| perhaps the past 2 eps budget's are all spent for this ep's garou, tho it's not the best but at least it's getting better but.. why J.C... did charanko always that kind of good looking character??? -_________________- |
Can somebody explain to me why there is such an uproar about the animation? Why would anyone care or want top-tier animation from a comedy series? As long as you can see the moves it alright. It’s not HxH where the fights are actually important aspect of the genre. OPM is a action anime |
| "tank top vegetarian" I always end up laughing whenever I hear that name. last scene was pretty awesome. |
 "All that is gold does not glitter, Not all those who wander are lost; The old that is strong does not wither, Deep roots are not reached by the frost." |
| Garou got one punched haha. and Saitama in a tournament wholesome. |
| Why can't people just appreciate that this season exists. Focus on the positiv stuff in the anime and just enjoy it. Don't get hung up on small details like the animation. Even so, the animation is fucking sick if you ask me. I don't care if it's not as good as last season. It works and I support it all the way! |

| will definitely say that the animation this episode was much better than the last two. Not anywhere near S1, but it's fine. Hopefully it can be like this for the rest if the quality doesn't take a huge dip. 3.5/5 |

It works and I support it all the way! true, if JC Staff got the production time Madhouse had I bet this season would have been even better in terms of animation this season feels so different from the first.. it feels more atmospheric and OST once again is so fucking good |
| Remember people that the first episodes are always the best animated and then it decays, and considering the rumors of the problems of production it is possible that it begins to decay from the fourth, which will be a bigger disappointment considering that this episode came out very well. |
Maurice_5 said: We see the flaws dude, we have fucking eyes. The problem is the hate bandwagon and disproportionate bitching over minor flaws.It's better. Funnily enough, when the show starts actually showing the impacts during fight scenes they get a lot better. Who'dathunkit. But honestly, Garou's spin counter against Tank Top Master, up to the end of their fight, was animation I'd have expected from Season 1 - and I have no higher praise. Parts of Garou vs. Golden Ball were decent as well. But the pacing. Oh, the pacing. It felt like we were watching on fast-forward - not the action, but the cuts between scenes. Nothing is given time to breathe, to sink in. It's worst in this episode when Garou confronts Mumen Rider - and then immediately the Tank Top Brigade show up and apparently we're all about them now? Mumen just gets forgotten. Again, there's signs of improvement here and there - Saitama taking out Garou was great, because it was given a bit more time and a bit more focus. Honestly, the creative team is helped out massively by Murata's storyboards. Oh, and to everyone whining about people pointing out the glaring flaws in a glaringly flawed production: get in the sea. Picking apart what's wrong helps you appreciate what's right - when it's right. Because we're looking at and thinking about things like the direction, the sound design, the fight choreography, and yes, the animation, we can identify and appreciate when these things are done well. It improves enjoyment, it doesn't detract from it. If you don't see the flaws - I'm genuinely happy for you! We do. And we'll continue to point them out because this season deserves better. It could have been so much more, and we only get glimpses of what could have been by looking at it critically. |

Anime with sales above 5000 is classified as "pretty good". Over 10k is quite successful. above 20k it was a big success like monogatari, fate, idol, etc. what about under 4k? Is that considered a failure or just average to that it isn't a total flop but no extra season? |
|
| So garou is dead, s2 ended sooner than I thought 😉 Animation was better than in previous episodes, but Genos still looks awful. |

Is that considered a failure or just average to that it isn't a total flop but no extra season? im just gonna copy and paste my comment about that earlier here and One Punch Man season 1 sold 10,000+ average disc sales, source - http://www.someanithing.com/series-data-quick-view the break-even profit of most anime is around 3000 average disc sales, its also called the manabi line, ye people dismiss this manabi line thing but its more than enough to measure an anime that have average budget per episode, average budget of an anime episode is around 150,000 to 300,000 dollars quick math $150,000 cost per episode multiplied by 2 (usual number of episodes per disc) then divided by $90 (common bluray disc price in japan) you will get around 3,300 average disc sales that is needed to make a break-even profit |

