EpsilonX said: Indeed I don't know what they want anymore 😂Season 1: "How can an anime have any stakes when Saitama just shows up and one punches everything to death? It's boring!" Season 2: "Nobody cares about any of these other characters, I just want to see Saitama kill things with one punch!" S2 is really so good 👌👌 |
| ah another bad animated episode. Saitama was looking like someone else at the end scene. |
 |
| I really felt bad for seryu when he was screaming for help and putting his usual pride and cocky attitude aside! I was kinda hoping for tornado or any other really strong s class hero to show up cuz you know saitama just gonna one shot this dude The animation in this ep was decent too! |
Raizel said: Best episode so far, so many great fight scenes and Suiru just asked for helped that was heartwarming, and finally Saitama is here but too late we gotta wait another week. Which anime is your sig from, it aint Mob right? |
soul_reaper_x said: I'd say watch the next episode atleast, since according to some sources, a certain animator is involved, so there's some looking forward to it. It's Saitama's fight maybe that's why. But....... Saitama won't do anything in the next episode aside of few lines and his "fight" against Gouketsu was happened off-scene. |
| The story is getting interesting, but the animation is getting worse, they ruined suiryu's fight scenes so badly |
 To-Do List:
|
| Unpopular opinion: I'm enjoying season 2 better than the first season. I think I like the content it's covering better. Sure the animation is better in season one but in my opinion I like the story better in season 2. I like how the episodes seem to follow one another with a main villian rather than having a brand new story each week 💯 |
| where the fuck is saitama? trash episode. who wants to watch scuffed kenshiro in a show called 'one punch man'? |
| Great fights, but the final was epic. Just another cliffhanger that makes me bite my monitor. :D |
Ushiromiya Battler, right now, on this island, no one exists except for you. You're the only one alive in this island. However I'm here right now, and i'm about to kill you. Who... am I? |
| Suiryu got beat pretty hard. Sure, he has been acting very arrogant and cocky all this time and seeing him struggle is satisfying, but he was getting shattered, having his arms broken, teeth being smashed out of his mouth, legs almost out of commission. It left him to cry out for help, anyone that could save him from impeding death. Seeing him crying as he shouted for help in his beaten-up condition was a bit hard to watch, I must admit. Luckily for him, Saitama arrives, in full cliched trope style, to save him. I expect the big guy to be destroyed quickly next time. As for the episode's production quality, it was still inconsistent, similar to a rollercoaster going up and down. Some scenes we had some nice animation and also a few frames with some great drawings. Other scenes, the animation felt choppy and some character's models looked bad. I'm expecting the next episode to have those same animation issues, again. I'm keeping my fingers crossed that there'll be a fight that can match the one from episode 3 in terms of animation quality, but we'll have to find out and see if one ever appears or not. Good episode, but still a slightly frustrating one. |
| It was pretty nice to see Suiryu getting fucked up and desperately asking for help. Saitama look pretty cool in the last scene |
SwagStn said: the way saitama appeared to save suiryuu's butt at the end was hype....xD I love how when he viewed by other people he turns into a badass |
| You know an episode is bad when it's clearly just a build up from the start. Just going to pretend this didn't happen, better will come next week. |
 |
| Having many flaws, it is still one of the better episodes this season. We get to see the effect of the monster transformation indicated in the last cliff hanger which hasn't been continued itself sadly adding it to the many useless scenes of OPM2 in hindsight. Garo's once again underwhelming appearance can be added to as well. However, the reveal of the monster's goals gives the story some structure and consequences, so the viewer understands the circumstances and seriousness of the monster attacks finally. Additionally, gaining strength by becoming a monster creates a situation involving moral decisions. This was handled very superficial this episode, but it helped to involve the viewer by thinking about different possibilities. The episode also benefited from the explicit showing of injuries. Although rather drastic for the show, the violence helped to portray the character change visually. Considering the almost non existing expectations I have for OPM2 any more, I found some enjoyable things, nevertheless, the episode is still far away from being a good one. |
| Everything about this season has been a huge disappointment for me. The animation, sound effects and the story. I'm tired of waiting for Saitama the whole time while seeing everyone get their ass beat. |
| The ending was just epic!! |
| The visuals and animation are not half bad this time tbh. Sure there's still some powerpoint animation here and there, but overall better than last episode. But what is up with their sound department? The punch doesn't sound like a punch, the blows doesn't sound like a blow, and the music adds nothing to the tension/feels of the scene. It's my major complaint with this season. MNafisN said: Dust_Eyezz said: me and my friend noticed as well, I thought I had my game opened. Lmao glad you guys noticed that too. That crow's beak had a funny sound effect. Seriously lol, what the hell? It's like some royalty-free sound effect shit. Is this done by a student or what? |

| This episode was hella boring tbh. I'm actually only interested in any of the characters of S1... idgaf about any of these random heroes and monsters... |

