THIS IS AN ANIME ONLY DISCUSSION POST. DO NOT DISCUSS THE MANGA BEYOND THIS EPISODE.

Free hug lol

A lot of talking and dialogues this episode. I mean, heroes gotta be heroes. Garou's back at it again with his attitude. Idk, the action felt really awkward this episode. Sonic's also back, again.

Sonic is great. He needs more screentime.
All weebs creatures of the galaxy, hear this message. Those of you who listen will not be struck by western animation. You will no longer know hunger, nor pain. Your Anime have come to lead you now. Our strength shall serve as a luminous sun toward which all intelligence may blossom. And the impervious shelter beneath which you will prosper. However, for those who refuse our offer and cling to their western animation ways… For you, there will be great wrath.

Jeez, after 1 week hiatus it looks uglier than ever with less animation. Congratulations J.C. Staff!

God, this is real bad. The animation during the "fight" scenes was totally phoned in and none of the comedic moments landed at all. Just no impact across the board for me.

According to Crunchyroll it was due to the French Open (tennis).

Had looked forward to this episode for a while. Wanted to hear King's speech to Saitama-chin about being bored as well as Saitama taking out those 2 monsters in his usual style. For some reason they didn't feel as impactful in the anime. Manga did it better. The animation is still meh, but thats par for this adaptation.

After the long wait "15 days" I'm really disappointed there is no action at all and the fight is skipped even the one punch :'(

Anyone notice that any time any sort of fighting happens (not just when Saitama is on the screen), the anime will cut away to a different frame and play audio of fighting happening. Besides the first few episodes, this has happened almost every time. *Big sigh*

Ya, even I liked this week's episode. I feel people are getting too hyped about J.C.Staff, and trying to find the reminicents of the first season instead of taking the second season as a second season.

the art was on point, and the animation was really good as well people!! by this time you should´ve already come to terms that this is not S1, S1 was a miracle that happens rarely. there are some really cool shots, and moments of sakuga, i like it. we are getting a good shounen anime adaption, where the highlights will have good animation and the rest....well the rest they are going to have to cut corners. deal with it

Best episode for me this season so far! Absolutely enjoyed everything of it. I haven't laughed this much in opm recently. King's motivational speech was epic lol. Saitama finally gets his one punches this episode too! And poor Garou gets destroyed by two bored faces. Interested in next episode now!

NoP, Unfortunately they keep it the exact scenario of manga, witch most of time a good thing but I'm not OK with it in this case. I don't know what was the problem with writer of this manga at that time maybe the dead line or health issu ... anyway I'm look forwad to watch the next episodes.

P.S: If you like to start reading this manga from episode 9 = chapter 75 - 78. but I recommand you to read it from the beginning because the anime skip to many Interesting scenes and infos.


Well I got the feeling that I was watching a censored episode (-_-;)

Impossible, that episode was actually great! First chuckles since early episodes, some introspection from Saitama (and because I'm not an action junkie, I don't care about fight scenes). However, the series is so inconsistent, mixing comedy with serious stuff and action poorly I have absolutely no clue how I'm going to rate it

Puri Puri Prisoner-chan finally appeared in action! <3

I was disappointed that Saitama vs. Gouketsu fight was that short, or rather it was not shown at all with an exception for Gouketsu's head falling down from the sky. While defeating Bakuzan rather fast was clearly understandable, I expected some more action scenes if Saitama vs. Gouketsu duel would occur.
If I might ask manga readers, did it look like that in manga?

The best action scene was Sonic training in the forest when these two guys "ambushed" him in order to make an offer for Sonic about him joining Monster Association. His scene when he roasted monster's cells was brilliant and hilarious. xD

There was a lot of talking. I liked it, because we were able to see several short, but cool looking action bits. My favourite chat scene from this episode is the one in which King talked to Saitama.
About that, Garou experienced Saitama's power once again, lol.

Even if we look on the fact that this episode was delayed, I didn't expect it to be in exceptional good quality because we had to wait 2 weeks for it.

Anyway, I liked this episode. It was not as good as several previous eps, but in terms of quality it was.alright for me.

I think J.C. Staff did a pretty decent job with the Suiryu stuff. It not only once again reinforces how awesome Saitama is, but just how much of an inspiration he can be to other people. Him turning Suiryu down was just as funny here as it was in the manga. You can practically hear Saitama thinking "Not this shit again." The phone vibrating in Puri Puri Prisoner's ass resonates with me on a spiritual level. The King and Saitama part was adapted pretty well too, in my opinion. Saitama is pretty depressed from being so powerful, and King's speech was well done. I feel pretty bad for Saitama in that if/when Saitama meets Garou for real he will probably be very disappointed.
Speed O' Sound Sonic cooking the Monster Cell is still hilarious.
I forgot that the Armored Gorilla was so powerful. Goes to show that Genos isn't weak. Everything else is just strong. They did the monster reveal at the end decently. Could have been better, could have been worse. 7/10 episode, I'd say.

I disagree with you. It was important to skip the fight here due to the next scene with his monologe. If they would had shown the fight you propably would had been hyped which would stand in contrast to the feeling of Saitamas boredom. With skipping the fight you are more in the mood and can understand Saitamas feelings better. imo. :)

Yeah I also feel like they are adding soundtracks just for the heck of it, it doesn't suit the atmosphere at all. This is the director messing those parts up with his mediocre directing.

I don't get the whole 'bad animation' stuff...maybe there is a difference but it never really bothered me.
I think some people are just growing out of animes or want to say SOMETHING just to feel like some kind of elite weeb.

I'm really glad that i can still enjoy animes without this crap. If i like it, i watch it, if i don't like it, i don't watch it. It is that simple.

Why do people think the absence of a Gouketsu battle is laziness in both anime and manga? The whole point of the scene is that it's from Suiryu's perspective, it wouldn't work anymore if we watched the fight.

Puri Puri Prisoner, in all of his naked glory, against a massive hedgehog that only wanted a hug, so Puri hugged the monster hedgehog so hard that he killed it. Good job!

Although, I do wonder if he kept his flip phone in his butt-crack or not. Where else would he have kept it? XD

King's talk to Saitama about what makes a true hero was great, even though he read it from a manga, but the words did get to Saitama a bit. Garo did arrive to strike King, but Saitana effortlessly kicked Garo into a nearby building, rendering him out of action for the second time.

As for Sonic, he got plenty of screentime, but he was also given a monster cell by two guys he knew that want ed him to be part of the Monsters Association. However, Sonic cooked the monster cell and instead of transforming, he got diarrhoea instead. An idiot indeed, but at least he's still human...I hope. =)

It was a good episode, aside from the average visual quality again.
