Although a lot are disappointed - evident by the contrast in scores between season 1 and 2, I've also heard quite a few say that peoples expectations were just too high and it's pretty good.

So what are your opinions on the season so far, and where do you think it'll go from here? Will we see a downgrade in animation as a the series goes on as with a lot of other shows due to the rushed production? I'll probably keep watching although the animation definitely doesn't live up to season 1 standards because the plot itself is pretty interesting so far.

It let me know that most just watch it for the pretty colors aka animation and not for its story or characters, and only care for the studio not the staff within them.

Please learn about cel animation and its technical process.
Learn how special effects and backlighting were done without computers.

I expect the quality to get worse with the next episodes. It was confirmed they had only completed 2 episodes this Feb and they've been supposedly working on it for months. I'm already worried for the future of OPM and the aftermath it'll have on fans

To be honest, the only thing that's changed for me is the drop in animation quality. The soundtrack still kicks major ass, we've got a really good villain, along with some other major characters, and it's kind of turned away from the more slice-of-life storytelling in the first season.

It will be good because the story is better than S1. The new characters are interesting as well. Peeps are just blinded by hate because they're sakuga dicksuckers.

honestly I see a lot of people saying this and I just don’t get it. It doesn’t need to be that good. OPM s1 is arguably one of the best animated animes. Obviously the studio who picks up season 2 won’t have as good animation. But like holly fuck, season 2 can’t even pass for a okay in animation. It’s just bad. Like compare it to other battle series OPM s2 doesn’t even hold a candle.

Animation quality has clearly gone down substantially compared to S1. Its disappointing but I'm still feeling good about it since the story is so good. I think people need to give the story a chance to develop a bit before judging too hard.

Art and animation overall have definitely taken a hit but it isn't that big of a concern and it still looks good enough to keep the viewers engaged. However, this was just the first episode and a lot of people predict that the animation will go downhill as the series progress. We will just have to wait and watch

My opinion is that it is ugly , and not a little bit

The colors burns your eyes and giving me a headache. The character don't even look like humans ,backgrounds problems and more

Its a fucking joke compare to season one

But hey its early and im going to give a chance to redeem it self ,but this is the biggest problem right now ,and my first impression of season 2

Basically all seasons after season one were doomed to be worse simply because the source material gets worse. At least in the manga, the author enters a very long period of world building where he basically ignores the protagonist. People liked Saitama, why shift the focus off of him? So it really doesn't matter which studio develops this or what director picks this up because they were doomed from the start.

I expect One Punch Man to follow the same route as Overlord where people will still watch it but the awe and love they had of the first season will never be replicated.

that's not a really good thing to do though. MHA, Mob Psycho, and AOT are able to have their sequels be on par or even greater than their first. OPM 2 though is already going through rough shit rn to the point where the next episodes might actually lead it to not being as well received as the first

Given how it's been confirmed that they've only got 2 episodes completed by this late Feb 2019, it's more than likely gonna have a significant decrease in quality. Story idk. Let's just hope Bones gets it for season 3, given how most of the staff from the first season came from Bones in the first place

they had 9 episodes completed from what I've heard. You can't make episodes looking like season 1 in such a short amount of time. The way JC Staff is handling seems to be poorly managed

Even if the staff is different, that doesn't give them a good excuse for making the season look worse compared to the first. You guys say not to blame JC Staff, but it's because of their schedule and them overworking their staff that OPM 2 is looking like crap so far and is bound to get worse in the future episodes. I'm hoping that's not the case, but I've seen anime have this problem and turn out bad

I get what you're trying to do, but that doesn't really help the situation though cuz if JC knew this is how we got over the bad changes, then they're gonna keep doing it with their other adaptations. I'm just hoping Bones gets it, since they did great with ONE's Mob Psycho

there's also this

https://twitter.com/YonkouProd/status/1098955885957640198?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw%7Ctwcamp%5Etweetembed%7Ctwterm%5E1098955885957640198&ref_url=https%3A%2F%2Fcomicbook.com%2Fanime%2F2019%2F03%2F04%2Fone-punch-man-season-2-anime-concern-fans%2F

Someone also pointed out how a similar schedule like this could ruin the workers working on it: https://twitter.com/SmurfRockRune/status/1098964035557572608

Now I will admit that there are seasons of anime that air like this with only a few episodes completed before it airs and some are considered to be normal, but there's a big problem for OPM in its current state

You also have to take into account how many of JC Staff's workers had to work on Index 3 and DAL 3, both of which aired at the same time and weren't that well received. Not only that, but they've taken on too many projects at once and all the staff are overworked. If JC Staff was doing OPM and only OPM for this year, then they might've been fine.

They also didn't show any other major fight scenes for the future episodes and only mainly still frames and fights from episode 1, compared to the PV's for S1 which had multiple glimpses of fights and other scenes from episode 1 to 5 and 6. This is already making people fear that they're trying to hide the fight scenes until the day it airs either because they're not done with it or if it looks bad

Look, we'll see what happens with the future episodes and I'm really praying they're at least decent, but from what I've seen with their current work I'm worried

That table is super wrong. Why would they record dubbing of ONE episode per week. They do it in bulk, multiple episodes before actual animation.

Yeah Ik that. AOT I heard though does have a tough schedule, but because they aren't working on anything else during that time they are able to focus and put all their attention onto it to make it look the best it can be and not struggle as much. Bones knows its own limits and hell, even pushed back MHA to Oct instead of this April to focus on Mob Psycho and not have a downgrade in quality, which the majority of fans understood and praised them for doing.

JC Staff is at fault here, and I'm tired of people trying to say it isn't. They were the ones who decided to pick up so many other projects at the same time and because of that, everything is suffering. And I'm expecting OPM to suffer more as the season goes on, but I really hope it's not full on bad

It all depends on what you were looking for. Were you hoping for a permanent slice of life comedy? Then yes, OPM will never be that again. But if you're looking for an action series that changes the question from "Will the hero be strong enough to win?" to "What will happen before and after the invincible hero wins?"

Personally, I thought Season 1 was dumb fun. Read the crappy webcomic, and blew Season 1's story out of the water. So yeah, Season 2 > Season 1.

Hopefully Yonkouproductions and others who claim only two episodes were done before the trailer were just fearmongering like the claims of Season 2 2020. Because if JC Staff can maintain this quality for the entire season, then it'll be great due to it's story. But if their schedule is as bad as rumored, then the end of Season 2 could be pretty cringy if the animation is actually so bad it's actually hard to watch. Even the story won't be able to save it, it'd be sad by correct: "No point in watching, go read the manga."

multiple people that were able to contact JC supposedly said this, these people being famous anime youtubers. I wouldn't be surprised if this was true, given how majority of their staff had to work on DAL 3 and Index 3 ahead of OPM. Still, take it with a grain of salt for now, we'll see if the future episodes end up being bad and if this was true.

We have a right to complain about the animation. It's a legitimate criticism.
