| IIRC the last time I actually enjoyed a work from J.C staff was back in 2015 (Danmachi S1) not saying I enjoyed the 1st ep of this, the color palette just ruins even the fine cuts for me. |
  |
| hahahaha J.C Staff |
| Decent start. It's nice seeing Saitama again. The OP is nice. |
 |
| Man.. this was not as bad as I thought it would be. The show clearly hasn't lost its charm when it comes to its comedy and characters. I couldn't stop grinning with King's scenes. All the more grinning when the guitar sad version of the first opening played. One of my favorite OSTs from season 1. Action had atleast a few cuts that looked decent to good. Sure most of the episode was stills and panning, but I think if you can accept that this will be nowhere near as good as season 1 from the production side, you can definitely enjoy this. The thing that bothered me the most was definitely Genos his arms. I know drawing it in 2D like in season 1 takes more time and effort but that is just such a bad decision for a corner cut.. Give me more of the stills instead of ruining Genos his character.. One thing that I also noticed is the unfortunate change in sound design. The action sound effects sound pretty meh, even bad sometimes. I hate distorted loud explosion sound effects. I cannot fathom why this is a thing in some animes. I just hope that they can somehow make the good fights look half decent listen I'm not expecting Saitama vs Boros 2.0 but just give me something. |
| The animations during the fight scenes were terrible. It is barely watchable. |
| damn, it's even more hilarious hearing King talk than reading the manga, can't wait for the next episodes and i guess now i know why everyone is bashing this show, it's even worse than the PV i mean the animations have no problem but the coloring is what makes it bad, even the opening animation on the end credits does look bad now that i see it, i only have problems with the coloring, everything else is good, i'm hype to see Fubuki for next week, the whole volume 8 in one episode, damn, they really are amazing but it's just the coloring but i like the show nonetheless and i'm grateful it got a season 2 |
phantomfandom said: it will not be better than season 1 man, the animation of season 2 looks like it has the budget of a bad romcom where the biggest action scene is the final episode.First episode is not explode, the OP song is not catchy as the first season. But since Mob season 2 is better than the first season (despite being less popular), I still expect OPM season 2 to be better than the first season too. In ONE we trust. |
| Visuals were mostly ok. If the rumors about the bad production schedule are true I can only hope they will at least be able to keep up this quality. The OP did not do anything for me, pretty dissapointing. |
| We waited four years, we finally got season 2, it finally started airing, we finally got to the first Saitama fight, AND THEY FUCKING SKIPPED IT?!?!?!?! Nope, fuck this shit I'm out |
| Wasnt as bad as i expected it to be but still one of the things that made Season 1 so good was the Animation and it just isnt as great as Madhouse so it wont get Top 3 this Season,at least from the looks of the first episode Again a anime ruined by the anime industry 6-7/10 episode Mob is the better work from One and has the better anime change my mind |
 |
| If this was what they did for the first episode, the episode where you try to impress, clear doubts and pull people in, then... Uh.. Yeah. I'm still worried for what's to come, knowing there's way, way more demanding stuff than this laser fight coming. However it wasn't too bad really, compared to NORMAL not-OPM-Season-1 anime. What's troubling me more is the directing. So many weird cuts and transitions, for example that very first King scene/confrontation, it went from that Pervy tongue guy to the Robot monster (bad with names, sorry) really... weirdly. There was no real sense of the distance or time that passed, or really the change of location. Same with Genos and Saitama. It feels like they can't afford the animation work to show us even the basic locations a bit more and them moving about (this showed especially in that Genos fight, no tracking movement across any reasonable distance whatsoever, a big part of season 1's glorious animation work).. It comes off too obviously/abruptly as corner-cutting and it shouldn't. This whole episode just flowed weirdly. My prediction is that the directing and overall management is what will be a let down the most here, not the animation. To me the staff for this just seem way too inexperienced to handle such demanding material well enough to please and meet the expectation. Something like this really needs experience to handle. Season 1 had that experience on board, season 2 doesn't seem to. Anyway, imo it'll be how they handle the next episode that really determines the fan reception for this. This episode was easy comparatively. |

| For all the worries that people had about had terrible the animation was supposedly going to be in the hands of JC Staff... that was totally fine really |
  |
Way better than the trailer, but still nowhere near good... |
 pls rember that wen u feel scare or frigten never forget ttimes wen u feeled happy wen day is dark alway rember happy day |
| OPM doesn't deserve this... unacceptable trash is what was showed in this episode. Only the comedy was able to save this atrocity. Time to read the manga |
| poop |
| I'm not a big OPM fan so I missed all the fan misgivings and trepidation about this. As a casual coming into the second season, I can honestly say that while its clearly a notch or two below the visuals and animation of the first season, it's not really that bad. The question is if the level is going to be consistent. Normally first episodes are better than what follows. Let's see if this studio can keep it up. |

