"bleh bleh bleh impossibru animation"


Laughs in most of current blockbuster shonen with way better animation.

OPM is unluck, the animation is shitty, score is deserved.

Simple like that.

@DrkSeid69 That's literally what I didn't say. People should set realistic expectations, considering all that's written in my post. Also, bad direction ≠ bad storytelling. It can be either the manga to blame and/or the scriptwriter. Also, the direction wasn't BAD, it was mid. Anyway, it's a buildup episode, the team had to set their priorities to the action scenes.
@ManoCustaff This is funny, bad direction equals bad storytelling. The director can throw a happy or motivational soundtrack over a depressing scene, and you still call it good?
Compared to every anime that’s aired from the 2020s until now, this one is so far absolute garbage, almost on par with Blue Lock. You even gave credit to J.C. Staff for being greedy, torturing their animator, and pumping out ten anime per year, which is one of the main reasons anime quality has declined in recent years. Stop normalizing this shit.

Also, J.C. Staff is partly to blame here. Even after knowing they were taking on too many projects and messing up with OPM’s IP, they still decided to take it again and promised something like, "It’ll be good, trust me, bro."

People will be complaining about the animation even if it is objectively good. In this case they just have much more validity.

i still remember that übel blatt post in which someone defended the awful animation, rearranging of events making the story much worse and the censorship

and called people who called him out " hypocrites " because their favorite shows also contain censorship, DESPITE the fact that the issue with his post isn't that he liked übel blatt despite the bad anime adaptation, is that he was DEFENDING the shortcomings of the anime

so yes, people will complain about and defend anything lol

i myself love arifureta and Fairy tail, both series have bad animation and ( in arifureta's case ) cut too much content, however i never defended these flaws, i just love the series themselves with the flaws unfortunately is something i have to accept

as a clueless person in anime production industry, I'm just wondering about:

- S3 was announced back in August 2022, yet Bandai and JC STAFF were just able to come to an agreement in February 2024 in the preanimated garou fight trailer.

- Like, what was Bandai actually doing in the span of 2022 - 2024? Did they find it hard to negotiate with animation studios? Or there's something else that actually need to take that long apart from the animation production?

- In 2024, JC were already busy working on a dozen of projects, so they were only able to release a preanimated PV1 and started pre production in March 2025.

- Why did JC accept to work on S3 anyway, if they know they would only have several months to work and pressuring the staff to work in such unhealthy condition?

The same reason why they animated OPM S2, Toaru Majutsu no Index III and DAL III despite knowing full well that it would be bad due to tight schedule lol.

Y'all were very spoiled with season 1 it was lightening in a bottle by a very talented director with the help of many freelancers, now things are just correcting themselves to be what they always meant to be.

Let’s be real, if not JC Staff, who else would’ve taken the project? Madhouse dropped it because Bandai’s schedule wasn’t doable. Big studios like MAPPA, IG, or A-1 wouldn’t touch it either since they plan projects years in advance and wouldn’t pick up a leftover with a bad schedule. If JC didn’t do OPM, Bandai would’ve handed it to a smaller studio like 8-bit or Answer Studio, which could’ve been even worse. I’m not saying you shouldn’t criticize the anime, but at least understand it’s hard to reach S1 quality because of Bandai’s mismanagement. Let’s wait for the action before making a full judgment—JC Staff has talent, and some S2 fights already show that
@casilo This tendency to increasingly tolerate mediocrity and make everything feel good is starting to make me sick. But what should viewers care about all the problems they have in the first place? They're here for entertainment, not to hear excuses, and obviously if you give them something they don't enjoy, a series they care about will obviously be destroyed.

Let's address the elephant in the room: animation. Not only season 1 set the bar way too high, it was mostly made by freelancers, top tier folks, so something like that will NEVER. EVER. HAPPEN. AGAIN. Accept it. We've watched season 2. We know what to expect from season 3 animation wise. So why bother complaining like they could do any better?

J.C Staff rarely works with freelancers like Madhouse or Mappa do. They also pump out, in average, 10 anime in a YEAR. Let's be honest, what other studio can manage to do that other than Toei and keep a consistent overall (mid) quality? If anything, season 3 got the BEST in house director of photography, so it looks way better than season 2.

