Welp, they adapted chapter 67+ including that Pig God eating scene. Eww.

Looks like they gave Tatsumaki slightly more screen time and we got more Super Fight tournament action with Saitama vs Suiryu. I still can't take Saitama with that fake hair on his head

Tatsumaki is the best girl from OPM.

J.C.Staff ruined Flashy Flash's attack lmao.

I never care about the tournament arc in the manga, so is the same shit with good or bad animation. At least we don't have the manga's slow pace.

So, it seems like we get introduced to a method that can turn humans into monsters. Although it's ideal for a hero to use that to get stronger, but you'd look ugly af, so not worth it, lol. Atomic Samurai's got a really cool look and I wish he plays a bigger role later on.

We also get Saitama vs. Suiryu, and, well, I've actually seen fan animation that's better. But at the same time, it's not bad. There was one or two decent cuts there, but nothing wowing I guess. But that ass attack still gets me, lol.

Some Saitama vs. Suirfu fan animation out there

Seems like this won't get any better, just the same awful art, terrible shading, lazy close ups, bad animation, and shity effects. The pacing was particularly horendous this episode, with them not leaving any time for any of these moments, which screws over all the characters that had their fighting debut in this episode. Also look at drive knight lololol.
They fucking cut out Bones part!!! I swear bloody vengeance upon these bastards for having the audacity to disrespect Bone-sama. And they fucking dared to use the Boros theme....... they cut out so much, it's insane.
At least gimme some more hilarious garou faces, this is just boring.

The pacing is really quick. In all of the scenes there is practically subtle build-up. The raw emotion and energy that existed in season 1 does not carry on to season 2. There be less hype in the actual fights. A few things are impressive here and there, but too far and in between. I feel the direction is the biggest problem at play here.

I have never seen an anime being this rushed before.Holy moly. Everything they are trying to do will just make the plot more and more confusing,and in the end,they will ruin the story

Can't believe we already get to see Saitama vs Suiryu?

Nevertheless i'm happy with the fight, but, the constant back and forth between tournament and monster outbreak in a single episode was confusing.

I didn't expect the pacing to be any worse than the previous episode. Just Capapble Staff aren't even trying a bit to animate properly. Every now and then, they use ghosting just to feign to have some action in the fight. This was completely horrendous episode.
How could they even cut Bones part, that was supposed to be the best part of this episode.
The fight between Suiryu and Saitama is one of the most detailed in the manga. Here it felt weak as f*ck. There was no actual sense of movement. Everything was so choppy. The sound design is too bad.
Suiryu, his face distorts with every frame. The VA also weren't effective. The manga had almost a whole volume dedicated to Suiryu vs Saitama, JC are not even doing good job at tracing it.
Saitama vs semi finalist also felt weak. Overall the action choreography in manga is far superior and provides more sense of movement and impact than the mediocrity served by JC staff.

Statements about the pacing is a bit too overblown. Yes, it's faster then usual, covering around 180 pages. But only minor dialogues here and there were cut out. Not to mention, the manga's slow pace during this segment was criticized by many, so you don't lose much by going through that content quickly. The real issue is the flow between scenes because the constants jumps back and forth don't work in its favor.

Well, transforming a robotic horse to a box, only to change it to a sword is inefficient. Logically, the anime's take makes more sense, but it's also hard to tell what his ability is in the anime because of it. But I can't say much was lost by cutting it out. It's clearly not one of the coolest things in the manga. Not even one of the coolest of its own volume.

You talking about that 3 page conversation that adds absolutely nothing for the series? I'll post them here so anime-only viewers can decide if they're important enough to rant about and turn your caps lock on for.

Parts of chapter 70-71, so roughly 80 pages. These pages barely had any dialogue to them too. Definitely not a volume.

i think this was the weakest episode of the season so far. too many fighting scenes and conversations were skipped from the manga. so rushed, so.. SO FUCKING BAD.
holy shit the animation was garbage, the sounds were atrocious.. what the fuck ,man?
i'm not trying to compare it with the first season because maybe the bar was set a bit too high but holy shit this is some awful garbage that they're releasing. its like they got some some 2nd hand staff that nobody wanted just so that they can actually release content.
i'd rather not have seen it at all. G A R B A G E!

This fight lasted for over 300 panels in the manga, and I bet it didn't have even 300 key frames in the anime!

I really don't care that much about the animation quality, but that fight was lame AF! They just botched one of the best moments in the manga.

I was expecting much much more. I even did re-read it last week. The pacing was awful, they butchered so many relevant parts. I thought the episode was going to end just before this fight, so the next episode could be all about Saitama vs Suiryu, and even so it would still be a bit too rushed. But what they did instead just ruined it all! Was there no planning at all for this shit?

