| this scene of barely 2 seconds is the "best animated" thing that the episode had and it is not even a real animation, if you see it in more detail you will realize the multiple techniques of limited animation inverted here, like the speedlines in the background, the sweep of images, the change of close-up, and the cut of the scene where Sonic before being hit dodges but does not show that movement to dodge but in the next scene already appears sonic in another pose, the characters actually remain totally static at all times, the only thing that moves are the lights, the dust, the debris that fly off and the head of genos for a 1 second, |
| There were some cool shots here and there, but for the most part, it looked hella lackluster. The pacing and scene transitions were also kinda off. I know people keep saying that we shouldn't compre this to S1, but I personally can't just ignore the clear gap in quality between the two. |
 |
| This episode seems worse than the first in terms of everything. It’s sad to watch this mess. |
| Oh god, they're translating names. |
| @rayreynolds Even though I think you were baiting I'm curious. Do you think this adaptation so far captures the same feeling as the webcomic? If yes, don't you agree that OPM S1 did it 100 times better? And if true OPM fans are only people who read the webcomic, what exactly are you in this medium for? Because if you do think like that, shouldn't even OPM S1 be a fake version of OPM? It's hard to understand your way of thinking, what exactly is the difference between the webcomic, manga and anime lol |
| poop |
ProofByColor said: keragamming said: Manga elitist? I think most of the complaints come from person that watch season 1 and are comparing it to season 2. The manga readers are only saying anime only should read the manga instead. Sure, it's both. Either way it's annoying. OPM was lucky to get the treatment it did in season 1. If it was just an average looking show there would be no complaints. You'd think ppl would have realized/accepted this by now. Instead you get ppl screeching at you to read to manga. I'm no stranger to disappointing anime adaptations (looking at you Piano no Mori), but there's absolutely nothing you can do about it. Just take a deep breath and stop watching if it's that infuriating. Hell, maybe I should take my advice and stay away from the episode forums lol. People have a right to criticize the show when the difference in quality is this extreme. |
|
| it makes me miss how they do an intermission bridge with badass guitar bgm now<//3 |
| its nice to see Fubuki in color at least but why are they literally translating their names in english? just call the sisters as Fubuki and Tatsumaki damn CrunchyRoll |
| the animation sucks sure but that's not what one punch man is all about |

Axelucard said: the animation sucks sure but that's not what one punch man is all about Pretty sure a fighting anime series like OPM definitely needs good animation. This is just sad now honestly |
 |
| Satisfying episode. I’m sure everyone’s paying attention to the art and visuals but it’s the soundeffects that sounded kinda cheap to me. Welp anyway looks like B class rank 1 got to see whatsup with the gang. She was blown away, both physically and mentally. That was hilarious. Looks like speed o sonic once again plans on a future battle again... and the monster guy keeps on massacring, cant wait till he meets Saitama :))) tho I wonder where this is all going to in this season.. I’m hoping we get to learn more about Saitama’s powers... cant wait for next episode! Saitama lowkey b fixin’ her  |
 plz @ me |
| Wow, this episode looked awful. The animation was basically an animatic, and the scene transitions and dialogue feel so off. |
 |
| Pfft~ This kind of animation isn't something new to J.C staff |

Because if you do think like that, shouldn't even OPM S1 be a fake version of OPM? It's hard to understand your way of thinking, what exactly is the difference between the webcomic, manga and anime lol because it is a series that is attractive by the Idea, a good Idea by itself is powerful, no matter how it is interpreted, that's why there are thousands of versions of superman and batman because they are heroes that caught the attention of the public thanks to their concept In addition in their time they were something unique. It does not matter if the first season was closer to the web comic or the manga because an anime is just another version of the Idea and that is why there is the term "based on" which attracted much attention for its bombastic animation, that was the focus who decided to put madhouse. |
| It was far better in terms of direction. And I'm extremelly relieved, because this was one of my favorites moments on the manga. Unfortunately after this, the comedy will slowly go away and it will become a little boring sometimes. Adding the weak animation, I belive this part will disappoint even more now |
 |
| They're just destroying the legacy of one punch man at this point. Honestly, if you're going to make a sequel of this quality, then you should not bother making one at all. It's just dragon ball super all over again. |
| Animation is laughable at this point, I've seen better fight scenes than this in ecchi series |
| Just as people said, Garou is indeed a monster. :o Really good episode, better than the previous one. Filled with action and it presented some more heroes of different ranks. Fubuki is thicc ;) |

