| The did the story right but not the sound design and some of the animations. I don't care how long OPM S3 takes as long it's decent enough. |
| I agree that JC staff did an excellent job with S2. It's enjoyable entertaining spectacular what more can I say? haa |
| They did an ok job but was not worth the wait as an anime only fan of the series |
| Season 1 didn't have the best story but it's got badass fight scenes. Season 2 was very lackluster when it comes to animation compared to season 1 with generic sound effects here and there. Since JC Staff is animating this yet again I won't get my hopes up. |

| Not much they could do since that arc is very weak even in the manga. The TV animation was pretty bad. They fixed it in the bluray release, but most people here only watched the TV and rated the season poorly because of that. I enjoyed S2 personally, not as much as S1 but it was decent. Garou's voice actor carries S2 really hard. The centipede being 3DCGI is very lame and it looked bad. |

Given the circumstances they did a fine job. S1 was just an extreme outlier in terms of animation quality so it makes S2 seem way worse in comparison but it’s by no means bad imo. S3 should be in a better situation so I’m looking forward to it
| @treejoh This. Its just that the story kinda relies on its impact frames to amaze people. For the manga, too. But this is coming from someone who didnt give 2 shits about ONE's story until Murata adapted it. |

| As someone who was an anime only viewer back then, I had fun while watching Season 2. It wasn't a sakugafest like the first season, but it doesn't mean its animation was as bad as many claim it was. It was actually decent, even if there were some scenes featuring reused animation, or visibly underwhelming looking sequences. But still, decent animation prevailed in this show. It was above average and there were many other action-centered anime released during the anime season in which OPM Season 2 had its premiere with worse production quality. I remember I liked more Season 2 than Season 1 in terms of direction. It was smooth and offered consistency. I'm not saying that Season 1 was bad in this aspect, because it wasn't. It wad really good. I just enjoyed more the way of handling the story and all types of scenes (slower, faster, mixed) in Season 2, that's all. What's more, the story felt more pleasant to track in the second season, but putting this totally subjective argument aside, I think the second season created by J.C. Staff was a solid one. While I'm still an anime only, and I don't plan to read the manga, I'm aware there were scenes and lines of dialogues that were left unadapted or were adapted by significantly shortening them. It happens in the creation process of any show, not only anime. I didn't feel confused even for a moment, but I admit that having a little more explanation of some extensions would have been mostly welcome. Though judging the anime as it was, it wasn't half bad and still holds up even if going by today's standards. In my opinion, J.C. Staff did a solid work and released a good looking second season od OPM that was enjoyable to watch. |

Absolutely. The animation was above average with some great-amazing moments.
It was inconsistent for sure, and with many flaws. But most anime are exactly like that, while also not being able to achieve the same highs that OPM season 2 had.
The problem is, that season 1 is one of the most well animated tv series of all time. There was no chance of living up to that whatsoever, especially since the production schedule for season 2 was so shit.

| @Mando727 Agreed. Season 1 set the bar really high and there were a lot of people expecting either the same, or better looking show, forgetting how special was the production process of the first season. Ace artists working on it, offering movie quality in every episode... Even today, after all those years, it still looks very impressive and even if it had been released in 2023 or 2024, it would've been praised for its visuals. Expecting Season 2 to be equally good looking as Season 1, or even topping it, was surely a cute expectation, but with very small chances to become reality in the end. And even then, the second season's animation quality was very good in many scenes, and alright in those that weren't that much impressive. So yeah, not as good as Season 1, not close to something eligible to be called as sakugafest, but still a piece of well animated show. I like the video you can check out down below. It has an in-depth analysis on why OPM S2's animation is actually good. |
| No they didn't. Neither was it the worst sequel ever. |
| I disagree. However I think that they will do a better job with S3, but Madhouse is still the better studio. |
 |
| Its not as bad as people say it is. However, it is a step down from S1 for sure |
| "Who agrees that JC staff did a good job with S2?" Me. I see no difference between season 1 & 2. It's been a while since I watched Season 1 and 2 but now I've finally watched the specials and I can confirm my opinion, everyone who thinks JC staff did a bad job is tripping. |