And, even though I don't care THAT much about the animation, it felt so bland, the movements didn't pass any weight sensation. The sound direction contributed a lot to this too. It was a clusterfuck. Worst episode so far.

Seriously, what was is wrong with the "animation", it look as if a kid was introduced to the powerpoint "animation" feature back in the year 2000. it is literally a still image being dragged across the the frame. And his animation is supposed to be the center of attention at that point, in the middle of the screen. meanwhile Suiryu is actually animated to an acceptable degree in the same shot despite being rather irrelevant at that point.

Not a manga reader so no idea what they cut but the episode was okay. The final fight was entertaining. Hopefully we get more of Garu next episode, Saitama's fights are too predictable. I only would be interested in seeing Saitama vs the monster king.

They butchered the fight of the season for me.
for anyone interested, go watch Durzoo version's of the manga fight, it's way better than this.
JC staff approach is simple, a parody manga gets a parody anime adaptaion, just plain storyline and plain animation, get it over with and let's focus on the Loli and animate Fubuki boobs.

** also before anyone quotes and says they are here for the story, FFS Suiryu as a character got butchered badly, they rushed his dialoges, thet didn't show his hint of flashback, this was a massacre of side character that needed solid ground before the next episodes events. damn damn.

The Suiryu fight was one of the greatest (even tho a little short) fights in the manga, yet they managed to ruin that too.

It's just so disappointing to see how J.C staff treats this project, they show 0 care and are just in it for the money, they make it brutally obvious with their poor sound design, their very bad animation choices, bad direction, then there is that weak opening that only has 2 seconds in it that I actually enjoy, the ED is straight up lazy and has no character to it at all.

It's sad to see that a series I enjoyed so much gets this treatment.

I haven't watched this episode yet (will watch it in 1 hour) and from what I'm reading they even ruined Saitama and Suiryu's fight which is one of the coolest fight from season 2.

How the fuck is this anime still close to 8.0? this shit deserves a 7.0 or lower at this point. Fuck you J.C Staff.

Can they do that? Remake the episodes to be better? Cause God Almighty, this episode surely needs it, along with the rest of the season for that matter.

For so long I've been giving JC Staff the benefit of the doubt, but this episode not only felt rushed but just felt a powerpoint presentation on speedrun. How the show has fallen from its glory Madhouse days is unfathomable. If it were me, I'd have Wit Studio, Cloverworks or Bones animate season 2.

I like how the martial arts fight was adapted.
Some mixed action animation this time around, some horrendous, some half-decent.
The comedy was good though, I really liked this tournament arc in the manga.

Man, this was a bad episode (if you've read the manga. Anime only watcher might of liked it). They cut out the dialogue between Mumen Rider and Tank Top Master, which was suppose to parallel the insults that Suiryu was throwing at heros. The parallelism was supposed show how hard the heros were working and trying to protect innocent people while Suiryu was bashing them for being useless. It was pretty deep, only to get tossed out the window.

The first half is quite forgettable, between the fast pace and the lack of flow between the scenes with the constant cuts, things just happen and no particular scene has any kind of impact.

Well, there was something really good, TATSUMAKI'S LEGS, damn those thighs! I want them to sandwich me.



The second half was hilarious, between Saitama holding his wig and then beating Suiryu with a Keijo!!!!!!!!! attack it was very funny. The fight itself was decent, had some hype moments but others where I didn't know if I was watching a mix of The Promised Neverland with Dragon Ball Super episode 5 or OPM.

To finish, I love Lin Lin's design, I hope she participates somehow in the series and is not just a throwaway character with a great design. And they are really hyping the Watchdog Man, I hope he doesn't disappoint... him, not the animation.

The anime isn't getting any better. You can easily see it looking at the distribution of votes in the poll this time, they're trying to fit in too much in too little time. No information was given to us regarding the monster association, the S class hero introduction was too fast and unlike some of the previous episodes, the animations really felt lacking in this one particularly.

Suriyu VS Saitama wasn't hype at all, I just didn't feel as excited as watching it than watching the Lord Boros fight. Instead of combining the Monsters vs S class heros fights and the martial arts tournaments, they should have dedicated enough time for each but alas we have to live with this.

Tournament ended as expected with Saitama getting revealed.

Not quite as many cuts as in the last episode as well, nice.

The animation is finally getting worse and worse, just as I expected. The colouring on the metal parts were just gross.

Seriously how can there be people who defend this show at this point? only with its forced excuses, this episode is very bad, the S1 was memorable for its excellent animation and comedy, it does not deserve merit because it simply has not managed to do any of that, just to be called "One punch man" it does not save it, it's still a show of an invincible bald guy who does not care about his life and nothing around him.
