Well, this episode is quite decent. It was satisfying af, and the animation was much much better here than the rest of the series. Garou's fight against the Class A heroes was the bomb. Genos showing up too with his newly-fixed body. The fights were intense.

This episode alone felt like nearly close the 1st season. Too bad it cannot save the rest though.

While the anime adaptation was pretty mild compared to the manga, it was done better than the other episodes by far, imo. Garou being developed as a tragic character is a nice way to integrate him into the flowing narrative to juxtapose against Saitama (The other tragic character). Next episode will be insane, but I still think that its going to be really rushed; moreso now than ever. So many chapters to cover in so little time.

We don't know what kind of people we truly are until the moment before our deaths.
As death comes to embrace you, you will realise what you are.
That's what death is, don't you think?

I wonder if they are going to be able to wrap up this monster association arc before season end.

The Garou arc won't end here until Season 3/4 and this season will ended at cliffhanger.

Nope, the last episode will be Genos, Bang and Bomb vs Elder Centipede.

OMG! An episode as good as episode 3. Actually, I'd say it was even better than ep 3, making it the best episode of the season! Way to go, J.C.Staff.

Man, 1 episode left. I hope there's a season 3, and I hope it doesn't take too many years for the third season to come out.

This was admittedly perhaps the best episode of the season so far, considering the standards of the entire show so far.

Garou was hella tenacious. He's a beast. It was awesome seeing Genos back in action as well.

My problem is: how are they gonna finish this, exactly?

Dropped this on episode 7, but seeing as how this was a full fight episode I watched it.

Pretty funny I can understand everything without seeing episode 8-10.

Decent animation, and the best episode of the season.

The first above average episode which makes me happy to watch the finale.

What in the fuck are these sound effects though? Whoever did this needs to never find work again. Apparently its the same person who did Berserk(2017) so they should have never found work already...


You missed the ending of the tournament, which was pretty good imo. Not as good as this episode, but certainly more interesting than the first half of the season.

Also, unrelated: What the heck is sakuga? Is it just a weeb term for "animation" or is it something more?

While the sound effects on some of the attacks were laughable this episode seems to have the most effort so far put into animating the action. Almost hopeful that they can end the series on this same quality or better..almost.

Genos standing back was meme worthy.
Saitama picks all the ugly/monster characters while King picks the cutesy ones in the fighting games. Saitama also confirmed to be a button masher.
Little kid saw Garou in negative light despite Garou saving him.
Bang finally catches up to Garou, next episode will be good if they do their exchange right.

Great episode with huge amounts of action!

Damn, Garou did everything he could to protect that kid, yet the kid treated him like an enemy. It shouldn't be something strange for Garou who wants to become a monster, but stil... :/ Also, we could see several small, but cool details about Garou's past when he was a kid himself.

Garou was amazing in every fight (which looked decent, by the way). After all those Class A heroes and Genos, he is still able to stand against his former master who seems to want to end everything in a classical way, I mean by his own hands. After all it's his former student that caused all this ruckus.

The worst element of this episode was some sound during fighting sequences, mostly when they punched each other, but it occured earlier as well. I guess we need to treat it as a part of this Season, lol.

Ayyy, one episode left. :( I hope we will get Season 3 one day.

@Spiryts , oi, that was the clue of this episode. Garou used his will of survival and of wanting to prove so bad that "heroes aren't so cool" that he was able to overcome everything and make it that far. If he was not motivated enough, then defeating Class A heroes would be his limit after which he would've simply collapsed.

so Saitama spent the whole episode losing at video games. Garo beating up on a bunch of wimps is not impressive. He clearly can handle certain Class S heroes when he knows their attacks. His ultimate goal is unclear He is not a real monster and does not want to join the monster association. He just wants to beat the heroes If he does what will he do then he really does not want to kill humans like the monsters doe

Anyone know why Garou's hair changed to red all of a sudden?
ignore all the comments about him changing into a monster (that’s symbolized by his eye). It was the blood he wiped in his hair. It was portrayed pretty badly in the anime but the manga does a good job of showing it.

First half of the ep was a slow, slow disappointment. Second half had half a glimmer of hope. But this is way too little, too late. I'm not even mad about the animation. I'm just disappointed at how unoriginal the presentation has become. Now they can't cram all the boss fights in ep 12 like they've set up the season for. Perhaps the worst disappointment is yet to come.

Be a better consumer.
"Look, the main difference between me and Digibro is he still likes anime."
"I can't identify with this dirtbag of a main character" is not a valid reason for hating a show.

Finally an episode with plenty of action and relatively better handled animation. If there is one thing I can acknowledge with J.C. Staff is the choice sound effects of the fights which sort of compensates for the step down in animation compared to Madhouse.

And me seeing Bomb's slicing technique be like:
"NANTO SUICHO KEN!!" lol

One episode remaining, so it will likely just end with the Student-Teacher fight/moment of Bang and Garou and probably ending with a cliffhanger for the S-Class v Monster Association arc. Bummer.

My complaint as always is that they interject to much dialogue that they could have cut much to improve the pacing. Its almost the studio intentionally put so much dialogue each (and even entire) episodes just to avoid animating fight sequences.

Well Garou's motivation comes from him idolizing monsters which is the reverse of the mainstream ideal of idolizing heroes. That was hinted as a child watching TV when he tends to root for the monsters being defeated by heroes.
He actually has a good (hero) heart but just happens to root for the wrong team (monsters) which will be realized by the end of his story.

His journey to power actually draws parallels with Saitama's in that he keeps pushing his limiter until it breaks.

I'm very aware of that, but still, for me he and his motivations are still the worst so far in OPM, just when I thought that no one will beat amai kame, garou step in on stage.

No problem. It might look like that, but let's not forget this show, apart from having tons of action, is a comedy and a parody to "super heroes" theme. That's why such bizarre and maybe even naive situations might happen.

I must admit. This is also unfair for Garou's part since he obviously hasn't recovered from Saitama's punch. lmao! And then there came a bunch of heroes who weakened him, then also Genos and to put icing on top, Bang arrived to fight him! haha!

The funniest thing is that Bang wants to settle up things with his former student as his former master because of honor, but at the same time he has no problems with Garou being seriously sounded and weakened after dealing with several determined Class A heroes and Genos (Class A) in that condition.

I don't think Garou is Gary Stu type of a character in general, though yes, I agree that if we look at episode 11 alone then we can have an impression of Garou wearing the famous "plot armor" and being suddenly overpowered way more than he even way in earlier episodes.

It happens in many animes, though. It could be worse. Anyway, despite episode 11, Garou is not Gary Stu. I hope he won't become one in general in the future, like in Season 3.

Genos fight is fun to watch as always. Make rest of the fights feel 'meh'.

Ep12 climax should be have satisfactory fights but feeling there won't be a conclusion with Monster Association until a S3 or S2 part.2, i'm expecting a cliff hanger.

I didn't read web manga, just check what people "spoiler" and wiki, because after all that with garou, I was like "phi, whatever" and... it's the end station for me, just one more ep, and I'm done with this series.

Really fun to watch. That was the 3rd good episode (and the last) since the beginning of S2 I'd say.

The finale will be okay at most. As it won't have much humour (if any at all), nothing from S2 will be resolved and there'll be no satisfying point for a season finale.