| Honestly, I wan't expecting this, not as bad as the pool seems to tell it. I haven't read the manga so I had no info at all about the story after last season. There is a sure thing everyone can agree, it's way inferior than s1 first episode in every manner, but still, I don't find the utility of re-introducing Saitama while those who watch S2 surely have watched S1 as well and know who's Saitama, Genos etc J.C Staff actually pulled off a complete bait (I mean for me it was) the second trailer was only clips from the first episode while I thought it was about the whole season. And even, they changed some bit of animation in the actual broadcasting, making me realize the teaser was probably more of technical demo than an actual trailer. It started off weirdly but really turned back to tolerable and then funny and bad-ass as OPM truly is. I wasn't expecting King's true personality at all and it was really funny, watching him as a lonely otaku who plays loli visual novel is typical of ONE's writing, incredible comedic ton shifts. The main problem of this ep would be its title "Hero's come back" because Saitama is barely doing and saying anything, it's more centered around King and Genos, then a teasing for which foes are coming next. At least, visual is not as bad as everyone were saying it would be, Genos against this robot was not that well choreographed but the animation was consistent and kinda explosive per moment, unfortunately there are a LOOOOOOT of unmoving and panoramic shots and it's a sin for something like OPM. Art was great tho, especially closed-ups facial amusing expressions and colors/effects are also good. Not BONES level but good. Seiyus are once again delivering an almost perfect job and they stick to their characters even 4 years later. (I love so damn much Fubuki's voice ) Music is down right garbage not gonna lie, no themes, nothing memorable, and OP is ... what the shit ? It gives me weird vibes of something not completed, either visually or musically except for the last 15 seconds. It is indeed disappointing but still great, Mob Psycho 2 ERASES OPM2 TO OBLIVION IN TERMS OF QUALITY for sure. But I liked it and I expect it to improve in quality especially for the plot which seems more important than S1. |

| Not bad. Better than what people said without even watching it lol. The colouring reminds me of Prison School. (Baka at drawing, don't judge me) |
  |
| guess we're getting another slideshow instead of an animation, happens with most of the good manga series, it's whatever |
 |
| this should've be animated by Bones, look at Mob Psycho , a goodly animation from crap :/ |
| Honestly speaking, the first episode looks much better than PV2. |

Yourmom53 said: thepath said: There is no point in reading colorless, motionless and mute drawing (manga) when the anime exist. The colors are garbage and the manga convey motion better than the anime NO thanks. I'm not someone who concentrate on small details when I watch anime or read the manga Watching anime with voice acting and ost is so much more entertaining than looking at lifeless drawing with no voices and motion. |
| It was actually good aside from darkish tone art,obviously its no madhouse quality but this works, I'm hyped for more tbh |
 |
| My 1st and maybe last comment on forum but i just had to. The downgrade is real in every aspect (for real I don't see any positves); even the freakin sound quality (Genos fight). 3,5 years apart between Madhouse version and this... and it looks everything but fresh. It just shouldn't have happened in that form. One Big F Let Down Man |
| OPM is finally back! The comedy and plot is pretty much in the same vein as season 1 although art and animation is a step down but not as bad as I was anticipating based on the PV. Hoping that I have as much fun with this season as I did the last! |
| dayum it was better than I expected |
 |
| Yikes that animation. Especially the OP looks jank as fuck. It is not as bad as I would have expected, but it is still really underwhelming. Pretty okay episode overall but the animation is just ugh |

BDs only correct drawings and background art (aka art style - a term made by fans) i never heard or seen a BD that improves the animation too You better take a look at Berserk 2016-2017's BDs, some differences were like day and night. https://i.redd.it/piytt0serhsx.gif While most don't improve the overall quality, they do revamp several sakuga sequences and straight insert new and more consistent sequences in the place of the TV version (which is the case in here as well, some scenes look really fine, although barely animated at times). JC Staff almost always provide some BD fixes even for works they barely have time to improve upon in a tight schedule (see ToAru 3 bluray and its 50 fixed scenes per episode). |

kaneki_spaghetti said: this clearly below decent f*ckyou J.C staff. well I just hope they will not do the season 3 lets just hope any competent studio or even Bones takes it. |
| Good start of the season| I am glad to see Saitama and Genos back! King's backstory was pretty funny! And i think the aniamtion is not that bad! |
 |
| Oh well that was garbage like I expected it to be. |
  |
| I could complain about this or that but I'm just happy to have the second season. |
| So far the sakuga is not as bad as everyone thought it would be, but it's also nowhere near the height of the first season. The storyboarding for action scene is particularly flawed. |

| The show is watchable so I'm watching it :3 |
