One Punch Man 2nd Season Episode 5 Discussion

Imouto to the rescue!



Fubuki appeared and every time I see her, I just wished she was drawn and animated the same as other characters were in season 1 lol I bet she'd look hotter. Looks like her older sister will be joining in next episode.

Saitama one slapped his opponent and the jokes around that scene did land, more so probably because there haven't been many jokes. I think people here are forgetting something, and you need to be reminded of it. One Punch Man is supposed to be a parody, a comedy first. This season feels more of a pure battle shonen. So try at least to understand some of the criticism because the charm this series had isn't really here now and when you add the downgrade in the visuals department, its really disappointing.

In saying that, I do feel people are overexaggerating.

I am doubtful they would let Genos watch a martial arts tournament, much less even still hold the tournament when nearly every city is being attacked. It feels like this episodes two plots are happening in entirely unrelated worlds.

The only way to stop Garo right now, other than to knock him unconscious, is to get a little kid involved. In this case, it was Metal Bat's sister and her words was powerful enough to make Garo lose interest in his fight and walked away. Either way, he was only one hit away from winning, but that was dealt embarrassingly by Metal's bat sister instead. XD

But the animation, for me, was as lackluster as episode 2. Character models were fine, but the movements and the huge use of blurring wasn't good at all. At least the CGI centipede still looked great in the few scenes it still appeared in this episode, though. =)

What I really want to see more of is the fighting tournament. Saitama is already through to the next round after simply slapping his opponent's face silly. Lucky for the guy that his girlfriend never turned up to watch his thrashing, lol.

The episode was frustrating, but it still had some good points. Hopefully, the rollercoaster animation quality will improve next time, or it could get worse, who knows.....

I don't believe next episode is going to be better. It's been getting worse since 3 and I feel that was the peak point for S2. Really, I honestly hope Japan listens to us and have a different studio do S2 all over again from scratch and make this non canon like they did with DxD Hero episode 0 (even though I hated Hero)

Developing steadily and as expected in a great fashion. Garo is being shown less and less a villain already. Not only he fights fair and square with opponents who match his strength (but not skill maybe), but he also does not get violent with unconcerned innocents and seems to have a sweet spot for children (maybe drawing lines with how he himself was a child before going through a pro-monster mindset), overall he himself qualifies as a hero. But most importantly he is starting to see the monsters he thought was cool and were worth fighting for. They are ready to attack children, have no reservations against finishing off injured and unconsciouss and overall are just disgusting. He explicitly says so. I am praising the author(s) for properly delivering the complexity of many characters here.

Excuse me this amount of preposterous banter is just piercing through all my pressure limits. Listen to whom, exactly? You, people who (have seen) third rate shows for thirsty adolescents and troubled adults, and then dare compare it to an intricate, fresh take on a superhero genre with proper symbolism and oustanding directing? The "me" before would have compared you to something extremely not insignificant, but actually harmful. The "me" after a weekly ban will let you know that you are deeply, profoundly misguided in your assumptions.

Another shit episode for this shit season. Ugh I keep thinking it can't get any worse and it does. Some people who like this must eye problems or really really low expectations.

Are we overexaggerating a lot here?

Supersky said:
Can we please just have a petition or try and get a hashtag going to get Bones or an actual competent studio to redo this season when it's done? Cuz I'm pretty sure it's just gonna keep getting worse from here and be a total disaster and ruin its brand name. Have someone else do a S2 remake but better, consider this as non-canon and then move on for the future

I enjoyed the episode to be honest, i have no idea why you little weebs cry so much lmfao. If it's so bad why don't you go join up with J.C.Staff and show them how much better you can do it? Dam kiddos

It's called critique, one doesn't have to be an expert at something to criticize it. You can see the uprpar against Sonic finally led to the director agreeing to correct the character design of Sonic, in the same way crititique only helps to improve a product.

Is it just me or is this season of OPM kinda off-putting? It's becoming more of a letdown as the show progresses.