-Stray said: This was a good ep mainly cause of the content, Suiryu got his ass handed hard, Saitama to the rescue at the end was hype. Funny how I felt more impact reading the manga than how the anime made me feel, while there were some very few decent cuts, majority of the fight had no impact at all, Suiryuu's bones cracking didn't feel like shit at all. The girl he was asking out on a date tho was hot. I think its about time I drop this now, no point continuing the anime when the manga makes me enjoy the series more, the anime is just ruining my experience of pre-established stuffs. Thus with my final comment for OPM S2, I bid you all farewell fellow fans. I won’t blame ya. I honestly don’t think this season is anywhere near the worst thing ever, but clearly the visual and audio aesthetics are pretty much shambles compared to s1. |

| Intense episode! Goutetsu invasion scalated pretty fast, some fighters acepted it, just to not die! Suiryu was amazing defeating some of tranformed fighters, was really cool! Goutetsu vs Suyriu was really hardcore, Suiryu didn't stand a chance! Damn, Watchaman Dog is fast, maybe Garo you ghave soem problems! I felt bad for Suiryu, finally saitama is there for save him! |

Dust_Eyezz said: 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. Exactly how I feel about this season. And I'm one of those who doesn't really care about the change in animation quality. It's not horrendous and that's good enough for me. But the thing that 1st season had going for it was how ridiculously overpowered Saitama is, but also how clueless he was at every single moment. He'd meet various monsters, heroes, civilians, and things kept happening around him. He, however, was far too empty headed to understand many things. And that was the comedy. This silly, child-like guy, keeps getting into "trouble" and has adventures, meeting tons of interesting side characters. This season, on the other hand, turned him into interesting side character, while the world is being explored. Nothing bad in that, except it's fairly generic world. It's a world of heroes and monsters. Oh, and there's also one super overpowered guy called Saitama living in it, shows up from time to time. I'd still rate this show with a decent 6, but it's a far cry from first season. |
| https://imgur.com/a/sPn8MpB This scene was so funny.Anyway,that monster pill became a huge thing apparently.I wonder if a hero will take it in order to become much stronger,but stil staying by the side of heroes!Gotta watch for that! |
Come on man,where is that Noragami season 3 masterpiece.We want it, Bones! |
| Some of the worst sound effects I've ever heard. Reminds me of the sound effect that was played when you stepped on civilians in GTA 3. |
| Saitama is a supporting character in his own show. |
| This episode covered some of my favorite material from the manga and... I actually thought J.C. Staff did a pretty good job. Sure, the animation wasn't superb, but I never really cared for the action in this part of the manga. I actually liked the complete sense of despair that Suiryu (and also the other fighters, but mostly Suiryu) experienced. Saitama's appearance at the end was also brilliant. 8.5/10 episode, in my opinion. Something I think they did wrong, excluding the easy to poke at animation style, was: Quick edit: This is probably a controversial opinion here, but I'm seeing some people complain that Saitama is getting ignored in his own show. And while it seems like this is the case, don't forget that this sort of happened in the manga too (although it was less noticeable because the manga had better pacing). With characters like Suiryu and Garou getting their own character arcs, the source material itself didn't focus on Saitama this season nearly as much as the last season. |

| I can't believe people actually thinks the fights are well done. It's a one big joke in term of animation, ah screw the animation, it's terrible in every aspect. |
| Great episode! Fighting sequences were really cool and enjoyable to watch. Their animation was very decent as well. Suiryu fought well, but it appeared to not be enough to beat Gouketsu. He is a beast! His skills are really something. He reminds me of Boros, although I do know he is not Boros or his incarnation. xD It was sad to see beautiful and smiling Suiryu on his knees, laying wounded, with broken bones and with despair on his face instead of smirking. Good that Saitama answered his call for help. I wonder if Saitama vs. Bakuzan is gonna be quite long, because if Saitama will be serious, then Bakuzan is smashed in a jiffy. What I think was the worst was the sound of some punches. It was not bad, but average, while the rest of audio had better quality, at least in my oppinion. Farabeuf said: Adnash93 said: I haven't seen this episode yet, but I really need to ask one question, just from pure curiosity: did Puri Puri Prisoner finally appear in it? No, not yet. Thanks for your answer. I hope we will see him soon. He actually appeared in this episode, but only as a slideshow for a very short period of time. It appears Puri Puri Prisoner-chan is wounded. :( That slideshow proved monsters' uprising as something serious, happening for real and being on at this particular moment of a story. Anyway, I can't wait for episode 9! As I understood from the last scene (kinda) of episode 8, Sonic will appear. I hope we will be able to see Saitama vs. Bakuzan duel as well. |
| FINALLY, God dang, that was getting rough to watch, I was waiting for Saitama to come back, but it felt so slow watching the dude get smashed so much. Animation wasn't bad, it was actually pretty awesome, though of course there were a few scenes that felt pretty lazy or off, but that's to be expected this far into the series. |
