Legend of Galactic Heroes worked for me.

This episode was amusing. While Saitama is just wrecking everything, the guys on the ground are struggling with just one guy, albeit one of their strongest.

The team fight against Melzalgald was a highlight of the show so far. Watching the new Independence Day trailer immediately after this episode really sucked because the movie will never compare to this arc.

Also, LOL at Saitama's childlike glee when he hangs a left when he's specifically told to go right.

This and the ending were my favorite moments.

I am full of regret that this wasn't around when I finally got an Av, it's a work of art. If I somehow win the Royal Rumble Roulette and no one's taken it I'm picking it up.

This anime absolutely rocks, and it's renewing my appreciation for how incredible Murata is. I honestly can't rank anyone above him in terms of sheer complexity, detail, and variety. You have to figure OPM will end eventually, and I'm looking forward to whatever awesome thing he does next. It'd be interesting to see his take on a standard Shonen fighting series.

Strong episode. It did the manga Justice in pretty much every aspect, even managing to smuggle in some nice cameos.

I give it an 11/12.

The hype levels are going supercritical for the final.

Realtalk: I shouldn't make fun because I would legit recommend Cyber City Oedo 808 as someone's first anime, even knowing deep down that I'm being profoundly retarded.

On what planet is that a bad rec? Cyber City is entertaining, well-animated, and completely lacking in the bad kind of anime bullshit (and awash with the good kind- I love the episode that just has vampires out of nowhere for no apparent reason).

The most merciful thing in the world, I think, is the inability of the human mind to correlate all its contents. We live on a placid island of ignorance in the midst of black seas of infinity, and it was not meant that we should voyage far.

I think Naruto (around ep 35) was when I started regularly watching anime, I tuned in just in time for the chuunin exam elimination fights which was just an excuse to have like 5 episodes of nonstop battles. That show/manga was really good until Sasuke ran away :(

But OPM is really good all the time so w/e, to cover the entire Boros arc next week should be nonstop action, this is where all the Season 1 budget went :dance:

the long running shonen anime (filler included) doesn't seem to be a big thing anymore, since even One Piece has ditched that.

When did that happen? Has the anime returned to being decent again?

Isn't that because they slowed the episodes per chapter to an absolute crawl, i.e. something like three episodes for one manga chapter?
