You know as well as I do that the hate generated for OPM 3 began before any material was aired, those looking to attack it just used every possible reason to complain. I saw a thread complaining about the use of the still shot of the outside of Saitama’s apartment block yet in S1 ep1 the same shot with different lighting was used for about 15 seconds. Lack of background during action was also given as a reason that S3 is unacceptable yet S1 used similar shortcuts. Haters just don’t care how stupid their ‘reasons’ look because they act like a mob and try to bully anyone who doesn’t agree.

just because it works for one thing doesn’t mean its gonna work for everything, the issues with season 3 go much deeper than the “neon colors”.

The neon colors in Dandadan aren't nearly as annoying as the ones from OPM S3.

And the fact that not much happened in OPM S3 due to the shitty animation and direction with those godawful still frames made it a lot easier to focus on the neon colors, and yeah, they were quite ugly.

In Dandadan, I didn't even notice them that much because the nice animation kept my mind busy and away from focusing on the neon colors.

In short, Dandadan succeeded with the neon colors; OPM S3 failed.

the difference lies in who you use the stuff and In OPM it's the worst way possible

most of them are fine, but the shots on Garou specifically lose way too much detail.

Correct me if I’m wrong I haven’t watched the 1st season in a while but I’m pretty sure they never put in the neon lights so the addition of them now is what ppl don’t like?

Poor directing would be the best way to sum it up in 2 words. The "disco ball" shot in episode 10 where they make it look like a damn nightclub is the perfect example. Besides the fact that the way they're used is obnoxious and annoying, they appear to be deliberately trolling the viewer. The filters crudely and abruptly draw attention away from whatever might be happening onscreen, rather than enhancing it like in Dandadan. They're grossly misused in almost every instance.

about as expected. This thread'll probably stay though.

The weather's still just about the same. 15° C over here.

You can't be serious. OPM s3 replaced iconic panels the fanbase was looking forward to with bad looking still frames with random colors vomited on them.
What's next, "why do hate CGI in Berserk 2016 but not in Houseki no kuni?"

@BatoKusanagi this is specifically about color design only and to me its something trivial so im not talking about a major part of animation like consistent onmodel drawings or even 3d models here

@deg If you think people are only looking at the color design, then I can understand why you're somehow confused about this.

@deg I'm saying your take is too shallow. No one's complaining because the colors are too saturated or something. The problem is the whole frame looks bad and uninspired.

Do we really need to explain this? It's random, it's completely unnecessary, it looks like ass and it's overused to shit. How many of those shots were in 2 whole seasons of DDD? At least there, it made sense and wasn't used obnoxiously just to make you lose immersion and realize how cheaply this bs was made.

If I'm not mistaken, Seven Deadly Frames also had the random, stupid neon light coloring and how did that turn out? Sure, it wasn't nowhere near as bad as OPM, but it was still out of place and looked dumb. I'm pretty sure if it's done right and in consideration, people don't mind it at all.

@GTRaijin maybe a lot of fans calls it unnecessary but i think its a very minor complain compared to the animation quality and direction quality

heck i see less complains about continuity errors of scenes

Bro have you even watched both shows????
DDD has beautiful animation and on top of that the neon shots were used so well that some people like me didn't even notice em at all. On the other hand, OPM s3 fucked up... This is not even a debatable statement rn. It fucked up way too bad, from using still shots for a long ass time, putting neon frames after every breath, PowerPoint animated fights, and even arguing with overseas fans for watching it illegally. We were holding Bandai Namco alone accountable for it, but JC Staff also farted here and there so you gotta hate on both. The only ep that was actually kinda OK was the Flashy Flash fight and that was the bare minimum btw.

because neon color in dandadan have an strong context behind that. the neon color is avoid thet show domain area of each yokai, ghost, alien or cryptid. and each of them have a different a spesific color. but, neon color in the opm s3 have no context and out of nowhere.

At least Dandadan knows how to use colors in a right way unlike opm s3 that not only they overuse it, but it’s used the wrong way
