I think they say that because the first season was so great it's almost impossible to achieve again. So no matter what happens they're sure to be disappointed. 🤔

Toaru Kagaku no Railgun I would say was their best series and it had great animation.

‘Fans’ seem to think it’s cool nowadays to look down on everything and be judgemental as if they could do better, write better stories, animate everything by hand in 2d etc. MAL is crawling with ultra talented anime makers who never made an anime. Nothing is ever good enough. There are still people on here who enjoy anime, the ratings show that. But being positive in the forum attracts scorn and negativity so most people enjoy what they watch in silence. I will evolve to that state eventually I guess…

It's Madhouse's fault for setting the bar too high. JC aren't at that level, which makes it bad for most people, even though they are decent.

Most people here don't know this.
But it's not about the studio, it's about the staff.

If you can have a really good staff working on it, then the studio doesn't matter.

Because JC Staff already did S2 and it was a huge downgrade compared to S1.
I still don't buy it that JC being bad by default, because they still animated Danmachi, which has very good animation.

Many sources have stated that the schedule is tight, which means that animators have less time to truly shine in production time, etc. JC staff is just a studio, tho they have sum decently talented animators, so when we think of s3, we hope that they can beat those negative thoughts that we have. Also, the trailers show no type of action per say, so it creates distrust within the audience.

Tho, I'm very confident that it will look better than s2, based off the current trailers, the compositing and the drawings look stronger, but considering that this series has so much action, no showing of action is "worrying".

Madhouse did an incredible job with S1, so even though J.C.Staff's animation is good, it doesn't hold a candle to S1.

That's literally all it is.

Fr Bro, I think exactly the same and these "fans" nowadays are really annoying with all the "bad animation stuff" BUT at the same time cry about Demon Slayer being carried by animation solely. This incosistecy of theirs is really funny but annoying at the same time.

I don't know what you mean by MAPPA's level, but despite MAPPA being one of my favorite studios, I would say MAPPA is not for series like One Punch Man. The manga needs Bones' treatment only.

People have only two opinions: you either demand a 11/10 perfect masterpiece or it's going to be the worst anime in existence. Are we seriously doing this?

The truth is always somewhere in-between, and it's going to be mid af. Not awful, slightly better than s2, but still not as good as s1.
Really, all you need is functioning eyes and some braincells (optional) to draw this conclusion. Even the director said to not expect anything beyond bare minimum.

And no, almost no one hates on smth just because "it's cool". Majority LOVED s1, it had close to zero haters. By your logic, we all should have tried to find flaws there as well

Yes, what you are saying is facts. I've gotten into it with some folks and I've told them they'de probably benefit by starting to animate themselves cause of how critical they are (usually means they have a passion for it as that's what happened to me). I used to write in depth reviews and now I'm finally making my own series👍

A trailer is supposed to hype people by showing the best and all I see is still frames and garbage. I don't think this is going to be the old switcheroo, but I would be really happy if it was.

I mean mappa studios usually present very good animated anime especially for action type anime like Jjk for example so many people say that/this need mappa or ufotable level animation treatment so I just said that when I said "mappa level" and about bones studios, they already hang up their hands in air after releasing season 1 that it will be very difficult and very hard for them to continue animating opm new seasons.

@FutoiOtaku You don't need to be a chef to know that the food you were served is bad. You don't need to be a mechanic to tell that your car isn't working. I'm not saying I could animate better but it's their job, not mine.

I watched the first episode and thought that it must have been a no name studio doing this season. I hate to hate, but I feel like it was bare minimum animation.

This 100%. Where is the team that made my list below (JS Staff shows that I have personally watched with, in no order, decent to great animation). Azumanga and Aria have the "worst" animation out of this list and they still blows the first episode of OPM S3 out of the water in terms of animation and production.

Toradora!
Danmachi
Pet Girl of Sakura-sou
Saiki K
Shimoneta
Konosuba
Index / Railgun Series
Date A Live III
Combatants Will Be Dispatched
Azumanga
Aria the Scarlet Ammo
Okaa-san Online
Little Busters
Joshiraku
Demon Girl Next Door

That ED alone has amazing animation. I would say that Danmachi is debatable on how good it is overall (even I hated it at first, but have come to love the series especially after the newer seasons), but the animation is good.

Irrelevant information.
"Chimp in state of nature never jerks off, but in captivity he does, wat does this mean? In state of nature he’s too busy, to put plainly. He is concerned with mastering space: solving problem of life in and under trees, mastering what tools he can, mastering social relations in the jockeying for power and status. Deprived of this drive to development and self-increase he devolves to pointless masturbation, in captivity, where he senses he is in owned space and therefore the futility of all his efforts and all his actions."

@MadanielFL Not to discredit you, I think its interesting to see what he has worked on and compare the different series, but there are a lot more staff involved in those anime than just Fujishiro Atsushi.

I think that OPM S3 currently has issues with both direction and animation. Fujishiro is only one of four producers and there is a separate director, so I don't think its fair to pin all the blame or fame on just him. There is a site that can be used to compare full staff for anime but I dont have the motivation to check all those series against OPM, and the site wasn't working properly when I tried it.

If you can have a really good staff working on it, then the studio doesn't matter.
@MadanielFL You're right, the OPM S1 could bring a lot of animation talents due to the contacts of Shingo Natsume (S1 Director), and almost all of them were freelancers or animators from other studio, specially from Bones due to his work as director in Space Dandy. He couldn't return as director bc he was working at a movie called Boogiepop wa Warawanai which has a lot of cuts of big talented animators at todays date. If you see MadHouse recent projects in the last years, you'll see a lot of decent productions with a good to mid animation, instead of Frieren and Shingo Natsume's productions, this because of what you said, the production have a good staff behind the project.

@FutoiOtaku This really seems like a very lazy argument. We're customers and they're the workers. If they deliver a disappointing product, it seems natural to me that people would complain... and it's like if I went to a restaurant and ate a subpar dish, would you then say, "Make the dish yourself if you have to complain?" That would be madness. You don't have to be a writer or an animator to judge and criticize. This seems like a fairly logical argument to me.
