The "blurring" effect in One Punch Man S2 is NOT J.C. Staff's doing

So this is because it is airing at a late night time slot?

It's used to prevent epilepsy in order to deem it "safe" to watch on TV. Pretty much all shows that have action-packed scene have some sort of filter. Blame Pikachu

It’s not like the shit behind the blur is worth looking at, so it doesn’t affect my watching experience in the slightest.

Bruh its not that bad stop fucking whining like its the worst anime ever. Youre just an ungrateful entitled cry baby.

xShinigami3125 said:

Stop crying about me crying about subjective things bruh.

Hydra_X9K said:


Your signature says otherwise. Why even have that anyway lol

xShinigami3125 said:

Apparently you don’t know what the word subjective means lol.

Hydra_X9K said:


Alright well at least you arent one of those people who say its "objectively" bad. Those people are very annoying and there are alot of them. The way you worded it made it seem like it was stated as a fact instead of an opinion. My mistake then. But i stand by what I said when it isnt that bad. Ive seen plenty of worse anime than this. Season One was a miracle to hapoen its not so easily replicated. Even madhouse themselves couldnt do it as good as season 1.

xShinigami3125 said:

Thats it’s just an opinion should be obvious considering that there is no objectivity when it comes to taste, even without me having to add „in my opinion“ after every single sentence. And ofc there is always something worse, but if we judge by that metric, then no anime can every get a very low rating, because berserk 2016 exists.
Saying s1 was a miracle is a bit much, there are plenty of well animated shows, some of which even gets sequels with similar quality, so it can be done, just look at Bones stuff. My problem with this season isn’t that isn’t not as good as season 1, it’s that it’s absolutely terrible, and could easily be much better if a studio with enough time, and competence when it comes to action had worked on it. If this season had simply been an average adaptation of the manga, I wouldn’t have minded it at all, but this is just a disgrace.

Hydra_X9K said:


Hmm... I think thats a bit much. I think its still a great show. Yes it has its problems but I wouldnt go so far as to call it a disgrace. The problem with season 1 is that it was barely Madhouse at all. It was Shingo Natsume who called in a lot of freelancers, with a bit of help from Bones. Something like that doesnt happen very often. If Madhouse were to do a second season by themselves it wouldnt turn out as good as season one did. Madhouse has been going downhill as of late.

xShinigami3125 said:

Yea obviously madhouse wouldn’t do all that well either, but that’s not a reason to excuse what JC staff has done.

@Hydra_X9K

are you a manga reader? just look at this for example if you are not https://myanimelist.net/forum/?topicid=1781275

its not just the animation that is bad its also the direction/execution making the better plot of this arc on the manga only bearable or average at best in the anime sequel

Hydra_X9K said:


Well of course its going to look better in Manga form. Drawning Mangs is much easier than doing anime frame by frame.

deg said:


obviously yes but those frames on the anime are still frames if i remember right so they could have draw it better than that

Hydra_X9K said:


Again your opinion man. I think its still great. JC Staff is doing a fine job. Oh well, sorry youre not enjoying it.

Hydra_X9K said:


Im not a manga reader, I understand the manga looks godly thanks to Yusuke Murata. Im not really picky about animation. Only a few anime's animation i hate. I still like this anime. Yes season one was miles better. But i still like this season.

xShinigami3125 said:

Obviously it’s just my opinion, why do you still feel the need to point that out ? I simply wanted to point out that just because madhouse might also have screwed up with s2, that it doesn’t excuse what JC staff has done.
And you seemingly aren’t a manga reader, if that’s the case, I can only implore you to go read the manga, for your own good. It honestly saddens me that many people experience opm for the first time through this anime.

deg said:


well notice that the vocal haters on episode discussions threads are usually manga readers like me and xShinigami you were talking too previously

but really this level of animation quality alone is to be expected on long running TV anime where production schedules gets tighter that makes production quality suffer but this is only a 12 episode anime sequel so its suppose to have enough production time at least

Hydra_X9K said:


I know what the Manga artstyle looks like. Yusuke Murata is a godly manga artist. Im just not a picky person when it comes to anime.

Hydra_X9K said:


Season One was a rare thing. Shingo Natsume and many freelancers are what made it so good. If it was just madhouse alone, it wouldve looked like how it looks now. Ill take this as a lesson and stay away from the forums. Im enjoying this, so thats all that matters to me.

deg said:
im not even expecting season 1 quality but just half the quality of season 1 will do

MahiaErebeaNegi said:

This and most people are hoping the quality at least looks as good as ordinary avenge shows and yet it's still bad (Aside of few scenes).



Why is this so hard for OPM2 fans to understand?

if you notice most of the 1-2 short sakuga scenes each epsiode of this anime sequel is done by only one animator so far and he is overworked as hell already, the production committee (the owners of any anime) did not give enough resources (time and talent) for this anime sequel clearly

Well it's not like this makes J.C.Staff any better. The animation is still terrible. This is just one aspect of the animation. If i could really be honest, if Madhouse could do such awesome animation without resorting to cheap crap like this then why can't J.C. Staff? This is just an excuse as to why SOME of the shitty animation is shitty. In the end, it's still shitty. Thnx for the info tho. The Anno Hideaki part was the most interesting.

@todd2580

im gonna continue watching this just for Aoki the regular sakuga animator for this alone

and i do not know who the hell those animators you mentioned since the only one that matters for the most sakuga scenes is Aoki source on that https://www.sakugabooru.com/post?tags=one-punch_man_2

todd2580 said:


well at least appreciate those animators too they tried their best though and can't deny aoki is the star of this season but remember he got some help too

deg said:


why are you stating the obvious that anime is a work of group of people?

the point is if there are like regular 3-5 Aoki caliber sakuga animators for this season then at least the action parts of this anime is saved

todd2580 said:


what i mean by that Aoki isn't the only who make sakuga on that season only those what i said above yeah they can't do much like Aoki but they still did something don't deny their efforts it's even in sakugabooru i mean don't talk like they didn't nothing lmao

xShinigami3125 said:

Stop crying about me crying about him crying about me crying.

deg said:


sakugabooru does not upload just sakuga worthy scenes they are like an archive of verified animations thats all

and look at that sakuga page of this sequel only Aoki stands out in sakuga worthy animation

im not denying the efforts of other animators lol wtf im just blaming the overall quality of this sequel and its thanks to the producers and production committee (JC Staff is not to be blamed here imo) that did not give enough time and talent for this anime
