One Punch Man 2nd Season Episode 2 Discussion

No thanks, it's comfy up here. If you want to lewd Fubuki or whoever then fine, that's entirely your choice, but if the only reason you like a character is because she has a nice figure or something then you can't pretend that's not superficial.

Scenes with King simply rock. They present very good comedy quality. I didn't read manga, so I was worried that King will be another cliché clumsy guy who acts so bold and powerful, but doesn't have any special abilities compared to other heroes. More or less I thought he will be someone like Mister Satan from Dragon Ball. While I like Mister Satan, I didn't want to see his OPM's version. I'm glad that King happened to be different and is so much positive as a character. :)

That's very shallow (and downright perverted at worst) if that's the only reason you like a character.



No problem with that, if they're actually in it for her character as well.

I was trying to recall what 'development' you're referring to, but then I remembered some of her later interactions with Tatsumaki (I've read the manga and webcomic).

Well that was fucking terrible and I'm in pain. They ruined so much otherwise amazing shit this episode. Not just the action, but even the comedy and dialogue are feeling weak now. The direction is awful. Show more close up zooms of everyone and everything, and keep cutting to after the movement and impact for everything, that's great... And how many 1-color backgrounds was that for the character close ups? Just about every character and scene contained multiple... Also who needs detail when you can just cloud everything with shitty fucking effects and make the scene last just one second? And the design choice for Genos' arms was questionable, but what the hell is wrong with Sonic's armor? WHO thought that looked good?? And who thought cutting Garou's backstory would be a good idea? The one bit that MAKES the comedy/parody here and saves it and him from being seemingly just badly written.

OPM just feels like a trashy generic shonen right now, they've even made the delivering of Saitama's lines feel cringey and lifeless. Fuck, fuck, FUCK the production committee for being greedy and impatient and handing it off to this (largely) too inexperienced and incompetent staff. Am triggered.

The only reason why Index's story was "bad" is because the anime skipped a lot of narrative and details that actually make senses or at least make the story understandable, not to mention some of the arcs was also rushed as hell due to "marketing" reason (I'm talking about you, Battle Royale Arc, that arc seriously needs at least 5 episodes instead of just 3). And you do realizes Index's original source is LN and it's 22 volumes far ahead than the anime as of now right? (31 volumes ahead before Index III was starts airing) The latter part wasn't wrong however, as Nishikiori loves the fan-services scenes (And HQ background) at lot more than the actual story itself.

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.

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.

So, it's the same old story: Misdirection from the story to sell the goods and keep the audience in a sedated, but interested state. Yet the difference between Index and OP Man is that audiences can see flaws more easily in Index, but donÄt care, while OPM 2 is not that bad, but people want to hate it, because the Twinkies (as a metaphor) aren't made by the old company. So, it doesn't matter if the recipe (the source) is the same, as long as the packaging changes...

The people who are defending this season sure do have trash taste since they love eating shit like this. We shouldn’t be fine and defending anime that strive for mediocrity and substandard performance when we know they can do better. It’s people like them that are apart of the problem.

Ehm, Well... HELLO THERE! Just having a quick chit chat meanwhile

5 out of 5, I loved it. I didn't read the manga, but you guys seem to have huge sticks up your butts. Seriously, just admit there is no way you'll ever be satisfied; or pull those sticks out already.

EDIT: 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.

Shoryuuken said:

You've got to be kidding me.

Don't ever compare JoJo to OPM S2, the problem is that people are complaining about people who are giving totally valid critique about a series known for no nonsense action and substantial animation.

Ten said:
I don't mind the animation, but the story doesn't seem all that interesting too.
Liked the interactions between characters though, probably the only thing that actually keeps my attention on the show, hope to see some development there in the future episodes.

Poppo said:
Honestly, I think the animation so far is ok. If it wasn't for S1 totally spoiling us with its super high quality, we wouldn't feel so upset. Of course though, when you build high standards the fall from the top hurts, and it definitely applies here.

Still, I don't think this is the main problem. I don't know if it's because I've already read this part in the manga and essentially "re-watching" it makes it kinda odd, but I feel like something is up with the pacing.
Is it just me or everything moves so fast? I feel like there is no dramatic pause between scenes, I'm not "feeling" what's happening. It kinda hops from one thing to the other, each one of them executed decently on their own, but... meh. Maybe I just watched it too late at night, but wanted to check if anyone else feels the same way.

Overall, still hyped for what's to come after waiting for so long.
