This season is shaping up to have a superior story arc to season 1. Quit complaining about how 'oh if they could have animated it like the first season...". The animation is fine and the sound is arguably even better.

One of the best episodes so far
igalfriedman29 May 2019
This is in my opinion one of the greatest episodes so far.
Story wise, one of the best compared to all the series including season 1.
Animation, Its not bad at all. Sure its not Season 1 level, but it was actually surprisingly fine this episode, no complaints at all.
Audio was fantastic.
10/10
Oh Come on.

How in the world do you people even giving a less than 10 stars to this episode?
Animation? LOL. Who cares animation. Did you guys even watch the episode?
"I'm hero." "I heard you call for help, Suiryu. It's ok. You did well. I'm here now." this few seconds deserve 10 stars alone. These few lines wraps up this whole anime.
What a episode!!!!

What a great comeback!! First the 7th episode and now this.The drastic drama alongside suiryu really nailed it. Looks like the story has now start to build up. I really enjoyed it. However if the animation were little bit more good this could have been the best episode of season 2. Overall this was a good episode.
Great build up

Story is awesome....animation not so much

This was the first episode to rub me the wrong way with the animation. The story in this episode was fantastic, but having what seems like an uninspired team drawing this stuff up it's really hard to appreciate the amazingness the writers are trying to give us.
wow

Frustrating

I am so disappointed for not getting to see saitama fight in this season. Every episode i feel more and more frustrating that saitama is not available in any fight. The season is about to finish and there is not any satisfying scene of saitama.
Too less of the actual plot
souravsahadx29 May 2019
Firstly,the show is like 20mins and only 13 episodes in total. Till date the 8 episodes, Saitama the actual one punch man was absent 75%. The person whom the story surrounds isn't even getting any plot. The 8th episode was completely without the actual one punch man.
If you are keeping the series into 13 episodes or less, then either keep a good plot or you can keep going with loads of episodes like Dragon Ball Z series and take it slow.
Pointless

Worst episode of the series
sbowdler-452209 April 2020
This whole episode was a waste of time and I can't believe people are saying it's the best one, let alone a good one. Saitama shows up in the last few seconds, the rest of the episode is posturing and weak development of characters we literally just met. THE WHOLE POINT OF THIS SHOW IS THAT IT'S THE ANTI-ANIME. Until now, the show has poignantly subverted expectations of anime, but this episode fell backwards into a deep pit of cliches and boring dialogue. If I wanted to see great choreographed action I'd watch a different anime. Unfortunately, this episode became exactly like all other animes, with weak character development of characters which I cannot believe they actually want us to care about. The trope of the main protagonist showing up just in time to save the day (WHERE WAS SAITAMA THAT WHOLE TIME BY THE WAY? WASN'T HE AT THE TOURNAMENT WITH THEM WHEN THE MONSTERS SHOWED UP?) is hastily plopped in at the last second, and does not inspire hope for the series in its construction. By far, the worst and most pointless filler episode (or episode period) of the entire series.
I hope.
I really hope.
I hope.
I really hope.
Great developments and story building
aenapato29 May 2019
The animation remains average however. Also did not like the cliffhanger, too dramatic for OPM. It hurts to know how good the animation would and could have been, having in mind the previous work.
Lets ask for the minds of season one to grace us by returning for season three, if it ever gets made, so OPM can again clam the spot as the best anime ever created.
Meh..
sondrelarsen-673022 June 2019
Yet another disappointing episode.. one of the better episodes in season 2 and that says it all!
The story was good, but just like the whole season up too this point it's missing Saitama. I watch One Punch Man to see One Punch Man and in this episode he was on screen for maybe a whole 10 seconds.. the series has gone so far down hill from season 1
Saitama saving everything in the last 15 second. AGAIN. Ok, I understand.

Very Disappointing

Warning: Spoilers
I know they're trying to create a more engaging story but the fact that this season up to this point Saitama has basically been doing nothing but walk around is very disappointing. I get the angle that it would be boring if he was in most of the fights but you don't create tension by hiding Saitama from most of the show. This episode has made me want to stop watching. Unlike others I did not enjoy the final 15 seconds as he should've been there 10 minutes ago. Why is he even a hero if he doesn't notice half the city or half the stadium he's in is being destroyed? Sairyu had more hero in him this episode than Saitama all season.
