SOME EVEN PUT STUFF LIKE THAT IN THEIR SIGNATURES HAAAAA Yeah, god forbid people criticize something that deserves to be criticized... i dont care if it deserves or not... it's just repetitive as fuck, everyone says basically the same trash over and over, blah blah go read the mango, its insulting, etc. Some people can of course be more varied or specific on their comments but most seem like babies crying. Or like Star Wars haters/fans Maybe i dont care a lot for the animation because i watch this as the shonen genre parody it is. I don't take the fights seriously, I LAUGH at them. I hope this thing gets dubbed in Portuguese by the same team as before. It was the best dubbing we got in years and the only one i made a point of watching it entirely. Better than the original voices. |

Yes, it would be all a lie if I say that I'm anywhere near satisfied with how the anime was produced. Whether it will be direction or animation or any part of it. To put it bluntly, my only reason to watch OPM season 2 is just "for the sake of it". I don't want to give any critics because expressing my critics and opinions will only make it worse for me. |

| EYELASHES! Hmm...Saitama's voice when lecturing Fubuki doesn't seem to match after all. It lacks...emotion... "You've finally made master a target of your newbie crushing, and now the tables have turned and you almost died." LOL! "There's also the strongest man in the world, King. He's a monster even among monsters." Ehehe, King should be #1 S Class. Woohoo! We got our four heroes together! Saitama and King being best buds, Genos following Saitama, and Fubuki beginning to learn what it means to be a hero. We're going to be having some fun! So how does this go again? "Did you see those action scenes? DISGUSTING! Nothing but still frames! It's like they took pages of the manga, colored them, and put them on a slideshow! And did you see the art of the characters' faces? The detail is so plain! Ewww!" |

ProofByColor said: 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. It's not just a drop in quality compared to the first season, if that were the case, I wouldn't be so sad and disappointed. So far there is just so much wrong with this show, the editing, the shading, the art, the animation (when there is any), the weird effects that cover up any decent bits of aniamtion, the lack of impacts during the fights, sometimes they didn't even bother doing LIP FLAPS. I honestly can't call this adaption average or anything close to that, because the enjoyable stuff about it, is only fun due to the manga being great, not because of anything the adaptation adds. |
BravoBlast333 said: nerojeko said: Genos vs. Sonic actually had a good animation, that was cool as heck. Blizzard is such an annoying pest, goddamn. Good episode. I agree, one thing I've never understood is why so many people love Fubuki (she's consistently been in top 5 on character polls), and I've read the manga and webcomic. Her design is nice but her motivation suck (I wanna be no.1), she doesn't do anything especially notable in the series and she isn't likable. I enjoyed Sonic vs Genos/Saitama, even with a few awkward bits of direction. I thought it was mostly fine. I also liked Garou's slaughter, even though that scene definitely should have lasted longer. One second he knocks around Blue Fire (I think that's his name?), the next every other person in the room is lying unconscious and bloodied. I also hope they include the clip for his backstory, I don't mind them skipping it here as long as they include it later. The animation is still mostly meh but what's really starting to annoy me is the directing and editing. Certain moments that need more time are rushed. I'd give it 3/5, just for the Sonic stuff, but that feels like a generous 3. People mostly like her because of her conflict with her sister, which is also her underlying motivation for doing all the other stuff, but a lot of people also just find her hot. |
| Eh well, DAL III and Index III have prepared me worst from JC Staff. I was actually okay with this episode because my standard for JC Staff is so low. |
 |
| Man, feels like I'm watching Strike The Blood with those kind of animations. Definetely a downgrade from Madhouse's |
Fappa said: xShinigami3125 said: Why did they even need 5 animation directors ? It was mostly still images anyways. Whether there is lots of animation or not, individual frames need to be corrected in order to follow a overarching design. More animation directors means that there is not enough time for the regular staff distribution to make it before the deadline. This in return of course results in precious time taken from other episodes that shares the same staff. So in short...the more ADs the worse the state of the production. Of course in action heavy episodes the frame count tends to be higher so an AD might need help but that should never amount to more than 2 at most. In a healthy production merely one AD per episode is needed. For an episode 2 with a rathe...conservative result to already have the need to put 5 Chief ADs on it, is horrific and is a clear sign in what dire state the production is. Usually there are 2 ADs for every episode, sometimes even 3, 1 isn't common. Luffyisdaboss said: My two cents worth, the animation is DIFFERENT, and perhaps sub-standard when compared to Season 1 & Madhouse, but hey, personally I am just very happy to have a second season! What would you have all preferred: to have a second season done by JC Staff, or no second season at all? I think to be fair, why don't we wait for the season to conclude, and then make a more accurate decision about this second season. You never know, perhaps the animation will grow on us, especially if the story is good, which I can guess (not having read the corresponding manga chapters) will be the case. So instead of being negative about what is wrong, why don't we appreciate what we have, that being a second season of the "caped Baldy" back in action. That's the way I see it at least... No second season at all, the quality of Yusuke Murata's art and action scenes are too great to be adapted by an okay animation crew with little to no time to work. Plus the director seems to e horrible. papsoshea said: I am not sure who I like more, Tatsumaki or Fubuki. Genos always goes overkill and then Saitama just walks in and makes it all light work with Sonic. Garou is a beast, would like to see him vs Bang since it was mention that the old Silver Fang was in pursuit. It was funny seeing Fubuki's reaction when King walked through the door. Silver Fang will wreck Garou |

