I am glad Madhouse or Bones' animators aren't involved with One Punch Man anymore, while the first season animation was so remarkable it just doesn't fit the show.
This is not an issue that stems from the anime but from the manga, Murata crippled One Punch Man. As you might know, One Punch Man's manga is not its original source but the webcomic is and that has such "bad" or "amateurish" drawings that combined withe the parodical and comical nature of One Punch Man made the webcomic hilarious.
Murata saw the webcomics potential and corrupted it. Perhaps instead of Murata himself it was actually magazine
...
editor but it doesn't mater, One Punch Man became what it was parodying. While Murata's manga is still a good manga it's not as great as One's webcomic. The detailed and almost hyperrealistic style combined with new framing and story tweaks moved the focus from the derpy comedy to a more serious action, and to me that was a huge mistake.
Murata's versions and season 1 of One Punch Man try to give the show more credibility, more action and make us take the show seriously even though the show is just a parody. It simply doesn't work and it kills the joke of the webcomic. So many people act like they are fans of One Punch Man and ask for recommendations of anime with overpowered main characters like Saitama or discuss who is strongest between Goku and Saitama, sadly to those people I'd say that they didn't get the show.
One Punch Man season 1 sure had amazing action but it lacked the narrative weight behind it, it was pointless. That's because no one can rival Saitama, and that's he joke. However, Murata and season 1 still try to sell it as an action or superhero show when it's not. Therefore I am glad that One Punch Man doesn't have that amazing animation anymore, now the focus of the show can again be the parody and comedy.
Inferno Cop is what One Punch Man should have been.
