The few last minutes were the only worthy parts of this episode sadly. It had incredibly wack sounds and the directing is so bland and predictable it's painful. Also, they never really animate proper movements of action. It's just either a still image with a bunch of sounds in it or a looped, 4 frame movement of the characters.

Honestly, without Saitama this show would be worse than your average action show. Thank god Saitama is in it.


Hhhh
This ep have good animation
You should watch well

I think Saitama is getting ignored too hard this season. It doesn't feel like one punch man anymore. The last minute or so was good tho.


Agreed.

Ngl, there's always been an element of Saitama not being around till the very end and focusing on the other characters because we know that as soon as Saitama arrives the situation is gonna be cleared up. This is a big element of the comedy we've learnt to love from it and gives us a chance to learn about other characters....

BUT...

these characters are just boring as hell... I couldn't care about them at all tbh because MOST of them are just so bland and boring... Compare it to the Sea King episodes. We learnt so much about these characters who became staples of that season and there was quite a few. This season I can't even remember names or faces that's how unforgettable they are. Saitama being unpresent is a running theme but his disappearance has always been carried by other interesting characters. These are not interesting characters.

If I had gone in this season not knowing this was One Punch Man I wouldn't of thought Saitama was meant to be the main character tbh.
All I can think of is Charanko, Genos and Stream. I don't remember the rest.

I'm not sure if it's because of the past few episodes being so disappointing and boring to go through but I actually enjoyed this episode a lot for once. There were definitely less stills and the animated fighting moves weren't all blurry messes like before. The sound effects are still bizarre but the episode was entertaining enough for me to give it a pass this time.

Despite being glossed over during the tournament itself, it's pretty nice that the fighters that ate the monster cells were given a lot more attention. That part where Suiryuu got backed up by Snek and Max to fight those Machine Gun Crows was really cool too. Gouketsu and Bakuzan looked decent and that's saying a lot for monsters like them.

That last frame with Saitama's quite lovely even if his appearance before that looked pretty iffy~

Solid episode!

Probably my favourite of this season so far (and I’ve finally caught up to proceedings) but that’s not really saying much considering how shallow this Season has been so far, to One Punch Man’s standards. Dope final moments though, can’t wait to see Saitama let loose! Pretty good buildup with Suiryu’s cries and just the overall tone of the whole episode. I wonder if Saitama will get to face that Bakuzan senior though but it’s probably more likely that we won’t until this Season’s finale, I suppose.

Ep8 fighting feels like DBZ tier of progress, almost too slow. Also the past couple episodes there aren't enough MC screen time, guess there's nothing to show anyway because things ends in a second with him.

Hey, the pacing is better than ep 7 at least.

Suiryu being tortured was fine, I guess.

Every episode I don't see One-Punch man one punch something I down rate this show a little more.

I seriously don't understand how its got such a high rank when Saitama has been pushed into being more of a special cameo appearance than the main character.

the direction of the episode is so baddd... :(( everything including bgm and music feels too bland. nothing stands out. sure, many viewers who came here might have read the manga, so however they direct the season, it won't change the narrative/story of the series. but why make anime if only for the story it tells?
if you want good story, read novel. if you want good graphic, read manga. anime is beyond that.

Oh man Suiryuu was so badass this episode, he's just earned a new fanboy.

Would be funny if he became a hero later on.

Liked the episode quite a bit! However....no one noticed that when Suiryu was getting beat up they used the M4A4 sounds from CS:GO?


I noticed it instantly (i have over 1000 hours in CS:GO) XD

It bugged me so much that it ruined the whole episode for me

Edit: This is a Comparison i've just made for the Sound effects:

this was BY FAR the most impactful episode of the season. it was truly incredibly well done. and once again it felt like a well executed wrestling angle taken up several notches. have to give big credit to both the writer and director on this one.

Damn Suriyus ass got beaten like crazy. Goketsu and the transformed Bakuzan are in an complete different league + he's human and they're monsters. I think he was surprised that even Snek and Max came back even if they knew they had no chance. I guess Suriyu will appreaciate heros much more in the future.

It's such an up and down with the animation within an episode. At some points you could really ask yourself if you're watching the same show. That hurts a lot if you saw the first season but nonthenless I like OPM as a whole and even the animation of this season won't change that.

Saitamas appearance at the end was just 10/10.

This was definitely a better episode over some of the previous ones. But it is starting to feel less about Saitama and more about other stuff like Garo or the monster invasion.

How the hell are they going to use gun sounds for the impact of the bird beaks ... it literally sounds exactly like the M4A4 from CSGO.

Serious mode for Saitama it seems.
Episode was actually alright, Suiryu definitely felt despair.

I love Watchdog Man!

Ah Suiryu got trashed...and "Caped Baldy" came like hero he is.

The Monster Association's lair is in the wasteland outside City Z, is that near the ghost town of City Z? ...because we all know by now who lives there.
You see there's no need to wonder where your god is,

Ah so now he wants a hero, Pretty boy is not laughing now. Thoroghly deserved beatdown. He was arrogant af.

Glad that all those (well most of those) selfish fighters got a thorough beat down after they traded in their humanity.

So did he really go home change into his hero uniform then come back to fight. I was wondering when, or if the Title Character and Hero who fights Monsters would deign to show up to fight the monsters in his own show.

Yeah, the first couple episodes were much better. I liked the whole Garou v hero's thing better than this monster invasion.

Okay that was too much. Saitama took too much time to be here. What in the world he was doing. I thought he was nearby. However Suiryo is saved somehow. I respect him. He didn't ate those filthy cells. Quite a show Goketsu.

Looks like only Saitama can defeat these monsters. There is some hope from Tornado, Metal knight and Drive knight. I wonder if Blast still comes out. This hero looks total waste even he is a Rank 1 class A.

The pacing was really slow this episode in comparison to the previous episodes. And I agree with people that Saitama doesn't get enough screentime, he's the reason I'm watching this after all. Though I guess that's the problem with overpowered main characaters. To show someone struggling, you have to give less interesting and weaker side characters more screentime which obviously takes away from the protagonist.

I'm guessing the reason Saitama took so long to show up was because he was getting his outfit from home but still lol. Those fighters and heroes got annihilated, plus a few ended up turning into monsters. Could've picked up the pace a bit man, we know how fast you can run Saitama.

Watching Suiryu get a chance to look genuinely badass before getting humbled really sold the impact of his helplessness at the end.

And the goosebumps from Saitama's arrival tho
