Uhm.... the studio hating Garou or something? Epd 1, Garou walking out from the cell is horrible. Epd 2... Garou animation sliding down from that is...........................
When he flashback from the season 2, the different is kind a lot....
But I think his fighting animation is alright.

As much as I wanted to hate this episode, I enjoyed it much much more than the first one. The art seems on par with the first season atleast and the overall aesthetic is there. You can tell that J.C staff is trying atleast.

For the people comparing it to Blue lock, That's honestly baffling because here this is some actual animation and heart put into it. Yes we know its not gonna be as fluid as the first season but if anyone's still expecting that level of animation then they're only fooling themselves.

If they can keep this up, I'll enjoy it and might pick up the manga eventually.

This is disappointing, at least I expected a production quality like that of the second season.

I can only hope they are saving budget to the battle heavy episodes to come and these first couple episodes are just to set up the whole thing, but if it doesn't pick up from the next episode onwards I don't think there's any saving this season either.

Well, it was better than the 1st episode in terms of pacing, I will give it that, but it wasn't that much better.

I think there's no need to mention the animation at this point.
It's a shame, because I feel like this season (and the last one too) have much more going on in terms of plot than the 1st season (that didn't particularly have a plot), but the storytelling is just so off, even the joke deliveries are off. Maybe previous seasons were already like this and I simply don't remember. Last season I had The Shield Hero that started rushing the story and became a mess at the end, and now, as a substitution, it seems I have One Punch Man.

Anyways, it seems Garou is conflicted about becoming a monster, because he still cares for people, especially that kid.

Also, not sure if it was just me but the pacing and order of scenes felt kinda off this time.


For sure, the pacing for this season is super off, I don't know what's happening there.

Ok episode, it was decently funny at times. Nice to see Garou talk with that kid again.

Sasuga hentai director, making the camera stay still on Fubuki's massive tiddies for like 30 seconds...

Season 2 is still better than this shit.

I had negative expectations for the production and still ended up disappointed. Like, I know Garou is sliding, but they couldn't even be bothered to add particle effects or something for this shit. The memes about to come from this are going to be legendary.

kinda hilarious everyone freaking out about the animation when nothing worth having high frames has even happened yet. As for when he slides down the hill, he slid down the hill, no it wasn't well animated but let's not pretend he was supposed to be walking. When we finally get some actual fight scenes, THEN let's complain if the animation still sucks. Who cares if talking or general nothing exciting happening has low frames or lots of stills, NOTHING IS HAPPENING WORTH ANIMATING. Like I hate bad animation but mostly when it actually matters, could care less if uneventful content isn't high quality, save the budget for the actually exciting scenes. Ep1 and 2 have given us nothing to really care about yet, I'll hop on the "bad animation" train, if it still sucks when we actually get to the exciting content. Like exposition dumps have low effort animation?? go figure lol

I just finished watching one punch man season 3 episode 2 on Musa Asia, they ended the episode before they had fight scene, seriously I was expecting they will use animation from trailer
This episode was huge disappointment

they had this animation from trailer , but they didn't show on this episode

Because that’s probably next episode…?

Man they're really putting no effort int this season at all, that scene of Garou moving down the hill was painful to watch. The restaurant was funny though and the lack of animation doesn't really hurt the more comedic scenes generally.

I’ve always loved Garou, and I doubt most people hate him either. So, I really enjoyed this episode focused entirely on him, with Saitama and Fubuki as guest characters, haha. Either way, Garou’s probably taking out those two monsters, but I’m curious how it’ll look when animated.

That said, this is honestly quite sad. It’s better than nothing, but it doesn’t change how sad it really is. This series is as popular as Sakamoto Days, Demon Slayer, JJK, and AOT, so having a studio that specializes in anything BUT action, animate such a beloved action series feels wrong.

People keep saying it’s about money or deadlines, I ain't sure if it’s one or both, but it definitely could’ve been handled better. Sure, we waited six years and the studio hadn't started working on it until recently, nevertheless, there was no need at all to rush it.

What’s so fun about giving it the Promised Neverland, Blue Lock, and TBATE treatment? Why do we get rewarded with a PNG image sliding down a hill, no matter how “realistic” it’s meant to look, after waiting six whole years? I guess the only reason is that life is unfair. Let's cope and say that it is what it is.

It doesn't matter what happens on the screen, they still need to put effort into it to look good. You can't call it anime if it's not animated...

some people are really coping hard. People are defending it with it's mostly talking scenes but come on! we've scene plenty of animes without action scenes and it's never this bad. they find ways to keep scenes interesting with minimum animation. But OPM is just lazy panning amd focusing on fubuki's boobs in hopes of distracting the audience.
@shinlightning People are just blindly coping. There are plenty of anime within the same genre where they have exposition episodes that characters just mainly talk to each other, but they still properly animate it with head moment, hands movement, body movement, different type of second animation, etc, not just still frame with mouth and eyes movement with camera panning. Saying "it's not an action heavy episode so they don't need to animate everything." is such a dumb thing to say imo.
