| I had a sudden epiphany watching this episode: I think the new staff is trying to compensate for the budget/scheduling/whatever issues by turning this season into Jojo's. Like, most of the fights are highly expressive posing over fluid action, the colors change at random to highlight the surreal emotions of the scene, even the sound design on the impact of some blows feels straight ripped from some of the recent Stand powers in Golden Wind. If nothing else, I give them credit for attempting a unique solution to their predicament. Not sure if it really works as well as it needs to, though. |
| I'm getting a lot of vibes of Tokyo Ghoul Re: Second Season every time I checked the episode discussions for that series. It feels almost eerily similar with the usual comments about the weak directing, animation and pacing. For me, I enjoyed this episode more than the first one, but the difference between the quality of this season so far compared to the first season is obvious. In it's defence, there was certain parts of the fight between Genos and Sonic that was animated nicely, but other parts relied too much on still shots, which did weaken the feel of the fight overall. One part that this episode still does well is the comedy and I still got some good chuckles here and there. =) But to be honest, like with Tokyo Ghoul Re, I'm expecting every episode discussion will be filled with the same negative responses all the way towards the end of the season. As I said before, J.C. Staff's reputation has been on the slide recently and this is only going to get worse for them if this keeps up. |
| We are in the darkest timeline. Murata's art is so good that it's easy to imagine what this episode could have looked like with better animation, but J.C.Staff fails to deliver. Saitama's sidestep went way too quickly and most of the fights are still images. Even the voice actors feel less enthusiastic this season and Garou's voice is way too plain and monotonous. It works for a character like Sakamoto (in Sakamoto Desu ga?), but it's just nog a good pick for Garou imo. I really hope it gets better. |
| Ok, now i’m really surprised. Don’t know what to think about this episode at all... Last episode was okay with the interaction of characters and was pretty boring in the fights. Now this episode send me the completely opposite vibe. To be more clear let me separate the episode in two from what I like to what I disliked. What I liked: Fubuki was well animated and the colours of her character worked with the environment. Genos and Super Sonic fight was enjoyable even if it was not the type of fight you would expect to see in a OPM anime adaptation. And that’s it seriously, not a lot of things to enjoy... What I disliked : Garou introduction/fight was so flat, we didn’t see any of the action just the aftermath, a lot of still shots and basically everything to make the whole scene worthless ( I doesn’t makes me feel like Garou is that big of a threat ). The conversation between Saitama and Fubuki was full of unnecessary camera change that gave us amazing view of Saitama’s ear and the alarm clock of is apartment for like almost one minute. Finally to my big surprise the thing that was the worst in this episode was...Saitama. What happened to my boy ? Did he lost is image resolution on top of his hair ? The show is called One “Punch” Man and they don’t even get the time to animate his punches. No seriously what happened. From the colours, to the animation, to the voice acting, every scene with Saitama feel’s out of place. When I was watching the scene where Saitama was talking/ fighting with Fubuki I thought that I was watching a bad edit of two anime put together. Yeah that was weird... So that’s it, I seriously think that the studio wasn’t ready to make the project, they started too early and stuck themselves in a situation they can’t get out of. And right they decided to put their energy elsewhere. |

