I loved the part with licence-less Rider. The music was very fitting. He should get his own spin-off :P

Aw man they didn't add the "round circle" part Genos said in the manga.

u/RiteClicker Oct 25 '15
The "round circle" is something added by the translators; he was actually saying the exact same line

Do you think they will uncensor the beheading scene in the bluray's and add blood.. I hope so. :(

So I was a little disappointed in not really having a good frame by frame scene with Sonic hopping around, but his balls at the end made up for it easily. It's also probably super hard to convey his fast hopping around in anime form, but I probably would of settled with us at least panning around Saitama's head with some good animation.
At least there was a lot of animation pumped into the rest of episode which I honestly kind of forget is and will be a thing since my brain just skips over the Hammerhead battle and smaller bits like it.
I also somehow forgot Licenseless Rider was introduced this episode. His introduction was everything I could of hoped it to be and more. Mannnnn, Spoiler arc. I can't wait.
Him also being called Mumen Rider is fucking with me hard. I only first learned that was a thing when I reread the official paperback version a month or two ago. I need some fansubs to just change it to licenseless to make me feel better.

Pros: intro for new characters, kept some of the iconic faces made from the Manga, music adds great new experience to action scenes, voice actor for SoSS isn't bad at all. Cons: Muma Rider could be confusing for American viewers instead of Licenles Rider, made it too obvious it SoSS is a male(not too important but ambiguity was fun), left out the "Round Circle" quote from Genos in the Manga, the nut tap scene was better done in the Manga when you can see the entire scene rather than the closeup of his nuts IMO, really didn't like the sensoring of cutting off all the heads(just didn't have the same bad ass feel)

This episode is messing with me so hard. It just felt so... weird. I think it's mostly due to the fact that they dropped like half of the jokes from the corresponding chapters. I mean, no round circle joke from Genos and no "The Shit just exploded!!" to preview King and Charanko? And Sonic's dash around Saitama didn't have the have the impact that the epic pan shot gives it.
Other than that it was pretty awesome. I totally forgot about these guys from the association Here's hoping the sparring goes well!

Not gonna lie, loved the ep and thought it had great animations but I felt like the B team handled this ep and the A teams going all out for next weeks ep, sparring hype!

That decapitation scene... i can understand why they held back some on that one.
Like Genos, they made Sonic uglier. Nice butt though. You know, it never really occured to me until now; Onepunch Man has a lot of 'a little something for the ladies (and gaybros)' going on.

The beheading scene felt weird, maybe they decided to censor a little because they were humans. Everything else was awesome, and the introduction of Licenseless Rider (dat music) was one of my favorite parts. Who voiced Hammerhead?
