It is still kind of unprepossessing in the whole, but a bit less then previous episodes i ques

Some characters look weird deformed and are unappealing for the eye. Some may look decent , In the whole its a inconsistent mishmash when it comes to the animation department . Even if it have improved itself a tiny fraction from previous episodes , its still very low quality overall, or decent at best

The colours are noting to root for either ,dark brown grey dirty and blending together in a disgusting mix. This anime have some interesting characters ,but because it is a unholy abomination and sure looks like one!!,,,its kind of hard to love!!

The tournament it self is also a big let down.Boring slow and they talk more then fight and skipping most of the fights!!!!,,,,,, Fights i like to see!!! Its the worst tournament i have ever seen in anime!!! And when a so called "action" anime cant even handle a tournament right, you know something is horrible wrong with it!!!

My girls pillow fights tournaments in "Love Live!" are more entertaining!! They have a better flow, are way superior when it comes to the visual effects , much more exciting. And the action are a million time more impressive compared to this horrendous joke to an eyesore atrocity!! My cute schoolgirls outguns you!!!!! You should be ashamed of yourself!! You are one of the most pathetic and repugnant media of this millennium!!

I want Garou back!! Kick some ass save some ladies!! Kill some annoying heroes! He was fun and i kind of enjoyed it when he creates chaos and wreaks havoc! Now you are just boring and ugly. 2/10 I'm not impressed by your performance!! Better your self to next week!!

Ok this was better, sure, it still has the same problems as always but not at a level that takes away my enjoyment like the last episode.

I'm glad Tatsumaki's back, I like that sassy loli.

Suiryu seeks to be the strongest to live life easily... sure, why not? Though, of course it is selfish for someone so strong to not move a finger in a world full of monsters.

It was hilarious how while Suiryu was talking about the strongest and showed Tatsumaki and Garou all serious, Saitama was just sitting there on the toilet.

Having seen what S-Class heroes are capable of, I' m looking forward to see what the dog man can do against Garou.

For those who only watch the anime and don't know japanese, at 18:21 the bodies against the building spell ashidematoi, which is a japanese expression referring to someone who is a burden or hindrance and holds you back.

I was wondering what the 3rd and 4th characters were supposed to be. I also thought the last 2 characters are katakana.

iirc the literal translation would be along the lines of "hands tied to feet". Certain other languages have a very similar expression for someone who is dead weight.

I wish I was cool enough to hate good anime, unfortunately I love it. This episode was the tits, and I am really enjoying the views of the other characters. They were dangled in front of us first season, and we are really getting to know their goings-ons now. I love that big reveal of the head of the monster organization post credits, I can't wait till next week♪♫! ♪♫ HEEEROOOOO ♪♫♪♫

I felt like the pacing has been weird so far, especially since like, ep 4 maybe? So I went to check and in six episodes they apparently already blew through 30 chapters? It's like they are going for that tokyo ghoul speedrun. And sure maybe since there is fighting more chapters can be adapted, but I still feel like some depth to all of it is missing. Also, comparing with season 1 that whole season adapted just around 35 chapters so... even with fighting present the adaptation still could be slower.

Hoped to get into the first page for an increase in response likelihood. Meh.

Anyone notice this, I haven't studied my Japanese is so long but this is clearly hiragana... I'm now wondering what it's supposed to mean. Can anyone help?

Nonetheless, this was a great episode, the suspense around character had been conveyed pretty nicely so I cant wait for next week... Genos was taken out. Oof. The threats are getting even bigger, now it's just waiting to see how saitama develops even further -in the form of martial arts, 'cause, even though the one punch gag is great, I feel as though it can wear out.

In all honesty I'm just interested in the tournament and hope those monsters don't interfere with it, like Genos. Too bad he got beaten as always.

I want to see a Suiryu vs Charanko fight so badly. Suiryu is so arrogant AF.

Overall the pacing was just off.

Pretty decent episode.

I kinda stopped around here when reading the manga, for some reason I couldn't get into the whole tournament thing and the random cuts to various battles make the story seem like it's going all over the place and I lost interest. Hopefully it'll get better.

Good episode. Though I kinda don't remember Tatsumako making that face when she pushed Fubuki's lackey on the building.

Seems they are rushing things, then again the manga spend so much time on this tournament. It took awhile to actually move on from this arc.

Heck, by the end of the series, won't be surprised if there's only few chapters left until we catch up with the manga.

