| It's clearly a downgrade from the first season, but it wasn't as bad as the trailer had made me expect from it. It was okay. |

'Cause, firstly, I appreciate the lengths you went to unbiasedly talk about the change of animators -as though those issues weren't a given.

Its been one episode, it's been looked at holistically rather than just in regards to animation. And, most are on the bandwagon for hating on this seasons animation instead of actually trying to watch it. Dont try and change that narrative so the vocal minority seem to be the majority. First I would like to agree on the fact that I shouldn’t have use the word “season” since it not representative of what I wanted to say here. Second, I never said that -> “ why are people trying to say that this season is good” I was mainly stating that I found the overprotection of this new series stupid mostly if we are talking about the animation. It sure as been only one episode and still could go in all possible directions but the lack of proper direction of the animation makes for an alarming future. The point is that the animation is bad, like really bad even for a studio like J.C. It sure is not horrible, and is still watchable, but for one of the episode they had the more time to work on, it’s alarming. The rest of the episode was relatively great but, I mean, it could mainly be attributed to voice acting and music... which can be credited on the talent of individuals. So yeah, I really don’t blame people for not wanting to watch an “animated adaptation” if the so called adaptation is not well executed. I surely won’t ask for amazing animation like what we had for season one. I know full well that it was something special even for the Japanese animation community. But right now I don’t like the direction of this series and I wouldn’t be able to call this new animation direction “decent” |

But right now I don’t like the direction of this series and I wouldn’t be able to call this new animation direction “decent” First of all, paraphrasing, I didn't quote you literally. Secondly, I don't know what you're seeing but most have been bashing the second season off of the animation. It's been one episode, and the majority are referring to OPM 2 as not being able to compare to the first season. You dont like the "direction", on what grounds? Was the voice acting bad, was the first episode's story bad, was the music bad, and then you wanna say the people justifying this episode is stupid; they've looked beyond just the animation (by general standard, still decent and while recognising its hiccups -but not solely in comparison to the first season. You're stupid for crying "I dont see the direction of this series" (again, paraphrasing) because of the animation. Have they changed the storyline, or is your issue with the source. And no studio is so inept to work on episodes on a weekly basis if it's not long running; it'd make more sense for them to lay the foundation why before airing, I get you dont know how to think (hence your complaints) but at least struggle to learn that much. P.S. So calm your sh*t down, and get over the average animation -by general standards (because for f*qs sake, for all your long winded bs, all I'm getting is you saying "JC cant make OPM season one level animation" everyone knows that. Say something new apart from spouting the general consensus of ep 1. You gotta realise that you're not the only one saying it, yet I'm responding to you in particular 'cause you're the only one who felt the need to quote me to also talk about how the animation is bad... there was 100's before you who said that and I've nothing to say to them because I've not disagreed. But for some reason, because I'm on the side of those who look beyond the animation quality if it hits a standard, you decided to make me some strange majority that's virtually non existent because the general consensus is the animation was on the greater side of things. So, shh. |

| It's not that bad but it's not like WOW! OPM is back! The animation quality has definitely deteriorated and they have a lot of still and awkward shots. Fight scenes aren't as satisfying but this is just the first episode and I hope they improve. Of course,I will watch until the end of the series since the story is still good. |
| 臭い- |
| Fucking OPM is back baby! Poor King, I did not expect that he's like this lol. And damn even other heroes are hunting Saitama. Just leave him alone |

