Huh, the OVA with Volume 10 of Murata's manga version of this is rumoured to be 30 minutes long.

As a non-reader, I thought the split after the the Sea King KO was brilliant. It does a great job of playing with expectations.

Agreed, it drives the point home harder that Saitama isn't getting the recognition he deserves. It does lessen the impact of Saitama downplaying his recent victory though. Apples and oranges I guess!

Like, this is the only point of the anime so far that is arguably not on par with people's skyhigh expectations, and even then it's debatable if it's worse or not.

Have you heard the Good News?
I used to read the Murata re-draw with some regularity, but stopped because of the erratic update schedule and such. While the manga did a spectacular job conveying motion and delivery, the anime's done a great job of keeping things kinetic and visually engaging while also relatively easy to follow. I like Genos's fight scenes in particular in that he seems to have real momentum and physical presence relative to what I'm used to seeing in anime; in the episode where he fights the Armored Gorilla, at one point he gets thrown back/jumps back/whatever and lands, and you can see and hear him taking a bunch of steps to accelerate back toward his opponent but he can't right away - he's just fighting against the slide of his feet against the pavement, so he just sorta runs in place, like trying to go up the down escalator. I also like that he uses his hand-blasters to manipulate his momentum to either accelerate or spin; the anime has done a pretty superb job making Genos in particular come off as visually spectacular, which is making me appreciate him a lot more than when I read the manga. When he's the Eternal Straight Man in a cast of characters that is otherwise pretty diverse and interesting, it's important to give him an opportunity to shine, and if it isn't via jokes, it ought to be with the shounen fight-mans times.

License-less Rider is still the best, though.

The OVA included with Vol.10 has English subs out now. They're not super good though and I don't know if it's okay to link to them.

Yeah, it was not very good at all, especially compared to the pacing and quality the rest of the anime has been setting. That was 15 minutes that easily could've been 5 minutes, or possibly even less. It just wasn't a strong enough side story to carry that run time, not even close.

HOW DOES IT FEEL TO BE DEAD, MOTHERFUCKER?

The OAV isnt bad at all if you are into the series.

the hilariously bad hero concept, which fits perfectly into the OPM universe, was pretty funny as well as how Saitama handles it in classic saitama fashion "Thanks, but no." Plus this is a really funny setup, that Saitama used to live in a hive of scum and villainy. This is the apartment thats still standing after the meteor hits, the one he gets kicked out of. I mean its hilarious, he gets rid of all his landlords tenants for bounties to pay for his rent, thats the best.

The OVA's problem is actually that it's too much OPM. It'd work better at 15 minutes or a little less. The BD OVAs are said to be around that length so they should be better.

Saitama rips his track suit, so he takes it to his tailor. His tailor tells him to get a proper suit, but can't do it himself because he is closing shop due to loans. Saitama goes to the loan agency to find they are charging criminal rates, then shuts them down and turns them in for the reward. It turns out the criminals were living in the same apartment he lived in, and they were bribing his landlady, so Saitama gets kicked out of his house. In gratitude, the tailor makes Saitama his super suit that he has been seen wearing ever since.

It's a solid concept for a story but could've been executed a lot better in a shorter time frame. The jokes are really padded out and it ruins their delivery.

The OVA is 15 minutes. It would be better if it were only like, 5 or 6 minutes.

vvv oh would you look at that, I wasn't even paying attention. Yeah that probably has even more to do with it, this side story was NOT worth an entire episode's time.
