I suppose next up is the battle with Rhino.
I can't wait for their reactions towards Saitama's training.

Interesting. What worked for you?
As I stated before, the first episode used characterization that was completely and utterly dropped once the story started to find its legs. Here we have the actual Saitama characterization, which makes everything a lot more enjoyable

Fair does. For my part I enjoyed the introduction of Genos because it promises some actual tension further down the line, and because he's a fine foil to Saitama's wackiness.

Heh. So Saitama has an apprentice now, it seems. I liked how he completely ignored the threat of the lion thing in favour of dusting out his belt, not to mention how he spent much of the first half of the episode trying to catch a very tough mosquito.
...Wonder if the mosquito lady would have been a threat to him, actually? If she set the swarm on him, she might have ended up winning due to blood loss.

Yes, it's highly unlikely. Still, environmental threats could still harm Saitama from what I've seen of his abilities thus far, as he doesn't seem immune to suffocation or extremes of heat and cold as of yet. He'd probably dodge if the bugs swarmed him, but I still think it's possible, however unlikely, he could die from blood loss.

Do you mind spoilers?
It's a serious question, cause I don't want to ruin your fun when you get to some awesome parts.

I don't object. Will probably end up forgetting them in a week anyway.

Saitama was blown towards the moon.
Don't worry, he simply jumped back to Earth.
Let that one sink in for just a moment.
Was that a smack or Saitama accidentally overshooting a jump? Been awhile since I read that part.

Someone actually hits him.

Punched in the gut by that Boros guy.
Its noted he still felt the need to hold his air in space so suffocation is a possibility.
That said, it shouldn't be odd to assume his lung capacity is much higher too.

No, he forgot to hold his breath until he remembered to.

Since we're approaching it in just a couple of episodes / weeks, I really hope that Madhouse avoids animating the whole "Sonic and Pri-Pri Prisoner in Prison" Bonus Chapter. Pri's creepy as fuck even in the original webcomic, but that one chapter… as much as I whinged about Tornado and unnecessary fan service earlier, I'd take an episode that's nothing but fan service if it means avoiding those jokes and attempts at humor*. Thankfully we're not going to have to deal with Superalloy Darkshine's background story this season (unless it somehow races past even the manga), and with all the adjustments made to cast names we'll hopefully get a better name for A-Rank #3 than "Slicing SheMan / Shemale".
For those who don't read the manga and are curious, since it's not really a spoiler: The Prison Bonus Chapter makes overt mention of Pri-Pri Prisoner being a serial rapist, and strongly implies him to possibly be a Child Predator too.
They can keep a lot of the funnier parts without offending anyone I think; that he's a prison boss who just breaks out to fight monsters and doesn't actually have anything keeping him in there.
That said, they're doing this panel for panel so far I think so I doubt they'd change much. Frankly they just need to introduce the main cast asap so we can get a story arc or two

Perhaps it's too much to hope for, but I'd like it if they got to the fight with Boros by season's end.

Fairly sure they will, going off the opening - that's the arc that introduces Tatsumaki and many of the other S-rankers, and the last scene of the opening looks a helluva lot like Serious Strike.

Good catch. And of course there's the brief second or so where we see baldy in space.
I wonder if they'll try to animate Nomura Kazuo's labyrinthine map of the ship's interior?
Though the former only applies if your lungs aren't super tough, and, well, Saitama already took a plasma blast from Genos, that's why he's nude!

Latest episode was great. They nailed Carnage Kabuto (since when was that his name?) and the 'Revealing the Secret' scene was fantastic.
The only bad thing about the episode for me is that it's completely overshadowed by how utterly epic the next episode is going to be. We're meeting my two favourite characters in the series!

Isn't it amazing how well the fight scenes look, even if its totally one sided and Saitama isn't taking any damage whatsoever?
