Yeah i guess what im feeling is it seems like we're almost at that part.Garou arc went together with Monster hideout arc. I doubt they can put it in 10-15 episodes. There are some great fights in the underground as well

he's using parts from that robot he wrecked
I mean like the coloring on it or something looks bad. Like its smudged?
Seriously
OPM does get a bit more shounen with this arc, but I feel like the way the author handles this arc and resolves it is a lot better than other shounen shows.If it wasn't for the episode ending I'd almost believe this show had become what it lampooned.
Well here's hoping they can give a fun sendup of the obligatory martial arts tourney, so far I'm more ambivalent questioning the plot than I am about the animation.
I think the shift that people feel in this arc is from it moving out of the realm of "parody" and more into "deconstruction". They make good on the question of "what is the point of power", and actually go deeper on that in a way the first few arcs couldn't. the rules don't change: Saitama is invincible and powerful beyond reason. but moments where that is clear are not so much used as punchlines, (pun not intended) and matter more to the characters around him. And there's still a lot of funny moments.OPM does get a bit more shounen with this arc, but I feel like the way the author handles this arc and resolves it is a lot better than other shounen shows.
i think it comes across anyways tbh. he's clearly learning martial arts in order to fight garo, which is what makes the encounter at the end of the episode so hilarious.I really liked ep. 3 a lot, but I think they really shouldn't have taken out this bit of dialogue:
The "Until now, I've beaten most opponents with one punch" line is what gets Saitama actually interested in martial arts. In the anime, he just seems interested because he's interested, with no reason to believe it will actually give him the challenge he's looking for. Omitting that line was a blunder, IMO. Still, excellent episode.
Right, but without that line, he has no reason to believe martial arts is any more formidable than anything else. With that line, it's clear why he becomes hopeful about martial arts in particular: Someone else had their "one punch" curse broken by a martial arts master. So he hopes martial arts will break his "one punch" curse too.i think it comes across anyways tbh. he's clearly learning martial arts in order to fight garo, which is what makes the encounter at the end of the episode so hilarious.
I just don't think it necessarily needs to be that spelled out.Right, but without that line, he has no reason to believe martial arts is any more formidable than anything else.

That's why he gets hopeful for it; he hopes martial arts will break his "one punch" curse too.
It's not about spelling it out; it's about giving proper motivation. He sees all sorts of different fighting styles all over, and has seen heroes beaten by all sorts of different attacks; why does he suddenly seem to give special attention to martial arts? It's because someone who finishes off opponents just like him (in one punch) was beaten by it. That's absent in the anime; he's just suddenly interested in martial arts for seemingly no reason.I just don't think it necessarily needs to be that spelled out.
and we're back to the part where i say it already seemed clear he was interested in fighting garou because he gave a strong guy who was used to winning a lot of trouble, and hopes he will be the same for him.It's not about spelling it out; it's about giving proper motivation.

Saitama doesn't even know who Tank Top Master is, except "the guy who got beat up the most." He's just some rando who got beat up. The missing information is that Saitama now knows TTM's strong enough to defeat most enemies in one punch. In the anime, he doesn't know that, so shouldn't have a reason to think martial arts is special, since it's just some rando being beat up as far as he's concerned. Maybe you as the viewer connect the dots since you see TTM fight, but Saitama doesn't know, which is why in that manga panel he suddenly perks up after hearing that line.and we're back to the part where i say it already seemed clear he was interested in fighting garou because he gave a strong guy who was used to winning a lot of trouble, and hopes he will be the same for him.
we're going in circles here. I think the intended information imparted in that scene still comes across. it's ok if you don't!
that sounds like a very tiny nitpick in this of all shows.Saitama doesn't even know who Tank Top Master is, except "the guy who got beat up the most." He's just some rando who got beat up.

yeah, as a big OPM fan it's been a long while since the series was funnyThe latest issue of the original webcomic has the funniest page I've read in maybe 3 years.
I was honestly impressed by the CG animation. Maybe it's because the standards for CG in anime are so low but I think they managed to make it fit in well with the 2D animation.

Yeah same here, I am so happy its back
The most recent manga chapter stopped about halfway through chapter 62 of the webcomic.anybody know what chapter in the webcomic the current manga chapter is?
thanks, my good manThe most recent manga chapter stopped about halfway through chapter 62 of the webcomic.
This was another great episode but it's torture to wait a whole week for the next episode, which obviously is normal but it really sucks since the there were like 3 different plot threads in a single episode and that means things aren't moving that fast.
I'm liking Garou just as much as before.
Best news I've heard all day.
Okay with this current pacing I have no idea at what point they're stopping, current Arc isn't finished and it looks like they're going to pass the point they should have stopped at, this season is going to end right in the middle of an arc