"But it looks static. One Powerpoint Man" so did season 2. And season 2 got excellent action scenes done by talented in house staff. The biggest issue was the horrible coloring choices and post production fx. They work overloaded AF. And yet, Nagai managed to finish the job before airing, in a studio like J.C it's a fucking milestone. Let us remember JJK season 2 literally making episodes 1 day before airing, hiring over 50 freelancers for 2nd ka.

So stop crying over Season 1’s untouchable glory and give J.C. Staff some credit for pulling off Season 3 under their crazy workload. It’s not gonna be Madhouse, but it’s already better than season 2.
If you really want to blame someone, blame Shueisha and Bandai, the main members of the production committee: They're the ones who chose to stay with J.C Staff again.

100% they did set the bar high, but that doesn’t mean they couldn’t have soared up to said bar. I understand the funding issues and change of staff, but at that point, just don’t put out an anime for it if you willingly have the choice to decline it knowing that you won’t be able to live up to its predecessor. Ultimately, they just made poor choices with getting the anime out. Season 2 was definitely a step down but idk about season 3 as i haven’t started it yet. I’m sure the animation is not bad by all means, in fact, it could be decent, but I’ll be certain in saying that it’s not the animation that OPM deserved. The plot and pacing also felt a bit off in season 2 despite having many great new characters. Regardless, I’ve heard it’s better to read the manga so I’ll probably just do that instead.

@DrkSeid69 They're not greedy, they do what they do to survive. In theory, they could turn down an offer, but that's not how power works, especially in Japan. If all studios are underpaid, then it makes no sense the greedy argument. And it's not me who's saying this, Chansard did. So yeah, the studio is in between a hard place and a rock: if they turn down OPM, they'd suffer consequences from the committee.

@thegodmayro Then someone should talk some sense into Shueisha's and Bandai's CEOs, for they clearly don't know or don't care.

The expectations are always going to be centered on the manga. People continue to bring up season 1 because season 1 did the manga justice. At least that is what many believe. Had it sucked people would still be bitching without holding up season 1 as the ideal adaptation. Instead they would just be complaining how the succeeding seasons failed to live up to the manga. The same will also always apply to Beserk. And Hokuto no Ken. And whatever else that has good art.

People mostly forgotten about season 1. But they are still reading the manga, at least I am. It is gorgeous looking thanks to Murata. When manga puts up a series of panels and pages like this then you are expected to do at least a rivaling job to satisfy the fans. It doesn't matter who worked how hard or who is at fault from the higher ups. It is completely normal for fans to talk about and compare it to S1. Because no casual fan will care about behind the scenes. This arc has so much fighting and mostly not by Saitama but other characters. Hope they can carry that responsibility and give us a good show.

@sanovagobong It doesn't matter whenever things come out good. Otherwise, those "fans" harass the shit out of the animators and overall staff. Nagai had to lock his Xwitter account before the show aired due to harassment.

Threads like these aren't going to stop people from complaining about it. As you said, the first season of One Punch Man set the bar pretty high for fans of the show. But even when you compare the art of the manga to J.C. Staff's animation, the animation pales in comparison to the manga. So, the current animation quality even does a disservice to the source material and manga readers.

Even if Shingo Natsume and studio madhouse would be on board with opm s2 there would be still very noticeable dip in quality because of many veterans whom were working on opm s1 were now busy working on other projects and season 2 as a high profile show and the manga they were adapting was very well animated.

@ManoCustaff No, it does matter when things come out good. Otherwise it is a failure. You can not just do a poor job when animating one of the most action packed manga IP in the industry and wish people to look the other way. That is not gonna happen. I also couldn't care less about director's name or his social media account. I am not defending those "fans" but I am allowed to be disappointed as a fan. And I won't look the other way. If something is bad, I will say it is bad.

I also read and watch Futari Solo Camp currently. Its animation looks exactly the same with episode 1 of OPM season 3. But it is a slice of life camping anime. It is basically just two people talking about camping with a mountainous background so it doesn't require a top notch animation. But OPM does.

Still, I think it is too early to judge the animation. It's only one episode, maybe it will get better.
