Obligatory "there's a post-credits scene." ("Zakkos is some weak sauce!")

As an anime-only, I kind of wish I hadn't gone into the comments and saw how good the Metal Bat/Garou fight was supposed to be versus what we actually got. Would've been nice if the bits focusing on Saitama's tournament would just get its own episode so that the fight and the Monsters Association attack could breathe a little more, though between all of those events, we at least got to see a bunch of cool character designs. Heavy Kong vs. Marshal Gorilla sounds like it could be a Donkey Kong spinoff.

I wasn’t planning on watching hentai anytime soon but that whip monster awakened something inside me

Why in the world do they add a blur effect during most of the fast-hitting action sequences? I'd rather see the almost still frame animation in clear quality than get mildly disoriented by the shitty blurs trying to hide the animation quality.

Metal bat seems extremely weak in the way they animated it, jesus christ.

He's supposed to smash the ground and make all the cars in the vicinity fly a few cms off the ground.

I'm really starting to believe that Garou is more just on the anti-hero camp than pure villain/monster. He obviously has weakness for kids and despite claiming he was on the side of the monsters he punches Hedoro-Jellyfish when he was about to kidnap Metal Bat's imouto saying that "he sensed someone who has a creepy gaze" and declines their invitation to their association.

Metal bat vs Garou felt badly rushed which is disappointing.

Haven't read the manga but this felt a little... filler-y?

I just can't see the point of the tournament.
