How anyone could accept this absolutely bull animation in a studio of this caliber. It looks like they just want the IP go dead

I don't mind the animation, but why tf the pacing is so bad

they also switched some scenes on the anime

Zombie man was suppose to be the last scene instead of Garou. But i guess its for the hype of the battle. Tbf the pacing was quite weird. Felt a bit akward, at least for me

Definitely not gonna be the last time Fubuki's chasing after Saitama but lmao, that escape tactic was as gold as that single fry.

A lot of pans as usual but at least some of the parts near the end were sort of cool.

@18927 Except if you watch it at anything that isn't a fridge you can see the grass effects on screen as it shows he just slides on the grass slope. Sure, it looks weird, but trying to paint is as "beyond saving" is as nitpicky as hell

That's not exactly a bad animation. They wanted Garou to slide down without moving. For that this is actually how you would do it.

This episode was okay!

The story continues, that's what really matters!
I need somebody who can love me at my worst
No, I'm not perfect, but I hope you see my worth
'Cause it's only you, nobody new, I put you first
And for you, girl, I swear I'll do the worst

If you stay forever, let me hold your hand
I can fill those places in your heart no else can
Let me show you love, oh, I don't pretend, yeah
I'll be right here, baby, you know I'll sink or swim

I’m still flabbergasted (first time I ever use that term in my life) that the production committee thinks that this studio and director can be in charge of a successful manga like OPM

Somehow this episode was even worse than the previous one. More slideshow with barely any animation and a plot that quite literally goes nowhere. This entire episode's content would've been only been five minutes in a single episode of a competent show.

A few more frames drawn than the episode 1, but still looks mostly like poor fanmade, not reaching minimum quality. They also keep abusing with scenes with just 1 frame drawn but with zoom to make appear there's movement, so cheap and blatantly looks bad when abused this way.

Still feels like powerpoint, does not have any flow, nor good transitions.

The even got wrong the bad drawings of Gintama when does something stupid. It doesn't got good delivery, not funny.

@Poloniavick There's literally nothing left to this story at this point. At least until chapter 150's or so... And even after it's not that big of a deal. They just have nothing to work with compared to the 1st season which was ground breaking. Sad but it is what it is, maybe that's why they're not putting much effort into it.

@casilo Nitpick? That's only one cut corner of many in the animation, to the point where it looks incredibly cheap and lazy. Like the scene where Saitama runs off from the restaurant, they couldn't bother actually animating him running out of the restaurant, so they instead just zoom the frame out while he essentially runs in place with a lazy animation.

This anime is supposed to be a comedy, but it's the joke itself. I mean, there is no much to say. The overall quality of animation was quite the same or even worse comparing it to the first episode. The sliding scene of Garou made him look like he was flying. Yes, the animation was a bit better towards the end of the episode but still. It was not great at all. The fact that we are getting hyped when we see animation it's absolutely ridiculous.

Citizens! This cannot be ignored. If you encourage such shoddy work, soon the Japanese will be releasing web novels and PowerPoint presentations instead of anime. Even if there are 10 seconds of well-animated fight scene in the third season (done by the janitor for two cans of beer during a smoke break), you must not give in to provocations and inflate the ratings for this disgrace.

We waited for 6 years. The second season was shameful, but at least it had some animation. Here, for 20 minutes of anime, we get 19 minutes of static frames and only one minute of animation. This is a joke, right?

I expected that they were going to drag things out that they would not have to show the fight. And my bet is, they will skip it and just show the outcome in the next ep.

@Ranchpig shit, for real? No wonder they are not putting in any effort then. The second season's plot already sucked, but this one sounds absolutely pointless.

@Poloniavick studio of this caliber? J.C. Staff is a mid studio that produces a lot of trash. Just look at "The Way of the Househusband", it's the same quality as a Queen Bee hentai.

Definitely a better made episode than episode 1. Though it's taking quite a while to actually see how well animated the action is, which is gonna be the "make or break" aspect of this season for most.


Honestly I couldn't care less about the animation at this point, OPM's biggest issue isn't even it's animation, it's the plot.
I like to watch some anime, I like to talk about some anime, I dislike wars over some anime, but more than anything I love to live my life, anime is an enjoyable and entertaining addition onto my life but it's not my whole life.

@18927 It's not about effort, it's about contacts. The director is not well known, so he can't balance the studio's gigantic workload with top tier freelancers like Bones can, they pulled out an army of elite animators. Why? The director knows a shitload of people.
@ManoCustaff Not exactly correct, the director doesn't make or break the animation in a show. In fact, they usually don't do ANY animation at all. The director is responsible for exactly that, directing, things like the pacing, the tone of a scene, and general management of how the project is gets made is done by them.

The producers are generally the ones who are supposed to know people and get talented people to work on a project. Even for all it's faults even Oshi No Ko got that right.

OPM EP2: The Walking Mans.
Pacing is like in the manga, so we can't blame that.
But I think that in the next episode we will see what they do with fighting scenes.

@SuntProstMare Fr, so many people complaining about the animation. Like, that's hardly even the issue here, rather the fact that we're 2 episodes in and have barely had a single fight scene. Along with the slow pacing to get the story moving past where season 2 left off, we've seen some movement this episode, but last episode was especially bad in regards to pacing.

They do Danmachi and their fights are really entertaining, if they had put that level of animation in OPM nobody would have complained, NOBODY.

@casilo You mean, tons of bad stuff at this ep? Can’t even animate a simple sliding properly? A slight trailing? A matting of the grass? A small shift in balance? Anything to make it look like he was interacting with the environment? They can't even animate that?

Previous episode was a slideshow. This one is a smoother slideshow. I've seen better fan animations...
I hope the fight scenes in the next episode have a few more frames.
