I decided to give OPM S2 a go. Wow, Jesus Christ, this is so bad.
And it isn't even J.C.Staff's fault. Both Madhouse and J.C.Staff made an accurate adaptation, but for S2 the source material went massively downhill. Yes, art is not as good as S1, but it is alright, that's the smallest problem with S2.
OPM is essentially built around a big anti-joke: "How stupid would it be if the MC was literally unbeatable by any means? Let's do it."
This is worked quite well for S1, but for S2 it just got old. When Saitama fights there is no tension whatsoever. Every fight is meaningless if we know that he is unbeatable. All the jokes are the same, they all fall flat. The story completely falls apart.
There is an anti-hero (I already forgot every single name) slaughtering heroes left and right (it is the very same formula from S1, but dragged out waay too long), we know nobody can beat him, because what would be Saitama's role then, but still we have to watch these meaningless fights episode from episode. In multiple cases where a hero could actually beat the anti-hero, just a moment before the hit would land, some random character interrupts the fight.
Ok baseball-bat-hero's little sister is like forgivable since she's like little, doesn't understand things, etc. But before the biker-hero pisses me off: "oh he’s just a human, he doesn’t deserve this rough treatment". Sure, he only killed/hospitalised hundreds before, he’s totally cool…. WTF man.
Also can we talk about how this anti-hero has the most ridiculous retarded reason ever? Like as a little kid he was watching the Saturday cartoons, and "oh poor evil monsters always lose". If the heroes wouldn’t win, society would collapse, you wouldn't have electricity to watch your cartoon you stupid shit.
And now here he is murdering/hospitalising every single hero in sight. And of course nobody is doing anything about it. Against him and the other monsters appearing like 99% of the heroes look like dogpoop. Apart from a very few, all of them are completely worthless.
And meanwhile all the shit is going down Saitama entered some random tournament. Lol, like why? In online games we call it seal clubbing. Yellow-haired-incompetent-dojo-boy will not have any advantage out of this. Will Saitama create an another void S class super hero? Like before, in a way Saitama ruined King's life.
Not J.C.Staff ruined the anime. The art is fine. Everything else is the problem.
Dude, so you're saying that the biggest problem here come from ONE himself? God, I wish people is smart enough to understand the joke and the series.
The thing about OPM is not about the action or determined MC like every shonen did. It's seinen after all. It tells the story not from the dialogue alone, like every weak writer did, but from the experience Saitama did as well.
He's lonely, he just want to fight someone who's strong, and well, that makes him more human than any other heroes. He even can remember Mumen Raider, but he can't remember almost all the S class rank heroes. You know what that means? Saitama respect Mumen, not because he's strong, but he's the real hero.
And the monster treat in this show just shows how unheroic the hero could be. For saitama, he doesn't even care the monster treat level, even though he's so strong, he will defeat whoever the monsters are, as long as they're a treat. He even said that "if hero run away and hide, who's gonna stay and fight".
And that's the thing with Mumen. Even though he know that he's weak, he still fight againts the sea god. What the other heroes did? If they're weak, they will just run away, if they're strong, the monster is too weak for them.
For the Garou, Garou is a character that got develop to be one of the strongest villain in this show. Garou has a lot potential, even one of the biggest potential in this show to make saitama feel the real fight.
Garou going to be a real fight for Saitama!!