| The animation is just... horrible... why god why!? >_>'' Loved the part thought where King just randomly popped to ask his game back haha :D Blizzard was like wthhhh |
 Check out~ ♥ Some quality AMV:s made with love ♥ My Youtube |
| It was actually much better than the previous episode Fubuki is weak ugh, I was fairly disappointed. |
024 said: 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  Well, you can all look it up in the wiki or manga or whatever. This is just an adaptation in the end and I guess it's pretty honest to the sources. Sadly, if you look at the fights list there isn't much more with Fubuki or even Saitama's backstory. It's kinda a well kept mystery as well as who or what No.1 of the heroes is (probably the reason why the webmanga just recently continued). But that frame is going to spawn so many AMV Saitama - Fubuki romance fanvideos... |
| It's getting better. The fighting scene with Sonic and Genos was great, both of them are my favorites so i was excited to see it ^^ |
| nice to see wraith.... i mean sonic in action for me the season 2 start better than s1, s1 really lack in directing and composition. s2 animation not as good as before, i give it a 7 right now while s1 a 6. |

| I liked this episode at least more than the first episode. I think the animation is fine I can definitely live with it (still sucks to not have s1 animation) as well as the humor still being funny to me so I have that going for me. |
| Yea, this ain't it chief. First of, the animations really do not match with season one. Sure, I expected that, it's inevitable. But it's lacking substantially. Another complaint of mine is, it doesn't need to be serious, it kind of takes away the point of one punch man. This episode was immensely boring for me that I clicked away after 15 minutes. I'll try again in a year or two, for now it's going to be in my on hold list. |

