S3 has a bit of Saitama, but S4 he will be there for like 5 minutes top


At least in S5 we will get the longest Saitama fight in the series.

Same in my case, lets hope s3 has both story and saitama.


Sadly, if only 12 episodes, will probably only have 4 major events (maybe 4 episodes total?) where he does anything. But two of those will be two of the biggest reveals in the entire series.

animation for opm matters more than it does for most anime as opm is an action animation but yea ur right the season was just as good as s1 besides the lack of sitama the worse animation that doesn't automatically make the season shit the animation wasn't even that bad just mediocre lmao people hate the season just because the animation wasn't as good as s1 or demon slayer🤣🤣

IMHO the animation in the TV version of OPM S2 was bad with those godawful ghosting effects which pretty much ruined it for me, the animation got better in the BD version though since the godawful ghosting effects was removed there, it wasn't bad, it was decent but it wasn't good enough for me either, it was still a huge downgrade compared to S1 and let's be honest, we will always compare something to the previous season.

Still, OPM S2 has other glaring issues, the animation isn't the only issue here. OPM S2 is not horrible, it's just mediocre and deserves no more than a 7/10 IMHO.

Unfortunately for OPM S2 the 1st season set the standards way too high.

I just saw the S2 and that was exactly what I was going to say. I admit the very last episode of the season is really poor on the animations with all these black shadows & statics scenes but that's all.
Nowadays it's not rare to see really bad cheap CGI animation in animes, some recent movies, series are only made from them. So we kinda tend to focus on the story if we wanna "enjoy" the show.
Chinese animation and other great series for example use it a lot. (Kingdom, Ajin, Kumo-chan...)
So... complaining about OPM when they at least didn't use CGI ? don't really understand.

Everybody is allowed to set their own standards for what makes or breaks a show for them, and for some people animation is paramount. It is rather silly to complain about people dropping a show for poor animation. Animation may not matter to you, but it clearly does to other people. Imagine if I had, say, made a thread titled "Story doesn't even matter" because I personally feel characterization, character design, animation, music, directing, background art, sound design, voice acting, theming, editing, and vibes, are more important than story. How would you feel if you were ridiculed for putting emphasis on story, or whatever else you value in shows?

if animation doesn't matter in anime? why make it? if the only thing that matters is characters, story and plot then just read the manga. at least the art-style there is consistent (i loved season 1 and rewatched it to get back into 2 because i also loved the manga)
it just felt like if they gave one of the best animated action shows to a shoujo studio. the details are in things that don't matter (genos has shiny metal and saitama has a highly shaded head instead of being hard shaded) which doesn't match the action show it is.

I don't really care about the animation though animation in general is really important to have quality over quantity and they did tried their best despite people prefer season 1's animation but nonetheless the fight scenes were good and I like how where the story is directing, overall it's enjoyable, more enjoyable than season 1 to say the least.

Not that I have any quarrel with you, but I have seen shoujo anime with significantly better action than what can be found in this season. In fact, I've seen shoujo anime with action on par with OPM season 1...

I don't really understand it either. I honestly thought that season 2 was way better. Season 1 was kinda boring outside its amazing animation because it was just about 1 thing. s2 actually had long fights, a nice backstory and way more focus on the whole cast

this is just the biggest kneejerk reaction from a huge group of hiveminders ever

because season 1 set a standard and season 2 didn't meet it. if the story, characters and fights are what matters in an anime? then why not read the manga? (at least there the quality is constantly getting better instead of degrading)

The problem of season 2 is how badly and confusing the animation sequences are... then
add that Genos arm are literally a blob grey mess and characters design is way worse

season 2 was bad not just because of the animation but because of the bad direction, art direction, animation direction, storyboarding, compositing, character designs and sound effects. you need to realize that it's just not the animation that made season 1 so much better.

I didn't have a problem with season 2 at all. It was just as enjoyable as season 1. When I saw the studio behind it was J-C staff i knew the animation would be lesser quality but they still did an amazing job. People hating on it are just dumb

Season 2 is fine, I really don't understand the complaints. Storyboarding is inferior?!? Ok, thanks for pointing that out <eyeroll>

I have seen both seasons so many times that I don't care if there's a difference, I just enjoy it without noticing. Static backgrounds? Genos' arms? Confusing animation sequences? Bad this that and the other? I don't see it... I'd have to go rewatch and specifically look for these things... and I still won't care. I've seen a lot of terrible anime and a lot of good anime... and I don't understand giving season 2 grief.

Frankly, everyone has an opinion and the haters are not going to change... so more power to them. They're wrong, but more power to them.