DO NOT DISCUSS THE MANGA BEYOND THIS EPISODE. ---------------------------------------- Still looks terrible, and genos looks even worse than in the previous episodes lol. At least the TTM vs Garou fight was kinda decent, even tho the shiny effects again masked what good animation there was. Water Stream Rock Smashing Fist looked terrible due to that shity blue effect. Sadly that was the pivotal turning point of the God damn main fight, but why not make the entire screen blue lol. Garou vs golden boy was shit tho, and they butchered that banana. Kinda sucks that they didn't show garou holding mumen properly, that was awesome in the manga. The entire episode had very fast pacing, so they didn't leave any time for any of the moments to properly shine. Can everyone stop talking about the animation we all know its not as good as Season 1! This episode was great for the story and had some decent animation in there. And when Garou meets Saitama for the first time was funny and amazing!! |

deg said: kater_tot said: Am i the only one who thinks Garou is so fucking cool after this episode? That moment where him and Saitama met... i'm living for that shit haha I can't wait for them to properly go at each other! you will have to wait for as early as season 3 for a proper Garo and Saitama fight i recommend you read the manga already and even the webcomic where the proper Garo and Saitama fight already happen Wait... WHAT?! They aren't gonna fight this season?! |

kater_tot said: Even in the remake manga (the source for this adaptation), they still haven't fought yet.deg said: you will have to wait for as early as season 3 for a proper Garo and Saitama fight i recommend you read the manga already and even the webcomic where the proper Garo and Saitama fight already happen Wait...

| Well that was actualy quite good, there is still some hope for the S2! |
 |
| it was better than the last 2. Saitama give away bananas was so cuta,also it was Garou with that kid. I'm the only one who though of Wamuu sticking Nazi's hands together when Garou fought against Tank Top Master's pupils? |

| Garou will remember that |
STOP SLEEPING ON ODD TAXI |
| This episode was better than episode 1 and 2, but i'd like to see Saitama more. Tought for a second that Mumen Rider died. How come that such a popular anime has bad animations, I mean it's not like they have proplems with money... |

Last season we had 2 sequels of shows that sold less than 1000 discs for first volumes (Kakegurui and Hand Shakers-W'z) |

| Mumen Rider definitely earns his respect |

| "You can't spell slaughter without laughter". |
| I can't help but notice the awkward transition from one scene to another and the weird pacing. It's almost jarring and is ruining the experience. Maybe it's more obvious to me because I've read the manga. |
 |
| I'm fucking amazed!!!! Just one pat on the shoulder. How fuckin strong are you crazy son of a bitch!!! Replayed the scene like 10 fuckin times. So good!!! Hahahaha!!!!! |

AwesomeAlfie27 said: 2.OPM did NOT sell that well in Japan, they had normal, average, sales, and MadHouse cared a lot for the Japan market, so they sold the rights to JC Staff, this season's existance is a miracle I'm not exactly sure where you took this from, the sales for the first volume were 12.200 units, second volume dropped to roughly 10.000, volume 3 sold 9.000 and 4-6 also roughly 8.000. These are hardly bad numbers, the sales are almost at a 10k average which is mostly considered a success. Something doesn't add up considering Overlord Season 2 sold much worse and got a third season. I'm not denying that much more goes into earnings and all that but I don't think popularity was the driving factor in this. |
 |
| One Chop Man! Haha, Garou didn't see that coming. |
 |
| I shouldn't give a shit about what anyone say regarding this anime, 'cause this episode was great. Really enjoyable, through and through. |
 |
| he fucking annihilated him :D The new season is so entertaining tbh. not what I expected at all |

It's not about it being worse than s1, it's simply worse than most action anime nowadays. And the few decent bits of aniamtion are often ruined, or hidden by the shity effects, awful shading, and terrible editing. Those things weren't as prevalent in this episode, which is why it was better than episode 2, but that's still far from good. |
| The ending was too funny. Loved this ep |
| Animation was actually decent however it looked blurry most of the time which kinda ruined it for me , The bit after the ED was pretty funny . |
| Hey this ep was pretty good , no complaints here garou ost alone makes it worth |
Quite a but if a slow episode. It was mostly just showcasing Garou’s power and theres just some fight scenes with him and other heroes. Just when I thought the episode was over, Saitama popped upout of nowhere and gave us some good ol’ satisfaction hehe. Not sure if that was their first and last battle, but Gorou who seemed to be the real deal now seems not to be the real deal. My guess the next episode is going to play around the martial arts competition... and hair...  |
 plz @ me |
| Jeez the pacing is really so fast. They don't allow scenes to breathe at all. It's just one scene after the other in in a barrage.... |
| Big improvement from last episode, but there is still too much blurred effects. Fights were too short. Again, they crammed a lot into this episode so many moments just didn't feel right. Also the sound is just so bad. Music was bad too, could have used better music for the fights instead of piano |
