I didnt think this was bad at all. People need to realise that this a different entity to the first season. The jokes were good enough the fights were really good at part, but at other parts is was kinda woeful. I dont think theirs pacing issues, except i wouldve liked the fights to longer

Man these blind OPM fanboys are really out here defending this shitty animation lol

In terms of content, it wasn't bad at all even though they cut out a lot of scenes and backstory involving Garou and Sonic, but other than that, it was adapted well in this regards

Animation wise however, the fight vs Fubuki was meh at best (Like my god, it looks so fucking bad when compared to the manga, where is that S1 team man TwT) and I deadass could only barely see the Great Value Genos vs Sonic fight lol

Are these animators at JC Staff even trying lol?

It seems many hater giving this 1/5 just because they are angry about animation.

The animation does not look bad at all. Maybe not as good as season 1, but it is not bad if you compare it to most of other anime. Also, animation is not everything, are people really watching this just because of visuals ?! not because of Saitama, humor etc ?! It is like saying that I only play games only for graphics

People like you who accept totally mediocrity when we've SEEN how good anime can look like with actual care and love put into them are the reason why the anime industry is declining. Stop letting studios shovel shit into your mouth, there is 0 reason to watch this anime over reading the beautiful manga or hell even the webcomic at this point with how sloppily they're handling things. It's only going to get worse too if that rumour that by the time they aired the PV they only had 3 episodes done is true.

I can understand Marvel and their millions being hard to top. But is Overlord bigger in Japan than One Punch Man? Honest question.

I got another fucking headache from this anime

The color is so bright sometime it burs your eyes ,and its ugly. People are deformed it looks wrong out of place million problems. Its a fucking joke and they should be ashamed of them self for releasing this disgrace and call it season 2

Positive things, Saitama i like him. He walks away instead of killing the beaten foe, and he dint hit the female

This train wreck can be some entertaining like a bad joke, but mostly it is just as fun as a migraine 2/10

At this point I'm just gonna stop complaining, it's doing nothing, we can't do anything about it. Personally I don't mind the animation at this point. It's obviously horrendous compared to the first season, but I don't care anymore for fucks sake. The main thing I can't get over, though, is how stupid the metallic/robotic parts looks (ex. Genos' body.)

I got a couple laughs out of the episode at least. After this season I'll probably pick up the manga.

Volume 9 of the manga (which this episode covers) is my favorite. This episode was disappointing. When I watched it I kept thinking "what is up with all these scrolling still shots? I might as well be just reading the manga". Also, when Saitama came out of his place to greet Hellish Blizzard, they didn't include the death glare she gave when she asked "Are you messing with me?" (from the manga). That moment meant so much to the creator that he had it span 2 whole side by side pages.

It's funny, when the index was ongoing, and someone pointed out some defect in the anime, always appeared a novelfag to defend the program, explaining how everything worked in the novel.
Here, on the other hand, nobody points out the comparisons with the manga to defend the adaptation.

I don't find the animation as bad as everyone says it is.
It's definitely not the best, but it's not the worst either.
The sakuga is mediocre at most in my opinion, and it doesn't ruin the show as a whole for me.
This episode itself was okay.

ik it's just a guess as to why they might've done it. Sometimes it's done to lower the age rating but OPM s2 is still 17+ so I have no clue

Man, the animation is actually not bad. But the directing is. They speak so fast without any gap for us to process their thought. That makes this adaptation feels lifeless, especially with Saitama's voice acting who suddenly has no other tone unlike season 1. They just adapt the manga 1:1 without thinking about timing, or pacing of dialogue. It actually make me sad.

Pacing has always been a problem with J.C Staff (looking at you, Index). I just didn't think it would be this bad with OPM.

Enjoyed the episode overall, even got a good laugh out of it.
Regarding the visuals, I'm one who defended the first episode, but here we had some huge issues with the ghosting, which was present in the first episode but here it was much worse. That's not an animation error as much of an editing issue that I feel could easily have been fixed and it surely will be in the BD version but it should have looked proper on TV as well.
I personally enjoyed the new op, not as much as the first one but it's good. The new ed on the other hand is awful to look at, the song is at least alright but the visuals are really really bad.

