I ♥ Two Syaorans from Tsubasa RESERVoir CHRoNiCLE and TRC!!! |
| JC Staff... I was not expecting this. Also not sure how I feel about Chikara Sakurai as director. His resume doesn't look very impressive to me. |

| >J.C Staff *Sarcasm Intensifies* |

 "Think about that glowing dust That destroys the night sky's dream of Just being nothing"--  -- |
| So in the end Madhouse still doesn't want to make second seasons... |
| O.M.G Nice One Madhouse |
 |
| I warned people in the announcement thread about being too fast with their assumptions that it will be the exact same studio and staff line up but the "Madhouse does Season 2s" meme had already drowned everything else. On the bright side technically the studio change doesn't matter much as Madhouse was more like a working place than anything else. This would stand true if the director change didn't happen. Shingo Natsume was the sole reason why Season 1 turned out the way it did. He has a vast amount of connection throughout the industry and he gathered a star lineup of freelancing animators from all across the industry. With him as such an influential figure gone is the actual drastic change here. This is what people should be concerned about. |
| RIP MADHOUSE (I hope they will do overlord s2 in 1st half of 2018.or I will think they are really dead) RIP ONE PUNCH MAN(J.C Staff go do grand blue.not this) |
 Best Shitty Reviews “Like is like a blank canvas you paint it with whatever you want (colors,blood,sweat,shit etc)” Current Season rec : Layton Mystery Tanteisha: Katri no Nazotoki File I am an anime OST Maniac and they play a huge role in my rating for a anime. interested ? click the GIF>>>>> |
| Well that's surprising. But I still have my hopes up. *Insert Madhouse meme* |
 |
| Losing the director is a much bigger blow here. The new director is more known for his work on Naruto so I'm curious how different the second season will be in comparison. |
| The staff OPM gets now is more than enough, as it was mentioned many times before, japan need to focus their people on more important projects not this. |
 |
| I think it's too early for April Fools... |
 |
| Well this was an unexpected change. Hopefully they don't fuck up season 2. |
| People on MAL refuse to actually enjoy watching anime. Your taste in anime isn't a personality trait. |
| Uhh I mean... JC Staff is a good studio too but.. why? lol |
  |
| You have done fucked up. |
 |
| Lmao Madhouse troll the fans again |

Just an assumption but the producers probably wanted s2 to happen quick but the staff and studio working on the show are busy with other projects. Same thing happened with Mahouka where Madhouse got dropped. |
| ^Do NOT reply to the bait above me I'm done with Japan, trolling people. Lol |
| Oh look, finally some updates about the 2nd season of OPM. And it's another studio with an unknown director. |
 |
| J.C. Staff? That was unexpected. MadHouse trolled everyone. xD |
 |
| I'm not even mad at this point xD |
 |
| Lmao at the trolling. Madhouse never change, keep your curse strong (at the very least they are still doing a season 2 to CCS on Winter) xD. I can already smell how salty some fanboys of said studio will be and ofc the potential hate that J.C.Staff will get when this airs. Anyway, not a fan of the show, but I hope that J.C. Staff still does a somewhat decent job with it. Taking out the action parts it is not too hard to screw it either way. |
 |
| Wtf, JC Staff? Madhouse said they were working on it this whole time, what a disappointment. It's probably not going to be anywhere near as good. And with that, some more hope for anime has been lost... What's next? Only 12 episodes for Steins;Gate 0? |
| This has gotta be a joke. I like J.C Staff, but I don't like the prospect of a drastic studio change. |
 |
VanishingKira said: >JC Staff >no name director >probably filler tournament arc instead of Garou All reasons to skip this second season J.C Staff is a good studio though. |
|
| I mean I can understand some of the disappointment already. Let's face it, OPM was a unique show mainly for it's fluidly animated fight scenes. Madhouse had so many freelance workers on OPM that after all this time, it's impossible to get everyone back on board. People just need to understand that. That said, I am quite disappointed with this but I will be hopeful that while J.C Staff most certainly won't elevate the fights as high as Madhouse did, that I'll still be enjoying the season and what it covers. I mean, even then J.C Staff could surprise us and actually make the fights greater than what we expect from them. Regardless, here's hoping for the best. |
 |
VanishingKira said: hit and miss I don't trust director anyways and well the first one punch man was never good to begin with imo Yeah, I'd say the director is more of a worry than the studio. Even though it still sucks Madhouse jumped ship on this one. |
|
| Having a good judgement on J.C Staff is Key they really are hit or miss mainly depending on on the type of show and even then they put out some solid looking scenes in some of the more average shows ,i still think about LB season 1 VS 2 in the overall quality boost. but even liking J.C i can't support such a big change when they had something good going shit i ant even that crazy on OP but i respected the love and passion that bones and them put into making it look great it's gonna be hard to top that but here's hoping. |
 |
| Time to commit sudoku |
 |
| Seriously? That's simply GREAT... |
"At some point, I stopped hoping." |
| Lmao, that's simply brilliant. |
One Piece episode 914 & 915 & 1027 were a mistake and 957 brought the salvation - FMmatron |
| At least hope it has the some of the same animation staff. |
| Why is JC Staff animating this instead of Prison School season 2? |
    |
| Well, i'll wait until PV. If first trailer of first season already set some bar, i'm expecting the same with a second season. But not have high expectations. Studio is not very important, but first season had such a impact thanks to all people, who working on OPM (especially, animators). And i'll doubt, that second season will have a same treatment. |
 |
| Yeah, time to go back to Murata's manga then |
| 5 main aspects I base my ratings on: 1. Did DramaEnthusiast make a thread about it? 2. Is it better than Breaking Bad? 3. Did MellowJello recommend the shit out of it? 4. Has it caused a (very entertaining) shitstorm on MAL? 5. Is it actually good? Scratch the fifth point, it's not very relevant... |
| Madhouse is not a big loss, they don't do much these days and season one was mostly freelance work. The director change could be a big blow. |
| Let's see what J.C. Staff got. Predict it will be just fine. |
| MAL has no influence on Japanese Anime/Otaku industry so Self-righteous Elitist people here are really wasting their time on writing 'Critical Reviews'. |
| another season with different studio? EPIC FAIL i guess. . . |
| > Sees that the studio isn't Madhouse > Sees that the director isn't Natsume Shingo > Slowly starts dying inside. I mean, JC Staff's a good studio and all, but they're not a good match for OPM. I doubt they'll have the same key animators, which is a shame. |
 |
| Well okay the studio change n shit is weird but what about the release date?! Im actually even more curious now bout how they'll handle all this. |
| Chill guys.... You all know Madhouse never makes a 2nd season to the series they made. Sooooooooooooooooooooooooo giving to JC the 2nd season they can still uphold their "Company Policy". BUT!! BUT!!!!! NEVER!! NEVER I SAY THAT MADHOUSE REFUSE TO MAKE A 3RD SEASON TO A SERIES!! NEVER!!!!!!! So lets fcking pray that the 2nd season will be quick and painless!! Coz the 3rd will surely be Madhouse <3 |
| >JC Staff OPM 2 is gonna be the best RomCom of the season |
