It's above average at best, unmemorable at worst. There's little to no action in the specials at all, and when there is it's nothing nearly as bombastic as the mainline series. While the art stays true to the original series, there's rarely a chance for Madhouse to really shiny when Let me clarify by saying that's about as far from my genre of choice as it gets, but I also feel it's far from the appeal of what OPM's mainline series was too. OPM specials feel like an episodic slice-of-life comedy. I don't know if it's just a product of the sometimes awkwardly translated subs these are coming out with, but I found the humour overall in these to be a bit drab. The OPM specials are worth watching, don't let my low score fool you. These specials might yet to be the best ones I've seen so far. These are a great follow-up to the main series. We also get glimpses of other side characters who have yet to be on screen in the specials (Tornado & Mumen Rider). The OPM march song is super since it has the specials lyrics sung by, for example in ep 3, Sonic.

Oh boy was that a treat!Īs OPM had great, absolutely awesome music, the specials don't fall too short with it's catchy ending song. Especially in last episode the whole (well, almost) S class was given screen time. They are the best comedians of the show and bring so much to the series. I love how the people around Saitama always over-analyze things, especially Genos and Sonic. The animation quality is great and super as in the main series also. I loved episode 3's parody on Ginga Densetsu Weed (the huntsman and Akakabuto, the one-eyed king of the mountains).Īs the specials main focus is more on comedy we only get to see the people around Saitama in all kinds of conflicts less than fighting monsters. As 6/6 episodes have aired, we have gotten some quality comedy with especially Genos. Genos, Sonic, Bang (later on the whole S class).


In the specials we follow the people around Saitama. I dare to say the specials have even better comedy and humour than OPM itself. OPM specials don't fall short on comedy compared to the main series.
