This can't be compared to Season 1, in any way, except that Saitama and the gang are in it.

Worst episode so far for me. The cutaway scenes and the whole structure was so off, if I wasn't a fan of Murata's work and the franchise, I'd have already dropped it.

I'm all about Metal Bat and Garou is pretty cool too. It does feel a little all over the place but it is what it is. It does feel like Saitama is no longer the focus of his own damn show though.

I had so many good memories about Metal Bat's fight against Senior Centipede and Garou in the manga that I wanted to see way more of him as the chapters went by but watching it go on like this was kind of a letdown compared to how they handled some of the other previous fights which I really enjoyed. The source material was so memorable but I pretty much forgot about the fight the morning after I watched it. It's not like I hate it but it's pretty mediocre compared to the other stuff.

The tournament fights so far could've been handled a lot better too but I guess that it's just the beginning after all.

So just tell me straight does Saitama have a fight as epic as when he fought Boros ?? Or even when he fought Genos ??

Will he fight? yes, it won't be that epic but it's pretty good, the anime will handle it like crap though so don't expect too much from it. An epic fight like Boros? Nope, not any time soon. Saitama will have an epic fight compared to the likes of Boros but that's pretty much far ahead, that's season 3 and the manga is not even there yet, the manga still has a lot to go through to get there.

To anime only viewers expecting that fight in season 3 then you need to wait probably 4 or 5 years, just read the god-awful webcomic if you're desperate or read the manga since it's pretty damn awesome. Forget about the anime, this season suck ass.

Fuck you J.C Staff.

the episode had its funny moments but it's annoying that they give so much screen to random characters that I don't care about, if they are going to do that, at least they should give more focus to the thicc goddess Fubuki xd

Guys this was badly done by producers and sound director. Animators are not doing anything wrong, I think the producer just wants some MONEY and nothing else.


It's either a cash grab for the series owners or the anime committee.

Wonder how many sales the manga has now due to this season

Everyone is throwing shit at the fight, which, yeah, it was pretty meh, but if there's something that didn't let me enjoy the episode were the fast pace and the constant cuts. Like, this was already present in the other episodes but not at this level, it felt like they were trying to cram everything they could without giving the necessary time to each scene, many times it felt like one scene could last a few more seconds but it was cut abruptly and passed immediately to the next one.
And to make things worse there is the tournament, which I like the idea, but the constant and weird cuts make the two events that are happening at the same time do not flow properly.

Well, leaving that aside:

Damn, I know it's nothing new but Fubuki is so fucking hot, I love her.

I'm really liking Garou's character, I found him very interesting.

And it seems that next episode is finally time for "Angry loli noises", looking forward to it.

Saitama is funny as hell. Always redirecting insults to those around him XD

Glad to see Fubuki action! Hopefully they will animated it longer as well!

Metal Bat vs Garo was ace. I really wish they had kept Metal Bat's VA to Josuke from JoJo Part 4 like he did in the ASB and HOH games.

Can't wait for the next one!

Pretty OK episode. Not revolutionary good, but not bad either. I enjoyed watching it, though several previous episodes were definitely me entertaining.

Metal Bat it's surely strong after what he showed in his duel with Garou. Plus he is very durable guy. It was funny when Garou decided to resign from further wrecking of Metal Bat when this hero's sister appeared and ordered Garou to let it go, lol.

Metal Knight looked average with that metal gradient, but I will hold off on judging his appearance until seeing more scenes with him.

Good to know the tournament is finally on. I want to see more from Saitama disguised as Charanko. ;D

Everybody's going on about the animation, but the sound effects are really grating on me. It's difficult to describe the noise they're using, but every blow has this same low quality rumble sound. It's like there's one guy doing all the work, so nothing gets proper attention.

A bunch of events squeezed into 1 ep, but it can't be helped.

Garou vs Metal Bat was decent in terms of animation, but man the visual quality is baaaad. Garou's face literally changes into different forms throughout the fight!

Saitama is just chilling fighting these weak scrubs while the monster association is rampaging throughout the country.

This would be the perfect chance for Saitama to show off his power and easily defeat all the monsters, but he's busy lol, he's in a tournament right now.

With all these monsters appearing Saitama would have fun for days. The fight between Garou and Metal Bat was okay, the animation definitely lacked compared to last episode. Funny how Metal Bats little sister interupted the fight.

Bang is so heated up. I felt sorry for that monster he absolutely murdered.

Fubuki looks so fucking hot damn. Best girl for sure in OPM. I hope they explain at some point why these monster are after the leaders of the hero association.

Looks like the monsters are organised and fighting tactically, if only saitama wouldn't have entered the tournament, there probably wouldn't be such a big problem

The guy who's doing the sound effects was the sound director for Berserk 2016. So no wonder it sounds awful.

That explains a lot.

I have been kind of surprised at how this season has played out so far. Not only has it almost completely lost track of the heart of the first season (the parody and wit), when they have decided to include (the fights and hero association lore) doesn't hit hard at all. It's just bad direction and bad production values on every front.

Yeah it's the same insane loud almost distorted sound for every heavy impact ...

I found that endearing too. The rest were booing his master but Genos with a deadpan facial expression was in serious, rapid and automatic applause mode just for Saitama!

So there's a Monster Association as well? Hmm...

Garou surely hit his head hard when was child. He didn't continued when Metal Bats sister stopped them. He likes children of course. However Metal Bat getting stronger was nice. He was trying to defeat Garou but using the same fighting style. That's bad!! Didn't enjoyed that part.

Good thing the tournament started. Genos is also here. Saitama at least got one fan. There is no doubt Saitama will win but after the first win they just called the other guy weak. Still Saitama not getting praised even as Charanko.

The city is in huge threat but still they don't call all the heroes. I don't understand why Blast doesn't show up. Is he for just God level threat? And there is a association of monster and Garou the monster fan declining to be added. This guy surely lost his mind. But I still think who is behind this?

I think this is happening for the change of there studio. Maybe they weren't ready then but still published for fans. I hope the next season will do better on these things.

I guess as twisted as Garou's personality is. he won't stoop to killing his opponents (though he does brutally beat them) or letting monsters attack people that can't fight back. Guy's just fucking nuts.

Looks like the monsters are starting to get organized huh.

Okay so they're reeeeally showing it down our throats that this Garo dude is nOt SuCh A bAd GuY and that he's gOt SoMe MoRaLs, ok whatever anyways why does every fucking shonen need to have a whip lady GOSH. The bitch-slap at the end was funny & the animation and looks are fine as long as there is no metal or latex surface to animate.... And there is a lot of metal and latex surfaces.....