Your reply before got deleted and when I skimmed over it my eyes read the words "webcomic" and "true OPM fans" and I immediately stopped reading further and called you a troll so my bad. @rayreynolds Even though I think you were baiting I'm curious.

But I assume you're going to keep taking shots at people who criticize it lol |
| poop |
| Animation really was mediocre in this episode. At least we got plenty of best girl Fubuki/Blizzard. I’m looking forward to Garou’s hunt next episode. |

deg said: its nice to see Fubuki in color at least But she appeared for a short time in Season 1 in one episode (that one with uproar on the train). deg said: but why are they literally translating their names in english? just call the sisters as Fubuki and Tatsumaki damn CrunchyRoll I don't understand it either. They could've go with translation + original name when it came to presentation of heroes, but later use their origin Japanese names, because they are their names in fact. Dunno why they chose to make translations, it sounds odd when you got used to call Fubuki and Tatsumaki with their original names. |
| I must be blind or something but to the 50%> people complaining about "The animation is so bad that it makes the anime unwatchable" are you really sure its THAT bad? Because when I think of unwatchable anime I think of the 2016/2017 Berserk as the litmus test. This is J.C Staff, I never had any doubts that they could pull off making OPM S2 because they got a decent resume of making good anime such as Shakugan no Shana and Is it wrong to pick up dungeon girls and etc. Genos vs Sonic looked fine when i watched it. The afterimage effects looked pretty cool. Fubuki isn't as strong as her sister so her being only able to conjure up a dust tornado of pebbles makes sense, don't know why people are upset about that. Garo's backstory will probably be shown later down the road so i doubt there just gonna skip that, they'll just rearrange some of the manga chapters most likely. |
 |
| People wanna talk about JC Staff's animation. I wanna talk about their shitty sound design. Get outta here with those muddy, distorted sound effects. |
| I think the moment where Saitama takes out Monkey and Eyelashes in one punch sums up why this doesn't work. That scene should be hilarious, but the punch sound lacks power, and the animation and angle are bland. It just isn't satisfying, and that sentiment carries over to every other aspect of the show. Now that I think about, the sound design in this show is awful across the board. |
| Funny how Fubuki and her group can act like that in Saitama but they were nothing. I got a laugh when Saitama used his Serious Sidway Jumps and then Ninja guys' reaction was hilarious. And Garou think he is a monster is pretty laughable when he is nothing compared to the powerful villains Saitama has fought. He'll be destroyed and sent to the garbage can in a second if he faced him. So far, I'm enjoying this new season despite the change in art style and some drop animations. |
Daphi said: i already did im fairly up to date on the manga im sure there are other reasons why they didnt pick up OPM instead of something else that is less successful, im guessing its a budget thing but it still pisses me off when studios switch like that Dude they didn't chose or rather didn't have a choice. I'm no expert, but I think it's all about scheduling, MadHouse was booked to another show when OnePan 2 was announced, the fault here is on whoever runs the anime committee and didn't want to wait for MadHouse to be free, to work on OnePan. Still even if MadHouse was working on it, probably wouldn't be able to gather the same "legendary" staff, I think most of them were freelancer(lack of better word) animators or something, gather by the anime director of season 1. |
| So by the opening the centipide will be animated the same way as Genos armor, that will be fun to mock, especially when every armor in this season looks the same for every character, Sonic, Genos, Cybor what his name, bad guy from ep 1, etc... Why is Garo emmiting purple rays from his hands?! He doesn't have any powers and Silverfang will have green rays from his hands too wtf... They didn't show Sonic trying to slash Genos head, so the scene looked confused. The animation is just lacking, I mean it's decent from some of the other shows but from season 1 they are just lowering the bar... they are even shaking the camerawork so people don't notice: (all the frames of the scene were like this...) This was just better than episode 1 cause, a lot more happened... Garo and Fubuki being two of the best characters helps. |

