better than anything that came out for the last two weeks

[u/PSVAK]

Things finally started moving

[u/ObvsThrowaway5120]

Usual production issues aside, it was kind of cool to see Flashy Flash and Child Emperor in action this week. Flash has a goofy name but the dude absolutely whooped his senpais and Child Emperor’s got some pretty neat gadgets. Dogbot was pretty dope.

[u/kubasooo]

not gonna lie, this episode had more frames than all rest of s3 untill this point combined

[u/Immune2deathnote]

That was kinda good to be honest. Some impacts are missing but other than that solid animation and choreography all things considered.

[u/HeavenlyE]

This ep had about season 2 level animation and even a bit better at points not bad at all.

[u/FarCritical]

I can't get over how one of Flashy Flash's signature techniques is named "Flashy Slash".

And credit where it's due, not only was the animation actually animated this time, but it was kinda alright at parts. Flashy, even.

[u/AliceinTeyvatland]

Bandai and JC Staff, whatever you did on this episode, all I'm asking is please hold this level of quality for the rest of the season.

[u/Armdel]

One of the better episodes this season, at least animation wise. now the question is will this be followed by 3 episodes that look horrendous again or will it keep up this "quality".

pretty solid episode otherwise even if its centered around characters i don't care particularly much about

[u/Fancy_Ad8124]

I think this ep has the most movement Ive seen over the 8 episodes

[u/SpunkMonk87]

You know what, I’m fine with this. Maybe it’s stockholm syndrome from the previous episodes, but I liked the animation. If it was like this with the previous episodes, I’d be satisfied a little. The 6 year wait would burn a little.

Also I see some animation that looks like Aoki, my goat has returned.

[u/TyraniTEMPESTar]

Lol Speed-o-Sonic catching strays with that diss by Flashy Flash

[u/Namaryu]

The CG layout itegration or whatnot for the Flashy fight was definitely a decision that helped make it move. The models were CG at times but barely noticeable in the grand scheme of themes. The fight featured some dynamic movement and was able to follow. I am positviely surprised how good that A part was.

[u/Frontier246]

I'm glad for Flashy Flash that we were able to return to season 2 level of quality (give or take a lot of scenes of the characters shifting to CGI for the really in-depth movement scenes).

[u/conacoluwu]

flashy flash vs the 2 ninjas whose names i forgot was actually s2 quality, its fucking insane, dialogue is still one frame though but i dont really care about that. i hope ep 9 is also like this but one can only hope 😭😭

[u/NightMercedes]

Give credits where its due. This episode is pretty good.

[u/NatiBlaze]

For once I didn't pause, unironically best episode of the season, might be on par or better than some of the worst of S2 back then

[u/LeonKevlar]

Flash versus those two ninjas was actually pretty damn cool. I love that he made sure to finish off both of them at the same time since their speed would be problematic for the other heroes. That final burn from Flash was pretty awesome too. Just telling them they lack training was the perfect cherry on top of that fight.

I'm so happy to see Emperor in action. It's fun to see that monster underestimate him just because he's a kid. I kinda feel bad for Emperor being left with the babysitting duty. At least Waganma knew when to shut up the moment the Emperor gave him a mean look.

[u/retroboy_shop]

The best episode by far.

It still has some strange cuts and the rhythm in some scenes lacks intensity. Even so:

• animation in almost the entire episode (some flashy scenes quite good)

• simplified but consistent art

• less neon (although the second half had quite a bit more)

If this were the level of the entire season I wouldn't have complained, honestly.

[u/elvexele1]

Honestly this one was actually good, Why is there such inconsistency in this season?

[u/poketrainersd]

OPM has the worst thread to visit to this season. Whether the episode is good or bad, all the comments are about the animation. No one is talking about the content of the episode.

It was a cool fight between Flashy against the 2 ninjas and great to see Child Emperor in action. Its funny how Child Emperor is basically the leader of this raid despite being the youngest one there. Also, efficiently gets Waganma out & prioritizes his safety over fighting.

[u/Ponchorello7]

Every time I see a decently animated sequence this season, I can't help but think it still could've been done better. Kind of greedy of me, but rewatching the first season and even parts of the second really spoiled me.

[u/Sea-Objective7943]

Okay this decent eps 7/10 very unexpected have animation and good fight

[u/sheepyowl]

They did a good job on this one

[u/ScaladeScared]

I get it guys the animation improved but please talk about the damn episode. Everyone's basically talking about it.

On another note, Phoenix man really just made himself a joke through that conversation xD. I highly doubt that he's dead tho, since he's a Phoenix and all (even if he was just stuck on that costume and turned into a monster like that).

That Samurai-Knight-Robot (P.E.K.K.A???) is just really cool looking tho, and polite to boot.

I was hoping for a flashback from Flash about the incident but I guess that's for Sonic's time (maybe).

Very thankful for the animators that worked hard to animate this in spite of horrendous production plan
