You know what, watching all the S-Class heroes bicker over every tiny thing, and then seeing someone like Child Emperor playing the adult in the room was honestly the most fun I’ve had with this season so far. And considering we’re already on episode six, that kinda tells where exactly the bar has been sitting. Seriously, the issue just hasn’t been cheap animation. It’s been equally bad direction as well, as yeah, when you read these normal conversations in the manga, it NEVER felt this stretched out or dragging.

That aside, King jokes just never get old, NEVER. The man doesn’t even need to open his mouth and people will crown him a legend on their own lmaoo. At this point, there’s no turning back lol. if someone like Amai Mask and Tatsumaki respects you, you’re basically in a divine tier of your own. Honestly, this is the first episode where it actually felt like, if the source is good, you’d really have to put in effort to mess up the adaptation.

It's getting there where people have now gathered. So yeah, more action will come, and we can already guess the kind of end result. Though hopefully, something will get better... HOPEFULLY.

putting aside the animation, i just think the episode is a little dialog heavy. the entire episode is just characters talking with not much happening

Seems like there are a lot of meeting in its third season. But they're quite important so it can't be cut out. But I'm glad that even a heavy dialogue episode like this still attract a lot of attention, hundreds of people suddenly want to comment as soon as possible, a record not seen in any other anime in years. I'm wondering if this success will guarantee a season 4 from JC Staff.

I wanted to see if this one was delayed, but it looks like just Crunchyroll doing it's Crunchyroll things (at least in EU), and it might be better for me to not see the new episode anyway.

at this point all episodes will have storyboards done by the main director aka hentai director (meme) so expect mid direction until the end of the season

Best anime ...

People you should understand OPM S3 is very different from S1

The story started with the one punch joke but it already got out-dated

you are pissed at the animation but even with insane animation you wouldn't really enjoy it unless you are only looking for action then go watch marvel movies

The S-Class heroes gather for their final meeting. Child Emperor insists on leaving the A-Class heroes on the surface out of fear of betrayal, but Sweet Mask refuses. Silver Fang would also stay out because he still harbors affection for his former student, Garou. But King, in his own hilarious fashion, pushes both him and Bomb onto the battlefield.

Meanwhile, Fubuki and Genos decide to stay out for now.… though I’m pretty sure Saitama is inside the monsters base.

The talking arc is finally over. If we’re getting 13 eps, the next seven should be pure action, even if they’re still warm-up fights. Sadly, the only real animated fight we’ve had so far was Garou’s back in ep 2 or 3 idk. Still, I’ll keep watching — just with lowered expectations. Maybe that way I’ll get surprised again, like I did in the last episode.
Dubious and honest analysis from neonerd.

Looks like we're gonna get into some real action starting with the next episode so that should be a doozy lol.
People on MAL refuse to actually enjoy watching anime.

Your taste in anime isn't a personality trait.

Genos is looking kind of evil with his new thorny-looking upgrade 👹

Another "not the best" episode. Looks like something may happen next episode though, so maybe they're alternating between full talking, and mostly action episodes 😬

You know, I already knew Season 3 was going to be a disaster anyway. So, might as well find the good side of things.

The meetup at Saitama's place was a bit funnier than it should've been due to its proper use of limited animation. Unfortunately though, every scene has limited animation. Look at how King turns from nervous into serious without any transitions. Comedy works really well because it's the least that requires good animation.

It just keeps getting worse... At this point its almost good just due to the sheer morbid curiosity and hilarity of how bad it can get!

Not only a full episode of chatter with even more crap pace than usual, but even with that they managed to scoff half the jokes, and fuck up the quality of still images... Amazing. And how they start playing the action music randomly every second mid dialogue when literally nothing's happening due to shit directing is just the icing on the cake lolol

The king moments are some of the best part of OPM.

Everyone respects King at least but also dude is just standing there while everyone else reaches their own conclusions without him doing anything lol.

I laughed so hard 😂😂. This episode got worse and worse in animation. At first I was saying "oh more still images and only mouths talking", and almost at the end of the episode it looked like a vintage game. The best moment was when Fubuki was talking to the others and then she moved like a cardboard to get closer to them 😂😂😂.

A lot of talking and nothing happened oh my. I laughed with everyone still thinking King is the best hero hehe, but I'm thinking that this might be cancelled at anytime, I don't think even Japanese people like this still animation...

Humble request to some manga reader tell me because I am not watching this, are they dragging out the conversation and meetings while skipping during fight scenes?

What they meant the quality the same as season 1 is the art not the animation frame lmao! Honestly, s3 by far has better art quality then s2, but animation frame? Absolutely terrible, I can withstand see the art, but I can't withstand with the animation frame. I better watch Ninja Kamui whole episodes than continue watching, though I still praise the animators who did worked really hard in a limited deadline.

Another perfectly servicable episode being hated on for the simple fact of being worse than one of the greatest seasons of anime ever made.

Good dialogue, funny, better directed than previous episodes. this season will be make or break depending on how the next episode is done. we need top-notch quality in the end here to counteract the low-budget slop of the first 4 episodes.

I heard this episode was directed by the same guy who directed Uzumaki Episode 2. I couldn't tell the difference tho. It looked just as shit as the previous episodes if not more. Unlike Uzumaki which at least had 1 decent episode. Decent because although it looked good, it still had super fast pacing which kinda ruined it. Tho Ig OPM technically had 1 really good season.

The only saving grace of this season is literally the voice acting. I like the joke about King being constantly misunderstood by his peers. And also both Tatsumaki and Fubuki getting ignored lol.

Oh well. It is what it is. I normally don't like to talk about ratings but it was never this easy to rate an episode 1/5.

I mean, this episode actually made sense, I'm already really happy with that.
The animation was non-existent, but the episode didn't have any fight either, so that's ok.

It's funny how King always ends up being misunderstood by others, and then everyone just thinks he's a really OP hero. I can totally understand why he feels uneasy going without Saitama, but thankfully, Saitama is already at the monsters association's base, so he will probably wipe out that pretty soon, and actually help Garou in that fight against that big monster.

Couldn't agree more, it really is the first episode that didn't feel choppy, the progression of the story actually made sense, and they showcased more of the funny setting the anime has, like the King one. It's incredible it's been 6 episodes, and this one was the best so far though.
The direction for this season is also really ruining the flow of the anime.