| The pacing was terrible in the Satiama/Speed-o'-Sound Sonic fight. Also, the lack of fluidity killed the joke and made the fight look herky-jerky. And is it just me, or does the plot seem sporadic at this juncture? |

| The animation isn't even that bad tbh. Better then most of the other seasonals airing right now. It's just that OPM has always been flat out boring. There's no substance to it as of now, though I really do hope that changes. |
 |
| This was worse than the last episode. Both in terms of execution and animation. |
 |
| I won't even talk about the quality of the animations etc, because there is no point...so i will focus on the plot/comedy. This girl is funny xD I love the fact that he's a B rank yet people from S rank respect him xD And that girl's face when King entered the room hahahaha I wonder what he told to Saitama for deleting his save xD |
"There is no such thing as an Anime elitist. You watch Anime, therefore, you are trash by society's standards." |
| Damn, it's kinda sad to see everyone hating on the animation. It's definitely not the greatest but it's watchable. Personally, I think the weaker point is the comedy, I feel like it could be directed or presented better somehow, not really able to put my hand on what I feel is lacking there. Some of the stuff was still funny though. The Serious series sideways jump was great though. XD Love how King and Saitama are friends now. Fubuki. <3 |
 |
| The animation sucks. Unlike many people I was never a fan of the plot of the first season either but it still entertained me because of the animation. Take that out and there's not much left. If I'm not mistaken the popularity/sales of One Punch Man is huge so there's no excuse to give it such a mediocre adaptation. I mean just look at Mob Psycho 100 which is from the same author, it got such an amazing adaptation. The stark contrast between the second season of both is painful to see. |
<Insert clever quote> |
| Woah wait, did I seriously see a haired Saitama in the OP? Saitama looked pretty badass with the menacing face in this episode lol  |

| Good episode! Fubuki and her group appearing was cool, the got unluck cause Saitama is more stronger than them, Fubuki is hot fighting, and her hurricane was sure overpower! Sanic vs Genos was really interesting, genos speed with his new upgrades so strong! King was soft, if someone had deleted and game liek sSaitama did would be teh end of the world xD |

transphinx said: I think this is the last time I'll read OPM comments. LOL PEOPLE HERE ARE SURELY CRINGE with all the mi mi mi complaining trash. SOME EVEN PUT STUFF LIKE THAT IN THEIR SIGNATURES HAAAAA Yeah, god forbid people criticize something that deserves to be criticized... |
|
| I don't know about the rest but I'm finding the animation and fights choreography quite decent. Not to mention that the OST used during said fights was just amazing. That said, it was a pretty entertaining episode. The fight between Genos and Sonic was probably the highlight for me but Garou's introduction was quite interesting to see as well. It was also nice to see more of Fubuki. However, I think her fight with Saitama felt a bit underwhelming but other than that, her presence and the talk she had with both Saitama and Genos after the fight was something I really enjoyed. Not to mention that I loved her reaction when King suddenly appeared xD And finally, on a side note, I must say that I really liked the fact that the studio made an ED with the same relaxing/calm vibe the old one had. |
| Wow I really enjoyed it 10/10 |
| I didn't hype myself when season 2 was announced nor did I expect it to be as good as season 1. And now I found myself quite enjoying season 2 with all of its lackeys just fine. That's why Hype is bad for your mind and body boysss.. Just prepare for the worst and you'll do just fine. Mod edit: removed baiting |
