because the animation producer fukushi abandons the show after season 1

its a common delusion and fake news among fans that studio madhouse abandons one punch man but nah the animation producer that is employed by an studio holds the major decision too if they want to work on future anime sequels or not and fukushi one of the animation producers of madhouse choose to work on other anime projects like frieren instead of one punch man sequels heck we do not know if fukushi will still be the animation producer of frieren season 2

animation producer by default is the job that gathers the main staff anyway with their nepotism and smooth negotiations

@Bexx_ no, it wasn't bad. it's just that it was horribly adapted from manga and wasn't even close to s1. even i enjoyed it, but not as much as s1

let's be honest, Japan hates seinen animes, they only treat battle shounen animes and the most basic Isekai slops with care.

Swapping studios isn't as common now and opm was delayed before wasn't it?

When the big dog shows drop, they actually drop when they say they will. opm release schedule is a meme at this point, both anime, manga, and web. Which definitely hurts it

It's about an unemployed guy with average intelligence approaching middle age who is just trying to feel something. Young boys aren't going to relate to that.

OPM as a whole is a parody of shonens/superheroes, Saitama has basically already completed the training journey that take the entirety of shonens when the series starts

it's a parody of the basic superhero tropes plus if you're so strong, it becomes boring so what can you do but try to feel something to push you?

Companies have to want to do it. It's a pretty simple. Csm wad a passion project via mappa and why they put a lot into it. Also we have no idea what issues comes with making OPM. Like there a reason Wit drop AoT , because it was a production nightmare. so mybe OPM is also.

Same, although I only prefered it over s1 because of Garou, I'm very interested in him as a character and read ahead in the manga just to see what happened to him after s2, which also got me more hyped for s3

@Maxine1994 carried by garou and that one animator who animated all the best fights on s2. Jc staff can actually match the animation of s1 they just rushed the production and s3 will still have similar fate, maybe slightly better.

@MackyCortezzz I might just read the manga at some point cuz I forgot everything anyways because it's so long ago, and with season 3 probably going to be bad I feel like I'll enjoy it more if I read opm?

It will be just another S2, which is already mid, it will never reach S1 standards. Let's hope it doesn't get worse than S2.

Apart from the mid animation that I will expect in S3, the other thing that kills an anime for me is the godawful blurring/dimming effect that is used when an anime airs on TV because of that retarded Pokemon episode. OPM S2 had the retarded blurring/dimming effect when it aired on TV too and I hated it, OPM S1 didn't have it as far as I remember. Yeah, I know that shit is removed in the BD version, but I'm talking about the TV broadcast here, not the BD.

I hope OPM S3 doesn't have that goddawful, annoying and retarded as fuck blurring/dimming effect because that shit literally ruins an anime for me.

Do you know anything about the conditions in which Mappa's artists work for garbage like JJK? It's torture. I'd much rather have J. C Staff work on OPM if it prevents more business for studios like Mappa.

Cas they're handled by good studios which produce action tv shows majorly. Those are known for good adaptations and better animations but Jc staff , TMS studios majorly work on Non action shows. If only the management would have been a little patient enough then season 2 would have been another case. The bar that Madhouse took for season 1 which was 10 years ago was 🫡

@Otaku_4511 Good animation =/= Mismanagement

MAPPA was greedy. Shows like frieren and demon slayer have good animations too but neither Madhouse nor Ufotable are doing multiple mainstream projects all along but sadly mappa did that. And they are still at that. Jjk was the sole reason why mappa got so much spotlight back in 2020. Then after they announced AOT as their another project and then CSM and they kept going on and on , all mainstreams. If they'd have entirely focussed on one project at a time like the other ones then that wouldn't have been the case. JJK Is Peak and 2023 is the evidence of it. None other shows have brought the hype that it did when it was airing in recent times. The following season is going to be another banger and well congrats you can cry about it.

@Catherol_Zura You're missing their point entirely. They're saying they don't want MAPPA to work on OPM because it means more business for them, which means more mismanagement. So when you say ''The following season is going to be another banger and well congrats you can cry about it,'' you're basically saying who cares about how big of a sweatshop it turns out to be, if it results in quality.

That's fkd up lmao

@daft_mariner
The person said that such work culture is wasted upon a trash tv show. By what I meant is that that person is clearly pointing out that Mappa shouldn't give such high production standards to something like that.My first statement had that good production doesn't imply toxic work culture.
By season 3 being another banger means it'll be another good season with a better work culture , now that MAPPA's darker side have been revealed , and people like them can cry as much as they want for a "trash" to have the centre of attention.

Before replying here , I'd advice reading both their quote and my reply. Half knowlege is very dangerous yk.
