This episode was slightly better than the first one but not very much really, if next episode won't show BiG improvement then I think that this season is screwed and probably this will be last season of One Punch Man for many many years, I rate this episode as 5/10.

Do manga authors even have any choice in studios and whatnot? I know they can basically hand pick VAs and request OPs/EDs but with studios, idk?

Mhm, things are already starting to heat up. Garou is exactly what they call an Anti-Villain rn as he hasn't killed a single hero despite beating heroes and proclaiming that he's a monster.

Overall, decent episode yet again. Pretty hyped for the next one knowing Garou is abt to fight for his life.

Also, that whole dine and dash scene was pretty funny xD

@18927 As lame as this episode was, I have to say you need to touch grass. Seriously. Dude is effortlessly sliding down a slope of grass. There is nothing to animate here.

For me, more than anything this doesn't FEEL like OPM. I know this story arc is just the monster association and garou, but the pacing and the atmosphere just feel off.

ummm, its a little better from the prev episode. But damn, it's still sucks, a lot of static slide shows, and garou's slide, and it was very slow, like no directions, then when it has direction, suddenly the episode ends.

That's not exactly a bad animation. They wanted Garou to slide down without moving. For that this is actually how you would do it.

I’m not even an animation snob, but even I could tell you that an average quality animation would interact better. Make the grass move out of the way of the foot, add some particles from dust/dirt, have Garou slightly shifting his body around, slightly vary the speed of the descent to represent real physics acceleration/friction.

He literally looks like he’s floating down like an angel 💀

Some hope in the music. There was a good background score when Garou was talking to the other 2 monsters. But the score, itself while epic, seemed a bit out of place; I have some hope that it may redeem the anime a bit. As a person who enjoyed Kingdom season 1, animation doesn't bother me as much but I will countenance that when compared to previous seasons, this is a bit disappointing.

Edit: Looking at the studio's other works, including their 3D works, but this is just dross. I can't blame a director who lacks experience but this is not a felicitous assignment. Let them work on smaller shows to prove themselves.

Not really good tbh but wouldn't say it's bad either. That scene near the end was cool. We'll see how they handle the action next episodes.
Gotta say the pacing is really throwing me off though.

@FreedomFighter28 That's less of an animation and more of a compositing/storyboarding issue. From this far, you won't be able to see how the grass moves, realistically there shouldn't be dust and small movements of his body couldn't be seen either.
So, from this distance, that's a relatively okay-ish animation.

Normally yes, this is not how you would do it, but this is far from being a bad shot or being the worst scene from this episode. I just wanted to point out that so far both episodes were okay, not something awful and not something great, but people keep complaining because they don't know anything about animation, they just follow the hate trend.

Moist Critical also posted a video about this season and in the comment section people were talking about how this is THE worst adaptation, like Yakusoku no Nevetland S2 didn't exist.

Sorry but you would definitely see the friction causing movement in one’s body, and the body would accelerate at G. He is completely static and falls at a constant speed.

You can call this “okay” animation all you want but what is the line of “bad” animation? I can’t think of anything worse besides improper positioning (including size, scaling, orientation, etc) and other complete animation failures. Again, animation is one of the last things I watch an Anime for, but this feels like a fan made or knock off production animation wise.

Oh my god...

That was even worse than I could have ever imagined. And I was ambivalent going into this season because I didn't totally hate season 2. Hell, I gave it a 7. I even gave the season 2 specials a freaking 9.

The opening scene with the protesters where they just panned across very low detail still images while the VAs shouted their lines. Garou's interaction with the drunk holding the knife. His slide down the hill. Just the character art in general was looking really weird in this episode. I was not impressed with the detail. THIS SHIT IS NOT EVEN SEASON 2 LEVEL. It's worse than season 2. It makes season 2 feel like it was season 1.

This episode was huge disappointment

they had this animation from trailer , but they didn't show on this episode
@RoyalDemon05 Probably, they have to save this precious frames for Episode 3.

Well after Episode 1 gave my quite a bad first impression, i was interested for episode 2. And hey hey, they are actually doing QUITE worse than the second Season. And here i thought so many years could make a difference. Or did they start animating it last year?

Either way, this thing is a disgrace. And another argument for me to stop watching Anime.

We always get those random garbage Isekai with 9/10 animation, but nobody wants to see this old reused recipe. And when a hyped Manga finally gets an adaption, it becomes seven deadly frames, two frame man or this .. what ever happend to this one King Isekai.

@Rajektus
To be fair at this point this has even less animation than manga.
Manga just like books stimulates the brain to imagine the missing content, you essentially fill the gaps between the pages in your brain.
Anime on the contrary is a passive medium and you just get what you see, so at this level you get even less.
Also the manga panel are way more detailed and evocative.

To everybody saying we should talk about the episode, what do you want to talk, how can you enjoy the anime like this?
It's not just the animation that is horrible but they are dragging even the content, the whole episode could have lasted 7 minutes top, instead we get people talking and moving in slow motion.
Even if you wanted to talk about it, it is so dragged that very little happen.
At least blue lock had shitty animation but I could still enjoy it because it was fast paced, here we get the worst of the worst, super slow pace and zero animation.

Ain't nobody talks about Garou's motivation, how funny comedic scenes, and how well executed the build up towards the fight. This discussion or MAL tards are so cooked. Focused on a 2 second clip of bad animation rather than being objective and/or subjective over the entire run of the episode with actually a lot of movements compared to episode 1.

Good thing you're here to talk about the peak comedy scene that was Saitama dining and then dashing instead of whining about what others are talking about... Wait, whoops.

Anyway most of us (probably) have already read the manga. What exactly in terms of character development occurred in this episode or the last? Everything to do with Garou was already established last season. There hasn't been any change in him yet. And there won't be for a while. We're just beginning this arc. Literally episode 2. You are behaving as if there was anything but the animation to talk about in here. There wasn't.

FreedomFighter28 said:

At the start and at the end of the sliding. But Garou was already sliding when the scene started and he was still sliding when it ended.

During a sliding, we are talking about a relatively consistent force on your body, so you would be able to keep your balance without moving.

FreedomFighter28 said:

Not necessarily, it depends on the friction. You could accelerate, move with a constant speed and decelerate. Technically it is possible to have an object that moves with a constant speed on a slope.

When you would actually need to move a character, but you don't do it. At least if we are talking about animation as "movements". In most cases I prefer if we include everything into the definition of animation, e.g. compositing etc.
I mean, if we consider taking advantage of situations, angles when you don't need to move the character or you can "cheat", then every anime has bad animation, because the reason why they don't constantly rotating around an object or character, because it would take a lot of tme to animate it, so they "cheat".

@poemofdevil Since you got my attention, yeah the comedy is on point.

Even if I already read the manga or not I still appreciate his characterization here. You missed my point. It isn't about character changes or development it's about recontextualization of his motivation like how Tareo completely saw thru it.

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.

Another disappointing episode, but at least it was a little bit better than episode 1, but that ain't saying much since episode 1 was pretty damn bad.

This crappy OPM season can't hold a candle to the awesome MHA current season, which has had 3 amazing episodes so far, and what we are getting with OPM is mid as fuck.

Disappointing, how the mighty have fallen. OPM is dead and will never reach the greatness of S1.