Greenlandball said: 50% of the comments are still talking about One Punch Man being bad, there's nothing wrong with the anime seriously, it's so fucking good, i don't see any problems with it, why is everyone still nitpicking? just be happy it got a second season, there are lots of animes that don't even get a second season or do you guys want this to get cancelled cause of your stupid ranting can't wait for the next episode, love the comedy in this anime I would prefer nothing over this season tbh, cuz then there would at least be the chance of a decent season. And if you don't see any problems with the animation, shading, editing, voice acting, pacing, and the art, then nobody can help you anymore. And what does other anime not getting a second season have to do with this ? Should we just accept whatever we get, without critizising it at all ? |
asdqua said: Saitama's voice acting who suddenly has no other tone unlike season 1. Gamesaucer said: I have to say though, they ruined Saitama's voice. I found myself wondering multiple times whether they changed his VA because it just sounded to out of character and boring when compared to, for example, him gaming with King in episode 1. He's just a robot this episode and it's jarring. Like, I understand that he's supposed to be somewhat monotonous but they really dialled that up to 11 here and instead of making him sound bored/unimpressed/whatever it's just like he's incapable of changing his tone even slightly whatsoever. It doesn't mesh with his facial expressions and makes his performance sound off. This. Both Saitama and Garou felt really monotonous. Fubuki, Genos, Sonic, King and Sweet Mask on the other hand are all great. |
ProofByColor said: Holy fuck the manga elitists in this thread. Like yeah it doesn't look nearly as good as before but jesus christ... Even tho the fights were not as hype due to the quality it was still pretty good. It was pretty funny how Fubuki is going on about all these strong as heroes that Saitama will never beat and then King just shows up. It would be cool if she "joined the team" as she mentioned, but idk how Saitama will feel about that. Either way, maybe she will leave B class. I didn't know that critizising something makes you an elitist. You even acknowledge that the awful production reduced your "hype" so this seems ridiculous to me. |
| Although I've read the manga, I barely remember anything. I just know that I wasn't a big fan of it. That said, I'm surprsingly enjoying it a lot right now. Garos introduction was hype and the other fights were quite nice as well. Furthemore, many amusing moments, especially with Fubuki. Good episode overall, I really like where this going. |

hakaihisaki said: The animation is not that bad... I mean, it's a huge downgrade from season 1 (why the hell didn't madhouse continue with season 2?!), but if you compare it with your average anime, the animation is ok. And about Garou backstory - they might do it later on. It's not unheard of to change the place in the show they insert the backstory. All in all, decent episode, but not great. Not even in comparison to your average action anime from today, does opm s2 look good. And the few good bits of animation for example from the G4 fight, are being overshadowed by the terrible editing, and the horrendous effects. |
| It's fascinating to think that Mob Psycho s2 is one of the best looking shows this decade, then you get OPM s2 the very next season and it ticks every box of "what not to do in an animation 101". |

| Wow, what a crazy amount of increase towards the amount of stills compared to the previous episode. Knew it was going to drop in quality over the course of a couple episodes but this is way more than just drop, it plummeted. Well at least the side step and King appearing scenes were still funny. |
| This episode was fun, an improvement from last week, some fun action (yes we know it's not season one) As a non manga I reader, I wonder if Mumen Rider will put an appearance this season, here's hoping. |

| OMG what is it with all these still frames and low quality fights? I was excited during these chapters when reading them, but the action here just sucks. It got worse than the first episode. Not only that, but the sound distorted noise during the fights is getting annoying. The fights are very average, not totally ass but very average. I'm already worrying for next week and the future episodes 2/5 |

| Still not a single good sakuga moment. There's no hope, every single fight will be butchered. At least the dialog from the source material still remains funny (even if the execution could be better). Did they change Saitama's VA? |
| That was a hilarious episode and there was a nod to the first season with Saitama's side jumping (those qualifiers were funny); obviously, there remains some issues with the animation that can be overlooked. So, great episode. Hey, we got OPM's Tsukiyama (Tokyo ghoul), good touch... God dammit though, Garou is a beast, taking out the blue fire dude (yeh. I know. Seems like such a side character so I didn't learn his name); but wait, was the guy doing hand signs or something -those gestures were a bit odd. Cant wair for next week. |

Denci said: Daphi said: can someone explain to me why madhouse didn't do season 2? im confused why a different studio took up OPM its a fucking insult Because the director of Season 1, Natsume Shingo and his team are busy with other projects this year. I am guessing Natsume could have been free to make season 2 next year, but then the producers most likely were like it needs to come out this year, hence the change in staff and studio. makes sense but OPM Season 1 was released 4 years ago, its mind buggling they aren't placing a priority on that Show |

