sprite-1 said: 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.... The first season was the same. It is a comedy anime that relies on basic plots. They need to keep t fast or it will get boring real quick. |
| What saves this anime is the plot, comedy & obviously Saitama xD I love how they show how powerful Garo is for the whole episode, and the Saitama mistakenly finds him and beats the crap out of him in seconds hahaha gotta love this anime xD What an end! |
"There is no such thing as an Anime elitist. You watch Anime, therefore, you are trash by society's standards." |
| the pacing is a bit rough but the animation and art quality is noticeably better than in previous episodes. If they just used less blur it'd please a lot more people. Although it's clear they just didn't try on Genos. People need to stop shitting on this show as if it's worth rating it a 1 or 2 out of 10. |
 |
| Garou is a monster! The way he took all them heroes and wrecked Mumen Rider was brutal. I'm glad they didn't get killed by him (if we assume that everyone made it to the hospital safely). Garou's abilities look cool when they are performed. They seem also very powerful. I am curious how's Garou gonna cope with Saitama. I'm glad the art improved. We have "increase tendency" instead of getting worse and worse art. The same goes with animation. I was happy to see several fights that looked decent and had better animation than we could see in the previous episodes. It was not bad, don't get me wrong, but it missed some more complexivity, details. Episode 3's animation is not perfect as well, but it showed more detailed and complex frames and I had a feeling that "shaking camera" effect occured in smaller scale compared to the first two episodes. While I tolerated Genos' hands in the previous episodes, in this one they looked awful. That colour and a lot of ventilation holes just looked awkward and bad. Also, Saitama's "here, have a banana" destroyed me. xD |
| Garou vs Tank Top Master was pretty cool and well animated. Definitely the best from this season so far. Poor Mumen Rider, he doesn't deserve that face planting. :( Saitama one chopping Garou at the end was hilarious. |
 |
| Great episode honestly, I appreciated seeing (probably just a part) Garou's power, this man really is a threat. I also had a smile at the beginning when King & Saitama were playing video games while Fubuki was casually eating cookies lol Plus the ending is amazing, Saitama & Garou's very hazardous meeting in the street was hilarious. Hoping these two will meet again soon enough. |

bastek66 said: Supersky said: what about under 4k? Is that considered a failure or just average to that it isn't a total flop but no extra season? Disc sales are no longer relevant these days. Last season we had 2 sequels of shows that sold less than 1000 discs for first volumes (Kakegurui and Hand Shakers-W'z) yep thats true, international streaming license is a big factor this days too when it comes to anime profit and the old source material boost too is another big factor |
HueyLion said: Spiryts said: So darou is dead, s2 ended sooner than I thought 😉 Animation was better than in previous episodes, but Genos still looks awful. I dont know who this Darou is, but they sound pretty disappointing. 🤦♂️Oh ffs, I meant garou, I have no idea why I wrote it wrong. |
| Definitely an improvement over previous episodes, gives me hope for the rest of the season. |
| You know, honestly, I enjoyed this episode. The pacing still feels too fast, but the fight animation is considerably better than the first two episodes. I doubt it will stay this good though. |
 |
Vindicater said: The first season was the same. Sure but not at this blazingly fast pace. They're trying to fit probably 2-cour's worth of events into 1-cour |
| Garou is beast! That strike from saitama at the end though! |
| Petition to stop this Mumen Rider abuse! |
 |
| It leaves me the feeling of wanting to continue seeing more as it was the first season, its animation does not exceed the first but it is really passable, I love it. |
 |
| Lmao that ending with Saitama and Garou. That shit was hilarious. Makes me wonder tho. Can Garou really be so weak that Saitama would flatten him instantly? Well Saitama didn't know it was Garou anyway and left him on the ground, so he'll probably come back with for revenge. |
xShinigami3125 said: THIS IS AN ANIME ONLY DISCUSSION POST. 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. We can complain about the animation all we want but lets be honest it would've been much worse if Madhouse animated it. They lost a lot of money and a lot of animators and their recent shows have shown the difference. |
 |
| Genos in the after-credits was hilarious. Hyped up to see Saitama with hair xD |
 |
| And here I was thinking Overlord fans were annoying when it comes to anime adaptations... Well, I have to say that I'm liking Garou so far. He has no depth as a character (yet?) but his cocky attitude makes him really enjoyable to watch... well, except for what he did to Mumen, what a bully :/ Pretty entertaining episode overall. Tanktop Master vs. Garou sure was an impressive fight, I liked how it was handled. And also, I'm glad to see that despite being so strong, Garou can actually be physically injured by the other heroes. It made the fights feel more "realistic" if I'm honest. P.S.: Fubuki eating cookies was cute. |
| People once again nitpicking the flaws on animation during fight scenes. Its decent, and its getting good. And I think its better than the Overlord CGI. |