Just okay. Not good, not really terrible either. The animation in this episode was horrendous but at least we got Tatsumaki back, I guess. The jokes were fine, as per usual. Hopefully, they have some of the budget actually stored somewhere for the fights to come, because I really don't want Tank Top Master to be the only one who got a decent fight.

Better than the last episode. This episode is good and the animation quality, the color plate has improved a bit(except Genos's color). Nice action sequences, but sadly, they skipped many action panels from manga. Still, episode 5 was trash. I hope they will fix the whole season 2 in the DVD release.

I haven’t cared much or even complained about the animation yet, but this episode was the worst yet. Multiple 5FPS fight scenes that weren’t even fights. Really frustrating on an anime where you wanna see beautiful, well delivered fighting scenes.

Wow, the guy from the first comment sure is a committed hater...

Anyways, as a whole, this episode was better than the previous one but it still wasn't that outstanding either. The Fubuki vs. sadistic girl fight was underwhelming but at least, Genos vs. cockroach dude looked pretty decent.

And also, maybe it was just me but I remember the relationship between Fubuki and Tatsumaki to be more... tense, at least from Fubuki's side but whatever.

Overall, the episode wasn't as entertaining as others but with that ending I hope things light up a bit in the next episodes.

I'm confused. They were calling Tatsumaki "imouto" for a few lines and the suddenly she was "ane". It wasn't a subtitle issue, they said those words. Was the succubus just mistaken and thought Tatsumaki was younger cuz she's pettanko?


One of the running jokes of the series is that everybody thinks Tatsumaki is Fubuki's younger sister, when she's actually her older sister.

very boring episode, this program starts to turn into a garbage event, bad story bad action battle, is this what we get after a long wait of 5 years, this is just a damn, manga is the best, bullshit even far from the animated junk level, I don't think I need ordering a dvd bluray, because this is just money-making bullshit, why is the event at a score of 8.00 wouldn't it make much sense, it makes more sense if this series is rated at 6.00, I think the scoring system in the mall is very bad and unfair, I think the studio should stop this program soon because the manga is far more beautiful

Fucking hell, this is probably the worst episode yet. Horrible directing and pacing. The entire episode is just filled with characters babbling inner monologues and expositions. It's like I'm literally reading a manga, a shitty one at that.
"She's coming" "Explosions!" "Something's coming nearer" "something terrible"
Bitch, I can see it. How about letting the visuals do the talking, instead of explaining every single thing?

If I have to rank this episode start from shitty to actually decent, I would put it somewhere in the middle.

The animation was....once again the highest quality from J.C staff standard.

The stock footage from the first season when they put in the episode it somehow looks hundred time better than the entire episode.

Trust me, they won't gonna fix the issues for the BD/DVD releases and even if they do, they will "fix" the other okay-ish to decent-ish scenes instead of the obvious bad frames. This was happened to both Toaru Majutsu no Index III and Date a Live III BD/DVD, where every okay-ish and decent-ish scenes was fixed while most of the badly drawn scenes keep remain untouched.

yep thats true but as long as SANZIGEN or Orange studio does those 3DCG im fine lol those 2 studios distort the 3D models a lot to look like anime drawn style

EDIT:

found an article that you may find interesting https://www.pixivision.net/en/a/3122 some quotes from it

sometimes we need to disintegrate a character in order to come up with a good animation.
Wait, what do you mean by "disintegrate!?
Uetaka:
Well, for example, take this expression (left picture). It's a very natural pose for an anime, but if you take the front view of the same character you get something completely different and unnatural (right picture).

Actually, the fact the recent episodes keep switching between monsters vs heroes fights & martial arts tournaments rounds is a bit irritating, I'd like to see more of both but at this stage, it will take weeks to finally arrive to a conclusion.

Well at least it's moving forward, the tournament advances & monsters seem to be taking a lead.

apart from the arc around the tournament which is endless, they failed to execute music in every battle scene, the camera moved too fast, the sound quality was low, some frames of the manga were removed by them, damn animation so lazy that's why I said this show is fucking rubbish , JC staff never cared about the quality of the animation they did was only milking money from a popular series and then destroying it at the end like a junk item

please calm down, now the animators are exhausted and fainted, they have handled consecutive actions for up to 6 episodes, and then it will be ensured the quality will be far worse and decrease from the current episode