So, shh. Ok, I don’t know why I even try to respond since you don’t even try to read what I wrote... First and foremost you did not paraphrase, paraphrasing is to express the meaning of (something written or spoken) using different words. This has nothing to do with what you did since you changed my whole argument. In second place, I literally said that the voice acting and the music was good so why are you trying to make me say it was bad ? Also, for me the story is from the manga and so has nothing to do with the animation studio. My whole complaint is around the animation, not the rest, and because of that i’m targeting the team that made/ directed this animation. The music, voice acting, story etc... can be attributed to talented individuals that take time to add the flavours to the animation ( yeah they did work “for” the studio in this case but their line of work isn’t affected is the animation doesn’t work ). So, for me, their work is tainted if the studio didn’t make the effort of making the animation interesting. “Looking beyond the animation” is literally the same as asking to read a manga with voice acting and music ( I would agree that this is a little exaggeration but i’ve made my point). Finally, no I did not want to make your argument the one of the majority. Also I’m sorry that I chose your post over the post of someone else to make my point. Turns out yours was written a little better than most of the others ( and also on the last page ) but I admit I was wrong since you don’t seem to construct your arguments on reading what the other actually said, but interpreting what you want to read from them, so yeah. P.S If the only thing you got from what i’ve said is : “JC can’t make OPM season one level animation” then, I would gladly ask you to take the time to read that phrase I wrote in my actual response : Hitoriki said: I surely won’t ask for amazing animation like what we had for season one. I know full well that it was something special even for the Japanese animation community. But right now I don’t like the direction of this series and I wouldn’t be able to call this new animation direction “decent” P.P.S When i’m talking about the direction of the show, i’m talking about the directing team behind the animation part, not the literal direction the show takes since you didn’t seem to catch that ;) . P.P.P.S I have to add this since you don’t seems to know that when they released the trailer they only had two episodes done which is very few and can easily put the studio behind schedule so yeah : “at least struggle to learn that much” |