Holy fuck the manga elitists in this thread. Like yeah it doesn't look nearly as good as before but jesus christ...

Even tho the fights were not as hype due to the quality it was still pretty good. It was pretty funny how Fubuki is going on about all these strong as heroes that Saitama will never beat and then King just shows up. It would be cool if she "joined the team" as she mentioned, but idk how Saitama will feel about that. Either way, maybe she will leave B class.

This episode was visually a little better than the previous. At least the cuts felt better placed, though they're still pretty bad. Animation is about the same, though I think it looked a little better since the action wasn't as ambitious. The art style has grown on me just a little, though it still looks awful compared to what it was like before.

I have to say though, they ruined Saitama's voice. I found myself wondering multiple times whether they changed his VA because it just sounded to out of character and boring when compared to, for example, him gaming with King in episode 1. He's just a robot this episode and it's jarring. Like, I understand that he's supposed to be somewhat monotonous but they really dialled that up to 11 here and instead of making him sound bored/unimpressed/whatever it's just like he's incapable of changing his tone even slightly whatsoever. It doesn't mesh with his facial expressions and makes his performance sound off.

I did like the episode better than the previous, but both bored me. If the next episode isn't better I'll probably skip out on this season and wait for the next, since I've already read this arc to the end.

well i can tell that there are some problems in the animation but they're not really that major i mean it's just the coloring and shading which makes it look bad but other than that, everythingh else looks fine, i've seen way more worser ones out there that not even Toei Animation's bad animation of One Piece and Dragon Ball can't compare

The animation is not that bad...
I mean, it's a huge downgrade from season 1 (why the hell didn't madhouse continue with season 2?!), but if you compare it with your average anime, the animation is ok.
And about Garou backstory - they might do it later on. It's not unheard of to change the place in the show they insert the backstory.
All in all, decent episode, but not great.

Sure, it's both. Either way it's annoying. OPM was lucky to get the treatment it did in season 1. If it was just an average looking show there would be no complaints. You'd think ppl would have realized/accepted this by now.

Instead you get ppl screeching at you to read to manga. I'm no stranger to disappointing anime adaptations (looking at you Piano no Mori), but there's absolutely nothing you can do about it. Just take a deep breath and stop watching if it's that infuriating. Hell, maybe I should take my advice and stay away from the episode forums lol.

Because the director of Season 1, Natsume Shingo and his team are busy with other projects this year. I am guessing Natsume could have been free to make season 2 next year, but then the producers most likely were like it needs to come out this year, hence the change in staff and studio.

You're pulling some serious mental gymnastics in order to defend this. Quit acting like people's only complaints here are with the animation, or that that's the only thing wrong with this. It's shoddy all round, terrible cuts and shot composition, terrible sound direction (the effects and also the direction of the voice actors), terrible effects (could point to practically any). terrible design choices (namely Genos' arms and Sonic's armor, they look awful, but there's many more examples), they're cutting shit that should not be cut, and the pacing is notably awful too. The Fubuki vs Saitama fight and the serious side steps were some of my favourite bits from the manga, and here they felt weak as fuck. What even was the direction in any of it? The whole thing felt off, the side steps had zero impact to it and ended up being like, what, 2 seconds long? With no memorable sound? No actual illustrative animation...? (something you saw a ton of in the first season - transitions to stuff like the ground breaking, debris flying, the shock wave, the wind pressure, the rumbling... ANYTHING that could give the viewer a sense of notable impact or scale, was void here). Also there's just little to no sense of movement or location in any of the fights or sequences.
I could go on and on about all my problems with this episode (and the episode prior), most of which haven't even got anything to do with the animation. That's not even my biggest issue, it's the awful direction. This director has little actual experience directing a full on show like this and judging from the credits and all those numerous animation directors, he and the other staff are working on an incredibly shitty, rushed schedule. This is (and can only be expected to be) deeply flawed, deal with it. And try not to point to things like One Piece or Dragon Ball to defend this lol...