| @LenRea There is a light years difference between thinking that season 1,2 had the same quality of animation & was satisficed with JC staff job with season 2 . This is not an opinion or me trying to degrade you when I say that you must have some serious problems with your eyes if you really think season 1 had not difference with season 2 . You are becoming worse than the people you are attacking right now . |

| The fact people mention animation has the main factor of OPM decrease in quality in its second season absolutely baffles me. I might even say animation was actually one of the better aspect of season 2 but everything else was unbearable garbage and it's one of the most incompetent script I've ever had to witness. Second's season pacing and tone is all over the place, it goes from serious seinen drama to early 2000's shonen comedy without any transition whatsoever. It switches frenetically inbetween scenes and characters to shove as many retarded jokes as possible, starts of entirely dedicated to King, then goes to Garou, then goes to Fubuki, back to Saitama and Genos shenanigans, then other heroes doing random shit, then villain preparing their plans then back to Garou in solo, everything amounting to complete a mess feeling more like going around doing side quests in a RPG rather than following a single narrative. Main trouble going on in second season I think as well is its fucking BLOATED cast of characters, introducing 2 probably 3 main antagonistq for a single arc which obviously wouldn't have led to any conclusion in a 12ep cour as it did. First is Orochi which is basically teased as another Boros sending goons to do bullshit but does not serve any purpose, second is Garou, arguably only real antagonist of this season but also one of the most badly executed good concept I've seen, treated as both a joke and a threat without any nuance whatsoever, and last and SURELY least Suiryu, complete parody of a rival character with the most predictable outcome possible, also only relevant for like 3 episodes. All of this without mentionning the ENDLESS amount of monster goons and side heroes given a spotlight for no reason and with some of them having weirdly way more screentime than they should compared to the little but compelling screentime they got in season1, referring to the likes of Metal Bat and Sweet Mask. Plot basically goes nowhere, starts of as a comedy slice-of-life intersected with the most basic action shonen bad guy sequences, then suddenly a tournament arc which Saitama takes part in as if the joke wasn't already over the first second we realized how obvious the outcome would be, tournament arc with the most boring convoluted fights imaginable btw, and finally and All-Out-War bad guy invasion arc similar to Naruto's Pain Arc or DBZ Cyborg Saga. This amalgation of different subplots, character arcs and action scenes overall leads to a complete loss of every core themes in OPM first season. I wouldn't say OPM was supposed to be a "deconstruction" of the shonen tropes, I'd rather think it was more of a "celebration" of shonen tropes, all of that packaged in an very clever parody which would never fall in any of the clichés shonen usually have. Season Two on the other hand is an absolute joke, as I said it has everything medicore shonen arcs possess and even more, bloated cast of characters without enough time given to anyone to flesh them out, action scenes only for the purpose of action scenes even if it's just to see pathetic goons get demolished, bad guys with sad backstories overtaking the entire runime, an absurd romance subplot ??? thrown into the mixture and obviously the most abborhent pacing reminscing of the darkest hours of long running shonen jump mangas. I could honestly rant for hours how fucking dogshit this season 2 is and how much I have not a single hope this third season to be good, don't think I will even bother to watch it, feel free to argue because I already got annoyed by writing this much about such pointless garbage. |

| @Yubisoft you're nitpicking, there are some questionable decisions in the animation department when it comes to the season 2 specials, some use of bad CGI and such. But in general there's literally no drop in the overall quality, you still get the intended experience. But I'm only talking about the specials because I've only watched those recently, it's been years since I've watched the actual season 2 so maybe there are more bad CGI and such in there and I'd have to rewatch it to understand, so maybe you're right. But I highly suspect you're tripping and there's no actual drop in quality. |
| I think season 2 looks fine actually and that people are exagerating. But the season 3 trailer worries me cuz it looks kinda worse haha |
