It's alright. I definitely had a few laughs, but the fight sequences were rather derisory.

The ED seems a little out of a place, but I'll excuse it if we do get at least something decent later in the season (I hope).

You know I thought that I wouldn't really like the anime as much anymore with the recent news but after watching 2 EP, I have to say that I still love it!

the 2nd episode anime is well done despite how pessimist we all are when jc handled the series. rather than the fighting scene, I'd rather concern myself with small details like face expression and damn, that metal gradation sucks. just get over it already jcc!!!
if you want good story, read novel. if you want good graphic, read manga. anime is beyond that.

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.


I'm not defending season 2 of One Punch Man because the action scene of this season is indeed trash compared to season 1 but... that video of JoJo you showcased has a lot of still-shots as well so that video was a pretty bad example in getting your point across.

JoJo is all about the detailed still shots, your comparison is flawed. The animé is 100% faithful to the manga, hell 200%. The essence of JoJo is in detailed still shots and fluid short smooth animations when shit matters. OPM S2 does not deliver on both aspects, don't lie to yourself. Sure it isn't the worst thing ever, but be real with yourself.



Again, don't compare this to JoJo

Oh man, the pacing is really bad. I can accept the bad animation but the cuts are really awful and it feels like they're rushing everything so much.

Not to mention Saitama's VA seems to be really monotonous in line delivery this time around which isn't a dig to the seiyuu himself but towards the voice director instead. The VA voiced Shirogane Miyuki in Kaguya-sama Love is War and his performance there was impeccable so I don't think it's a talent problem.

While is true that season 2 is not even close to season 1 quality I also believe that season 2 isn't that bad either, it just feels bland and generic, I'm not "feeling it" either while I was feeling every bit of season 1. I believe the director is the one responsible to make us "feel" the moment and he's probably not doing it correctly. What I've seen so far is just a copy/paste of the manga into this with nothing extravagant in-between, the director is the one that needs to work out those in-between moments somehow to make us feel the moment with awesome cinematographic or something.


Yeah, that's basically what I was trying to say. The point is, it's not the animation in itself, but rather the presentation of it all that seems a bit off. Don't want to bash on the animation staff since they're already receiving enough backlash on their own, and yeah something's here not right, I just think people are slightly missing the point here.

Really hate the close-up shots where they zoom in on the characters even if it's well detailed.

The difference between JC Staff and Madhouse's take on OPM is the way they handle animation. JC Staff focuses on extreme close-ups to the point you can't even see the character's face and does small details while Madhouse does a wide shot emcompassing the surroudings around the characters and the monsters they're fighting,which does wonders for fight scenes. Having close-ups in fight choreography only allows you to witness 2% of the action at best.

Also,background such as surrounding buildings don't seem to exist in the Genos vs Sonic fight. All you can see is random colours nobody wanted.

the episode was good it's better than the first episode but i actually feel like they'll use slow movements in some fights as a gag thing from the web comic and one sakuga part in big battles like the one in sonic vs genos one as result of lack of time and resources too but yeah there's few flaws and lack of animation in some scenes the sad part that 5 AD directors worked on that episode with 6 directors which isn't a good sign for the production schedule itself

Both Fubuki booty's fight with Saitama and Sonic vs Genos were underwhelming. Even Garou's intro and him bashing in everyone's head in was disappointing. I was looking forward to his Anime debut too. :(

I enjoyed this more in the manga tbh. Still, I liked it to some extent. Fubuki booty looked absolutely beautiful and hot. Genos has a long-ish face now, so does Sonic and many others so it'shard to them aesthetically pleasing.

The after-credits scene were just a bunch of stills of the higher-ups talking. Damn. They didn't even bother.

Fubuki was so wrong about Saitama and she was shooked when King came in to retrieve his game.

This episode felt strange. Weird pacing and all, strange use of the OST in places. Saitama way overreacting to things he'd normally treat without care. He really needed to defend against Fubuki's attacks? I'd expect him to casually walk through to a B-class Hero attacks completely unscathed, yet he had scratches all over him and had his cape torn (only for that to disappear when Sonic entered the scene...)

I must say that Fubuki should feel more proud, she is spectacular and Tatsumaki looks like a little girl, instead Fubuki is a hot girl with a spectacular body that obviously her sister must envy.
On the other hand Garo proved to be an enemy to be feared, not only defeated class A heroes in the room, but also eliminated all criminals who were in the room.