The anime they released recently have shit simple animation compared to OPM or Overlord S1. Bones, on the other hand though is on the rise. Ufotable is consistent. Also, lets not go to sleep on MAPPA. They're the real deal. |
|
| Wow.. People are becoming super critical when it comes to this series. Really, I feel bad for it. It's like everyone is watching every nitty-gritty of your movement and calling it the worst ever lol. It's like everyone suddenly become an expert in animation and such. Well, that kind of habit is inevitable for watchers so I won't complain about it. Keep doing it boys!! Your salt is my day to day fuel. Anyway, in this episode we are served with mostly Garou. Bang called his elder brother "Oni-chan" is kinda cute too haha. And that ever concerned Genos towards his master is just like him. Also, I feel sympathetic toward Mumen Rider. Again! Not worrying about the power difference and butt in to the fight. So, he is basically Saitama before he got his power. I wonder if he will ever get or 'inherit' a true power like Saitama. |

| Pretty good animation imo, definitely not Madhouse level but good. The fight between tank top and Garou stood out in this episode, hopefully they keep up with this quality and I'll keep watching : P |

(Shaft tends to be too erratic for me to count them despite being my favorite studio) Bones has not had a single poorly animated show in like the last 3 or 4 years. Mappa has been making hits recently too. Ufotable has incredible animation just rarely put out content. |
|
| The chop scene and the post ending scene were pretty damn funny. When Garou attacked Saitama he made the same facial expression someone makes when they attack a high level player by mistake, I couldn't stop laughing for a while. They improved animation quite a bit, I hope it keeps getting better or at least keep the same quality this episode has. I just wish Geno's arms stopped looking like charred mechanical parts, and less dark shading, everything looks way too dark most of the time. |

-Aincrad- said: Seriously, you guys just can't enjoy an anime You're too busy looking for mistakes in the animation each second... Sorry that we have standards |
| based on the poll, majority of audience like this episode as well. as someone who breakthrough that cool and amazing webcomic art, even this decent animation is enough for me to enjoy this series. tho i see that some people already dont care about the story and nitpick every bit of the animation, good luck critizing for the next 9 episodes as well. |
Ten said: EpsilonX said: Honestly, if you thought this was boring then you probably won't enjoy the rest of this season. Yeah, it could be the case but I still hope there'll be some interesting parts in the season too. I enjoyed the scene with Saitama and Garo, so if there'll be something similar later on, it'd be good. I'm just not a fan of random fights with disposable characters. I'd like to see more interactions between the characters we already know. Let's just say, this episode looks like a simple build-up and not very much promising at that. If it wasn't a sequel I probably wouldn't be interested in watching whatever they are building it up to. We all know Saitama will beat the shit out of Garo anyway, which could add to the boredom for the current episode and to anticipation for the next ones at the same time. I don't want to spoil anything, so I'll just leave it at this: be prepared for a lot of scenes focusing on the supporting heroes. Personally, the Garou vs Tank Top and Mumen Rider fight was one of my favorite parts of the manga, so it's a bit weird to hear people call this episode boring. I definitely think the manga had more tension in these scenes though. The anime kind of rushed it a bit. |
 |
| Good Episode! So Fubuki entered in Saitama's group, so hilarious! Damn, Garo is really a monster, defeated everyone so easily, was also nice to see other heroes abilities! Saitama at the end was so awesome! So badass when Garo's attack had no effect on Saitama! |
 |
| I kinda liked it a bit i just hope they make the animation looks better |
 |
| They're cramming a lot of content into these episodes; I hope the fight contest is at least a two parter....... |
| "Genki is Life, Genki is Love" |
| Both art and animation were far better in this episode. Much closer to the first season's. There was actual animation this time around, instead of just sliding frames and quick flashy effects during fight scenes. Saitama still sounds off, though. It's like the voice actor just doesn't give a shit anymore. |
BlakexEkalb said: xShinigami3125 said: 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. Tbh the fact that you're giving it a 1 after giving the first season a 9 is one of the problems with this community. How is that hat a problem ? I showed my rating system on my profile, when a show is just bad, and makes me actively hate it, then I give it a 1/10. Rimzyy said: xShinigami3125 said: THIS IS AN ANIME ONLY DISCUSSION POST.

Also it's not just the animation, the edieting, shading, art, and effects are massive problems too. Mod Edit: Merged duplicated posts; please use the edit button. |

| "Once you're done talking, let's continue our game." King knows what really matters here. Eww, Mumen Rider got it bad... Garou may be a "monster", but he's not psychotic based on how he treated the kid. Banana! Golden Ball's slingshot has a laser sight... Saitama gets karate chopped? And Garou gets a karate chop! Can't wait to see more interactions with Saitama and Garou. And the martial arts tournament is going to be a lot of LOL! "Oh...my gawd! The animation in this episode was like...sooo SLOW! Did you see Garou fight Tank-Top Master? It was like watching turtles racing through molasses! And that still frame shot while Garou beat the other tank tops was just lazy! And did you see Saitama's face when Garou karate chopped him? That art was horrible! I'm going to need ten prescriptions of eye drops just to clean all the filth that I just watched! Eww!!!" |
 |
| This was a fun episode, the scene where Saitama beated Garo took my by suprise and I really lol'd. Good to finally see some animation instead of a slideshow. |

| Garo messed with the wrong guy at the end. Got trashed in seconds by Saitama. Good episode. The animation is good too. And he now joins the martial arts tournament. |
| This episode was more enjoyable than the last two. The animation was upped by a bit. I hope they can maintain some semblance of that quality. Surprised so many people still complaining though. Although it was a bummer that Madhouse wasn't doing this, JC Staff seems to be putting a massive amount of effort in this. Way better than Overlord 3 lul. |

| Oh bad luck garo, you meet wrong hero xD |
 |
| Finally a good episode. The animations were good at some points, and it felt like it was directed better. |
