to eat the meat!” - Monkey D. Luffy |
| This has become even more of a slog than before, with the shitty Metal Bat v Garou fight and the dumbass sister whose characterization doesn't match that phone call from the previous episode at all, and how they keep interrupting all this surprisingly dull and bloated series of monster attacks with this stupid martial arts side-plot that barely provides any comic relief. It's just more dicking around, waiting for things to happen, dragging this episode down to an agonizing crawl! Hell, they just abruptly cut to credits at the end of a pung gag and put the finishing gag that would have tied at least the sub-plot of this episode (the grudge this pretty boy develops with Saitama dressed as Charanko) after the credits! Fuck this episode! It's on par with episodes 1 and 2, if not worse in some instances! Every episode of this season has become a fucking drag minus episode 3, and this episode embodies that meandering, bogged down while trudging through a thick swamp feeling. I can't even bring myself to hate it cuz it's just too tiresome and there is still one or two decent gags and whatnot that keep this above a 1/5 for me. Still...damn. This is One Punch Man now...that's depressing. The hate train this show got was more than deserved, even if that should apply to the awful writing quality and not just the terrible visual presentation. |
| Being wrong is just an occupational hazard. Follow me on twitter. I have an anitube channel so feel free to check it out and subscribe if you like what you see. |
| This episode ain't episode 2 of bad animation, but jesus christ was this dissapointing. And the worst part is that people eat this shit up. You can call me and others sakutards or whatever y'all for stupid insults names use, but this anime doesn't do the manga or as a follow up of season 1 justice. If you really want more OPM content, read the manga. |
| It seems Garou has a soft spot for children. Saitama called a guy weak like he just noticed something quite obvious. I love his ability to offend just about anybody. Saitama won with a slap. Hahaha Oh good, the girlfriend never showed up. The guy can still propose to her. Lol. |
| Well, they are presenting it 80-85% of how it's supposed to look so it's fine |
 |
| The only way to stop Garo right now, other than to knock him unconscious, is to get a little kid involved. In this case, it was Metal Bat's sister and her words was powerful enough to make Garo lose interest in his fight and walked away. Either way, he was only one hit away from winning, but that was dealt embarrassingly by Metal's bat sister instead. XD But the animation, for me, was as lackluster as episode 2. Character models were fine, but the movements and the huge use of blurring wasn't good at all. At least the CGI centipede still looked great in the few scenes it still appeared in this episode, though. =) What I really want to see more of is the fighting tournament. Saitama is already through to the next round after simply slapping his opponent's face silly. Lucky for the guy that his girlfriend never turned up to watch his thrashing, lol. The episode was frustrating, but it still had some good points. Hopefully, the rollercoaster animation quality will improve next time, or it could get worse, who knows..... |