| I'd never thought I'd like this episode. I like the comedic timing, King's entrance and such. Still got me hype. |
   smell of coffee songs of sleep  |
| the transitions were so bad tbf its not horrible but its not good either. the smoke surrounding the whole screen when genos fought that robot looked cheap. however the ep is still watchable saitama was great. |
| R.I.P OPM you deserved a better studio... |
| Welp it's not that bad so far. King is OP to be sure. |
| "The future is always blank. Only your willpower can leave footsteps there." "Ruling over death means ruling over life. Death is the climax of life. To have the best death, you must honor life." |
| OPM's story and presentation were just slightly above average pre Boros, post Boros it's pretty much the same shit, just slightly worse. What a pity you can't hide that mediocrity anymore behind a pretty animation. |
| It's probably best that people don't hold this season to the same expectations as season 1. Even if there's a change in studio, doesn't mean that the show is going to be shit, it can still be enjoyable. But with the amount of elitism that fans have, the show is gonna dip a lot in the ratings, kinda like LotGH (2018) or Steins Gate 0 |
So I've been banned from MAL-Badges, after spending nearly two years of my time and dedication to helping out, being the club's spokesperson, and planning for the revamp, it all goes down the fucking drain. What a joke the club has become. I advise everyone to stop using the feature and stop showing their support for the site and the club. We were promised that we will see changes come to the site, and nothing's been done for the past year. I doubt the site will be touched for the foreseeable future. If you're angry and annoyed about the lack of development, then good, you should be. |
GoldenDevilGamer said: Damn, a lot of people are acting like as if watching this will burn your eyes or something. Compared to an average production, this looks alright. The question is whether or not they can keep the quality for the episodes that truly matter, like episode 4 or episode 12 (assuming they keep the same pace as this episode, those episodes will have some of the more major fights). During non-action scenes, the artwork is good, but the coloring and shading is bad. Limited animation, but it's not a deal-breaker. S1 even used a lot of panning for moments where characters simply talk. As for the action, the cuts vary from bad to decent. But the decent cuts were quite short in this episode. In the end, this is miles better than whatever that nightmare of a PV showed us. People are now gonna overreact for the sake of overreacting. Sure, compared to S1, it's immensely disappointing. But stop acting like this is the worst treatment OPM could've ever gotten. I'm pretty sure any other studio other than Bones and maybe MAPPA would've given it similar production values anyways. S1 was too unreal of a production anyways, with so many freelancers and industry bests working on it. S2 was always bound to look limited in comparison. In the end though, people are better off just reading the manga for a better experience. Yeah like WTH. It doesn't mean OPM is doomed. |
| the directing is better than s1, the graphic not as good as s1 but the scene more impactful and the tone more serious while the comedy more bold |
 MAL score and most user-based rating system are all joke, Imagine trusting plebs and hivemind. Find users who have good sense and rating and use them as a reference. Check my guide to rate Your taste is trash. Cope, seethe, mald |
| damn Saitama is finally back yasss |
 |
| First episode was pretty good. Its defiantly a different art style but i do not mind it all that much. Only thing that bothered me was genos's arms but even that I can deal with. |
 |
| I was quite worried that the animation was gonna be bad, since a different studio is doing it, but it turned out to be really good. Good start for a second season tho. |
| Not as charming as I remember... compared to last season, this episode doesn't contain as much humour. Let's see what we get in the next ep |
  |
| The animation isn't as good as S1 but I still like it. King reminds me of Mr. Satan and I never liked Mr. Satan. It's cool that he likes video games though. I hope the idiot confesses that he didn't win those fights but he probably won't. |
| My expectations of all visual elements of the anime are low and always have been. The manga has always been more of a visual treat for me than the anime. I'm more into just watching the anime to see their take on the webcomic and manga since there are differences every now and then. That being said, I quite liked how they adapted this part of the manga! They comedic timing was nice and everything. I think the one thing they kinda missed was the emphasis that King pretty much left people to die. Like they glossed over it when they could have drawn more attention to it. Also, the manga store tab at the bottom is serving as reminder that I have a lot of catching up to do on buying the OPM manga volumes.;; I mean, yeah, you can read it online legally for free, but I still like having the manga in paperback. It's one of my favorites after all. <3 Not the anime though. Yet here I am. No but honestly, it's a nice start. Would I have started with King? Maybe not, but it seems like it works and set the mood for how this season will work out. |
| Well... It's not that bad. |
 |
| Animation is very crisp but my god during action scene it felt they cut huge chunk of action.My reaction was kind a like huh?? Feels like director simply cut some parts. |
| Aw poor King. I love anime. |
 |
| I don't think I wrote a message on this episode,so just gotta put it out.JC did a great job throughout this season. |
Come on man,where is that Noragami season 3 masterpiece.We want it, Bones! |
| Genos still pretty OP but looking forward to seeing Saitama in action! |
| I'm Bruneian and I like anime. And Manchester United. And fat cats. |
| Well the animation definitely looks different compared to the first season, what a surprise. But seriously, I thought it would be much worse. The action scenes were okay even if I have to agree that the metal parts looked a little bit weird cgi like. Besides from that I didn't expect King to be a false hero. So a lot of monsters who got killed by Saitama he got credit for. And I was really hoping to see him in action especially because the episode focused so much on him. Funny enough that he and Saitama met before and now they are game buddies :D But who created that robot who came to fight King? This thing was pretty strong and even Genos didn't had an easy time. Was nice to see Sonic back and finally a first look at Garou. I heard his voice before from the previews but it fits so well. Looking forward to see what will happen this season. I'm just happy OPM is back. |
 |
| 90% posts = Arts,Animations,JC Staff. 10% posts = About the episode. It's ironic how King, who's a popular hero and thought to be strong, is now friend with Saitama, an unpopular hero who's strength is known to few peoples. |
| He who smiles in a crisis has found someone to blame. |
| Lmao Saitama casually playing with King Love how King is the exact opposite of Saitama Animation looks a bit weird but story looks hella good |
 |
| Honestly wasn't that bad. I enjoyed it quite a bit. |
 |
| Screw people complaining about the animation and a different studio, that was fun. King is the literal polar opposite to Saitama's situation, lol Glad to see they kept "ONE PUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUNCH" in the new OP |
