One Punch Man 003

Episode was OK but I'm dropping the series at this point, with no desire to watch more. Why? Because I had already read the webcomic for this arc, and the manga version was MASSIVELY inferior to it.

For something of a timeline, not long after the 2015 anime, ONE stopped updating the webcomic and started writing filler for the anime. The (justified) fear at the time is he pulled a Nagaru Tanigawa - out of ideas but unwilling to break it to the fans. So he stopped actively working on the webcomic to progress the manga, and the filler stuff he wrote was low-quality, repetitive and actually detracted from the story.

Now, ONE has started to tackle the webcomic again, perhaps with a new burst of inspiration. I'm going to be skeptical, though. While I can appreciate an author willing to take a sabbatical or sort-of sabbatical to think new of new ideas *cough* Goblin Slayer's author *cough* it basically means the last two years have been worthless.

And I'm going to be highly skeptical of authors who take long hiatuses - it's becoming all the rage now, with Berserk and Hunter x Hunter having YEARS between releases and setting the standard for savant specials. Freaking just do it, please.

I downloaded some episodes for testing my internet connection and watched 'em to clear them out.

The Suiryu mini arc is really good. I was impressed watching it. Reminded me a lot of Licenseless Rider's battle against the Deep Sea King, but from another perspective.

That's about all that was improved from the webcomic, though.