And what does other anime not getting a second season have to do with this ? Should we just accept whatever we get, without critizising it at all ? All the problems you yourself mentioned are quite big, so i find it quite bewildering that you still call it nitpicking when people point them out. And maybe that's because I am a huge fan of the manga and webcomic, and have reread both many times, but I instantly noticed those things without having to look for any of them. |
| Holy fuck all these people who come just to complain about something everyone already knows about. I've never seen so much fucking whiny babies before...it's actually baffling. Go fuck off somewhere else and drop the anime if you're just here for the animation because nobody is going to miss you or care about you at the end of the day. |
 |
| There are still people who consider this average lmaoooo. It's complete trash OPM is a show with multiple action scenes in literally every episode. This is nothing but garbage. And what the hell are those sound effects?? Had to listen to some music to check if it wasn't my earbuds. So bad |

When I mentioned your "hype" comment I simply wanted to point out that you yourself have criticisms of the show, and to simply decry others, who have even more of them, as "Manga Elitists" is quite ridiculous. If you can yourself easily find flaws in a show, you maybe should consider that others also have a valid reasoning behind their criticism. And I am simply a big fan of the opm franchise, and thus I want to prevent it from getting a bad rep due to a bad adaptation, even if it's just by a little bit. |

It's because director Shingo Natsume was commited to make Boogiepop anime. |

| Fubuki was the highlight of the episode easily. That and King suddenly appearing in Saitama's house to get his game back, especially for Hiroki Yasumoto's laidback voice acting. tidoesstuff said: I'm glad to not be the only one who thought Sweet Mask looked like Tsukiyama this episode. The fact they have the same voice actor helped even more.Hey, we got OPM's Tsukiyama (Tokyo ghoul), good touch... |
 |
Wrong. Manga = Drawings Books have only story. |
|
| guys like you can complain about the animation when there is not even animation out of about 2 seconds of true movement there are only static images followed by another static image practically fights with static images LOL |
| No joke, the Fubuki/Saitama fight scene is one of my favorite moments and, well, seeing it animated was... underwhelming. The manga does a better job of portraying the action. I'm not sure if J.C.Staff dropped the ball or if Murata's art is THAT amazing (my guess: a bit of both). Love me some Fubuki tho, not gonna lie. Also, that line was equally stupid in both 'official' translations:  |
| Like I said in Another thread, This Anime adaptation has been more loyal to ONE's original artwork rather than the Manga redrawn by Yusuke Murata or Madhouse's Season 1. Don't Know if that's a good thing though. Fubuki vs Saitama felt good. It wasn't animated as badly as the fight in episode 1 but wasn't perfect either. Sonic vs Saitama and genos did feel a little bit bad. Mostly in how underwhelming the sidesteps(And most attacks TBH) were. People are complaining about Garou's backstory being skipped but I think thats a good thing. They could focus On the Fubuki stuff for this episode and Talk about Garou's backstory next episode when its more relevant during the hero hunt. If the pacing was bad as it is already imagine what it would've been if they tried to squezee Garou's backstory in there. Its far from the worst Fighting animation I have seen but its not great either. Its not as good as S1's but still enjoyable. Like someone else said, it gives me TG vibes being that a lot of people loved it but the sequel was heavily hated. This is not as bad as TG ROOT A or any of the TG;RE Seasons though. |

| The battle between Genos and Sonic was pretty dope. Yep that's all I have to say about this episode. |
| Fubuki is cute and gorgeous... Garo is OP, gonna be interesting when he meets up with Saitama. Comedy was on point though, Saitama's introduction to Fubuki was just priceless. Genos vs Sonic was pretty alright, gotta love that Genos was doing more harm to the area around them than to Sonic.. |

Personally, I don't what you are doing will help your cause in any way. People are severally over reacting about the quality of OPM2. It was doomed from the start. How can it possibly live up to the expectations the first season set? It didn't. Instead we get an average looking season 2 and it's perpetual disappointment. Do note the word average. As long as we stay away from black clover levels or bad, idc. The series can and will still be enjoyable to most. |
| Disappointed that they didn't portray the epicness of Serious Series Side Hops. It ended to quickly and didn't show enough detail/emphasize on how comedically insane the situation was |
 |
| Fubuki was cute.The animation to me seem a little bit better than the first episode even though you can clearly see the frames. |
