Friend those scenes were pulled directly from the manga-even the artstyle... This "cliffhangar" you're on about,again it's exactly how the scenes goes down in the manga.... You're missing the meta of the story. |

Superalloy Darkshine, that's his name, get it right, is a character that first appeared on episode 10 of season 1 of One Punch Man, doing also a cameo on episode 2 of that season. Being surprised at this point is a bit late. It's not up to you to say what's acceptable for an artist to do or not, regardless of history. If every snowflake supporting every cause draws the limits on what people can do, people will not be able to do anything. Spend less time being offended at characters and pictures and pay more attention to the anime. This is me, one person, demanding better from our reviewers. |

Darkshine is my favorite character. I love him and I'm glad ONE and Murata keep using him.

I don't know how the timeline works but I am pretty sure he is a jab at terraformars.
It's worse because the manga made a point of saitama being very excited over the idea of fighting garo.
id' rather get a bunch of epsiodes of saitama, king, genos and fubuki hanging in saitama's apartment... IIRC that happens quite often in the manga but they skipped that for the anime. |

On episode 11:
I could not disagree with the reviewer more on the opening fight. It felt extremely cheap to me, like all the teamwork the heroes displayed in the previous episode, the poison, and Garou's injuries no longer meant anything because the plot said so. The previously so professional heroes decided to spend time talking instead of disabling him immediately. Gatling just stood there for most of the fight despite being able to shoot at him at basically any time. It just felt like the writer wrote himself into a corner and needed Garou to get out of it no matter what. I will concede though that the animation in this episode was a good improvement, and the writing picked up in the second half, but the beginning ticked me off to no end. |

Saitama is welcome to stay in the sidelines more often as long as Garou holds the spotlight.

Season 2 feels like Saitama is getting DNP's most of the time.

I know that animation problems were inevitable this season, but I find it sad how they didn't even try to improve on the plot of the source material, which was a complete mess in terms of structure. Then again, they probably didn't even have time to do that.
Either way, we ended S2 is quite an awkward place, didn't we. I didn't like how early in the episode Garou was taken out of the picture, and I agree with the reviewer that once he was gone it was hard to care for the fight against Centichoro. Ironically, that wasn't a problem in the manga, since when fights lack emotional weight, Murata makes up for it in pure and absolute spectacle. But Season 2 cannot pull that off, so we ended up with a kind of mediocre fight scene. Oh well. Looking forward to S3 and more Garou (and hopefully an improvement in animation) |

The only good thing this season had was Garou. And even if I like Garou, I still don't think I would recommend this continuation to anyone, it was just that messy. Sticking with the first season is enough to experience about 80% of what OPM had to offer narratively, so I don't really see much point of someone going through this just to see Garou. It seems like this would be continued in a third season, but I don't think the problems this season had could be resolved easily...

I can't seem to like Garou as much as most people. It is hard for me to not think his "fighting for the little guy" schtick is more than a little hypocritical given that he is a literal superhuman who still took the time to repeatedly slam Mumen Rider's face into the ground, and he is just a normal dude on a bike, who also happens to be one of the sweetest people imaginable.
The thing about OPM is that it is heavily critical of the beurocracy behind the heroes (and society at large I imagine) and while there are some heroes who are cold or even pretty vile, the individual heroes themselves are mostly stand-up people. Even Snek who was introduced as a rookie hunter will stand up against a monster he knows he can't beat to give a guy who humiliated him a chance to escape. Garou isn't actually doing anything against the system of injustice he hates, he is just hurting good people working within that flawed system. Overall I still quite like this season, the obvious drop in animation quality didn't bother me nearly as much as the out-of-control pacing, but there was still a good story at the core and more than a few genuine showstoppers. I hope we get more. |

The fact that I didn't realize that I just watched the season finale until seeing this review speaks volumes of the quality of the episode and the season as a whole. Yes part of the issue is simply the point at where they decided to end the season, but almost nothing about it screamed "last episode" to me. What, did they expect me to think that after the major dip in quality that they can trick us with a decently animated one as the high quality finale?

Count me in on the (few) folks who don't care much about Garou. His backstory is not really that original and his OP-ness is second only to Saitama which makes it hard to really consider him the underdog...gimme more Saitama/King SOL instead!
