I really hope not.
Or at least Shingo Natsume returns as director.

The specials of the first season no longer had the action animators but it looked much better than OPM2.

I hate to poison the well but it probably will be.
If you really want to find out look up the budget for season 1 vs 2 and if 2 was cheaper to make I don't see why JC wouldn't do it again.

Season 2 wasn't cheaper, just a far worse schedule and not literally a Natsume dream team. Of course it would look worse.

If something is cheaper to make a company will jump on the train. Anime isn't a passion project anymore like it was in the 80's, it's an industry regardless of who's working on it/schedule. JC / A1 cut corners and don't go over the finished project the majority of the time. If it looks cheap it's because it was cheap to make.

No, you don't understand, Season 1 was literally an average budget, it's high quality had nothing to do with a high budget, the director Shingo Natsume used his connections to call in many very talented freelance animators. Whereas Season 2 was just a whatever staff JC Staff had available at the time.

Oh, but they switched studios to go from an average budget to a low budget, right? Wrong. The original director and team were already busy working on Boogiepop 2019. They literally couldn't make OPM Season 2 in 2019 even if they wanted to. Best case scenario, they could start working on it after Boogiepop, but it still wouldn't have come out til January 2020.

Though yes, JC Staff knew better, that their own studio was overbooked with different productions, and they didn't have the time nor the manpower to make the entirety of OPM Season 2 even close to Season 1's level. They shouldn't have agreed to take the project. But they did.

Are the production committee and JC Staff executives at fault for OPM S2 looking so medicore most of the time? Yes. But it isn't related to budget, but to scheduling and lack of talented animators. Episode 8 and 11, two of the most action full episodes of the season, JC Staff called upon Studio Lan to animate most of the scenes. If they were trying to keep it as cheap as possible, they would have simply done it themselves with even lower quality.

The most rational thing is to think that this specials will be animated by J.C.

there's no reason to believe they wouldn't be produced by JC Staff.

You know it's funny. The internet is currently littered with as many "The animation is not that bad!" as there are "The animation is crap!" comments.

But the people who say the former are obviously in self-denial. One of the biggest reasons people became devoted fans of the OPM series is Studio Madhouse's execution of the 1st season. That and the show is great on characters and is really fun. J.C. Staff then made a mockery of it by cutting corners. They really had a diffucult time putting in any motion into the fight scenes so they cut corners. A Ton!

because of lack of time though they weren't have the decent schedule that madhouse was having on S1 so i can understand that and not be annoyed unlike you and others who just don't care and expected much like fools so the joke is on you!! , i mean in a situation like this that they were having , it was obvious the animation will be lackluster but comparing between those seasons and saying that Season 2 is bad is just unfair since S2's crew were having hard time more than S1's ones but they tried at least and it's not we didn't notice S2's issues but remember there's BD to fix some errors and i didn't expected not cared about being it in the same animation level of S1 since it was impossible to get that result anyways since most of S1's animators were working on other stuff but all i wanted just a decent or good action that it's near to fate's action animation i admit it is below Fate's animation but sometimes it can be near to it

I see. Still sad though that even though OPM was on fire when S1 came they couldn't find any team that could compete with the S1 one and that JC staff were practically punished with that deadline. It feels sad because whoever was in charge of deciding on the production team and schedule rushed things and threw the love put behind these series out the window. I guess that's why I'm feeling a smidge downtroden. Not that it's the worst thing to happen ever.

How did this happen? It's only 6 episodes but the air time will take up to 6 months? Im guessing it would be 1 episode per month.