| Short as it was, I'm actually surprised this episode had any standout animation in it. |
"At some point, I stopped hoping." |
| My heart really hurts watching this, only fubuki's thiccness save the episode. Everything good this anime had is gone |
 |
| They made one of the most original and unique series, the most average and "like every other series this season" show... J.C Staff really deserves every little single piece of shit they get, they took on the project for money, so there is no "give them some slack" anywhere to be found. |
| Fubuki is Hot af,hopefully they won't attack her with the fanservice beam. |
| RIP one punch man. It's hard to watch after the relative masterpiece that was s1 |
  ~ |
| Wow, Genos was brutal! Haha, Saitama did it again, more serious series! |
 |
| The most movement was dedicated to Blizzard's tits. The writing is still on point, but I am still wondering what could have been with MADHOUSE as animators. This is not a bad effort by JC Staff, but it could be so much more than "not bad". |
charliechuckle said: The only thing everyone compares this to is One Punch Man, but fails to actually compare it to anything relevant. JoJo, one of the top action animes has 10x more stills than One Punch man... You guys are just mentally retarded enough to buy into the biased hype or hate. Just read your own comments, and prove to us that you are honest by NOT WATCHING THE REST OF THIS ANIME. Otherwise, go fuck off with your bullshit hypocrite attitudes. Holy shitballs hold your edges man, you might cut yourself with that. What else should we compare it with? Are you that stupid to understand that the change in the studio (and ultimately the entire direction of the anime), no matter what, still presents a substantial downgrade in quality. You do not compare this to Jojo because One Punch Man season 1 didn't present us stills like Jojo so it's not apple to apple comparison. Stop being a hyprocryte yourself, a downgrade is still a downgrade no matter how still presentable the entire thing is, it's like going from 9 to 6. Heck I bet your edgy ass if Jojo suddenly switched studio to Deen and the quality changes, even though all the other animes airing at the same season has comparable or less quality, many, if not all, will still be uncomfortable with the changes. |
| JC Staff pulling a Shokugeki no Souma by letting the camera pan ALL THE TIME. Ugh, so distracting. There was a single well animated action shot (where Genos hit Sonic), but the rest was pretty bad. The sound design is also really off... |
 |
| Garou is the first character in this anime whose design I didn't like. It was just too ugly. (I don't mean his face.) I love how Saitama just doesn't care. He always speaks with "wait, I was supposed to care about that?" type of voice. This episode really reminded me of Mob Psycho 100. Sonic is back to lose a fight against Saitama. I really like him. I feel bad for the psychic girl's pride as Saitama—who is supposed to be ranked lower than her—is stronger than people way stronger than her. Lmao By the way, when did Saitama's rank get raised? I can't remember properly. |
Samu-tan said: JC Staff pulling a Shokugeki no Souma by letting the camera pan ALL THE TIME. Ugh, so distracting. Studied cinematography to understand that what Madhouse did on season 1 was just ultimately better, no arguing with that. Actions are well presented and we as a viewer can get a clear point of view where are we watching from, we have the sense of space, like we are following the motion of the fight and know the directions of each character's attacks. Go rewatch Saitama VS Boros, you can see that Saitama is almost always on the left side of the screen while Boros is almost always attacking from the right side of the screen. And it's quite consistent throughout the entire fight, it subconsciously makes us, the audience, feels more comfortable to watch and follow the fight. JC's workaround is to do quick cuts to emphasize impact during attacks. This could work but can disturb continuity and reduces impact if you don't get direction and the the timing right. Characters can suddenly switch position in tandem with quick cuts can make us question who is punching who. Amai Mask's fight is the perfect example of how this can be bad. While Genos vs Sonic's fight is the perfect example of how this can be good. |

| Don’t know why people complaining. I liked it |
| Well, i thought this was a pretty enjoyable episode. Hope that Fubuki can join the gang and forget about all of the ranking nonsense and just, be a hero for fun like our man Saitama! That scene with King was pretty funny haha. Garo seems to be a tough cookie! I wonder what his role will be in the story, can't wait to see more of him! Waiting for the next episode! |
 |
| Although I enjoyed this episode I can see that the studio is cutting corners with the animation by installing still frames to hide most of the faces and not even animating lip flaps, just so that they can release the episodes on time. |
MAL EMOJIS - Get your specially formatted emojis for MAL forums.         |
| Saitama's va sounds like he'd rather be doing anything else haha |
 |
I'm very much aware what the industry standard seems to be these days. What I was talking about is the desired outcome. You'll never need more than 1 Chief AD. In terms of ADs 1 should also be the goal, 2 at most and even then, that's stretching it. |
| 'tank top vegetarian' lmao Also that surprised fubuki tho |
 "All that is gold does not glitter, Not all those who wander are lost; The old that is strong does not wither, Deep roots are not reached by the frost." |
| *sigh* Dropped. Time to read the manga. |
| Last time we only heard JC made 2 episodes. The real test starts next week. |

| One Punch Man S2 as a standalone is "alright". One Punch Man as a sequel is absolute and utter disgusting shit and a horrible joke to ONE. One Punch Man Season 2 is not a standalone show tho, it's the contination of Season 1, so saying that means, it's shit. J.C Staff can go and fuck themself. |