Saitama receives two unexpected visits, the first one is Sonic who wants the revenge against Saitama, but Genos faces him. Later Fubuki and his subordinates visit Saitama to recruit him into her group, but the carefree personality of Saitama and the little interest he has in the ranking of heroes and fame, only enrages the ESP user and she attacks him with all her power, but this does not affect Saitama at all and before she can counterattack, Saitama stands in front of her and tells her to stop underestimate the work of the real heroes and Fubuki just gets even madder and attacks with a followed of psychic attacks until they are interrupted by Genos and Sonic.
I still laugh at Fubuki's face after seeing that Saitama saved her from the explosion and also learning that the hero class S Genos is Saitama's apprentice, for her that was a big surprise.
The fight of Genos against Sonic was pretty good, seeing how they were challenged to see who was faster was great, but finally Genos is overcome and decides to cause a big explosion, but Saitama knocks him out and decides to take over Sonic, I laughed a lot with the panel where we see the threatening aura of Saitama and then the surpasses the technique of 10 copies of Sonic, the surprise face of Sonic was perfect.
Fubuki fears the heroes of rank A and S, that is why she gathers companions, so that she does not feel overwhelmed by that terrifying power, but Fubuki receives another surprise that leaves her shocked, King arrives at the department of Saitama and they speak as if they were friends , this leaves Fubuki thinking about wanting to join the "group" of Saitama.

The imbeciles of the asosiacion of heroes are just clowns with ties, ignored the threat of Garo and dedicated to put a ridiculous name to Genos and Saitama, as they dare to put "bald with a coat" Saitama

After this episode I can say that I have become accustomed a bit to the new animation, but I feel that the characters lack impact as they had in the previous season.
About the fights I can not complain much, they put enough effort to deliver a decent product in this episode, plus I like how Saitama overwhelms his enemies with his strength and agility and in this episode they did a very well job.
In the next episode the search will begin to catch the terrifying and powerful Garo.

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


The reason, simply, Madhouse did not work in the anime of OPM as such, the director, thanks to his contracts, hired independent animators to do the project, unfortunately the animators could not be in this because they were working with Mob Psycho 100 S2.

The hate of the people seems excessive, the animation is fine, I mean, it is a comedy anime, it does not need a 10/10 animation to work and I think it has been fun enough so far.

If you think that the focus of the show is action, you are quite wrong, OPM has never had tension in the first place, Saitama destroys everyone with one punch, you just can not take it seriously as an action series.

The action is just an extra and you should not rate the series as bad just for that.

The point of this anime should be nonsense fights but with awesome animation, and that's what made the first season so good.

This one even the stills are bad and wtf happened to Genos design? It looks like these Liquify+Metalic+Emboss Photoshop filters that people use when they first discover the damn thing.

It was disappointing Fubuki turned out just to be some low class newbie bully snob. It was funny watching her reactions to all the S rank people being close to Saitama, she look so bad trying to lecture him.

somethingsomethinganimationstillsucks

The only other highlight for me this episode was Saitama's statement to Fubuki about being a hero. Felt like it was a callback to Mumen Rider classic and tearful stand against the Sea King from Season 1, mainly the way Saitama showed Mumen Rider so much respect despite the obvious gap in power and ability. He respected the effort.

It's a well beaten dead horse at this point but the low quality animation isn't just hurting the action/fight scenes but even some of the comedic scenes too imo. Whole season just feels like it's being farted out instead of having that passion from S1.

I dont even remember there being a fight in the manga, it left that much of an impression on me. I'm not sure what people were expecting when the real fight of that part was Genos - Sonic anyway.

Sorry to ruin people's fanlove, but Fubaki doesnt have much of a combat/fight part in OPM. She's too weak and not interesting enough (yet) for that.

Panning shots and frozen frames. A lot of times they even conveniently shot with the mouth out of the frame or filmed a character from behind, because they didn't want to be bothered with animating even the fucking mouth flaps (and a couple of frames of facial animation). Hell, even the opening, where you usually find the best animation, has a bunch of stills and CGI characters (even Saitama wasn't spared).

But the episode itself wasn't bad. It was your standard One Punch Man fare. Fubuki seems interesting. She's probably going to be the only reason why I'll stick around till the end of this season.

That's not the point. Even if it was short, Fubuki had a fight and it looked significantly better in the manga. The amount of corners cut in such a short fight/scene says a lot about the whole season as a whole. Besides, even if Genos and Sonic's fight is better, it is still nothing compared to the first season.
