Although the first season's animation is better, it's not as bad as everyone is saying it is.

I don't see what's so bad. The only things that I think that look a bit off is Genos and his doctor. However overall I don't really see a major difference. It's not as bad as people say it is and doesn't help that season 1 was made with so much effort it would be hard to replicate that. Does anyone know why JC is doing s2 because I have no clue.

It's unquestionably a massive drop in quality, but it's more "mediocre" than "awful."

i agree with you, honestly the few scenes we have seen from the pvs look pretty much the same to me

we will see when its out i guess

but i think people are overexaggerating, i mean if they want to see bad animation they should look at Dragon Ball Super

Or they should see Tokyo Ghoul:re (anime) that is honestly the worst animation I've seen in my life. DBS has nothin' on this.

I get that its dropped severely, but honestly its way too early to judge it like this..
At least save your views for the first episode.
Also, its not a a sakuga-gasm like season 1, but honestly its not that bad imo.

Just let everyone to see these:

Keep in mind that those scenes was from J.C's post-2017 to early-2019 anime.











I may sounds like a hater but that's because J.C wanted me to hate them for their bad production schedule. I mean....... the f**k was they thinking when they working on more than 10 anime series this year??? Of course the quality will be downgrade with the staffs being overworked themselves.

Edit: Oh and I forgot to mention that J.C even brought some of OPM2 staffs to working on the other anime as well, due to they don't have enough times to finish an anime episode before the deadline, which is why they only finished 2 episodes of OPM2 as of now if the rumor is true.

If they didn't put some fillers on it, the story will mostly fine and it brings some interesting stuffs on the third arc (Which is the longest arc in this series so far) of OPM2.

other bad shows should not be excuse for doing bad shows this way quality will only drop.
i liked kingdom (almost entire show is cgi). If show is not as popular and have small budget i can understand it but quality drop is gigantic and story alone (it is great ) willl have hard time uplifting it.
Mob 100 might be more popular than opm in near future

I think it would have been best to let Bones take it instead of JC Staff. Even if it required delay, I feel like Bones could have pulled it off infinitely better (look at Mob Psycho).

Bones can’t animate every action show. You are just going to over work animators and then people will complain that “ my hero academia doesn’t have enough budget”!!! Waaa!

That's why I said even if it requires delay dingus. To prevent the studio from taking on too many projects and overworking animators... What you are going on about?

too much misinformation again about anime studios

the gathered talent (good animation staff) and enough time (good production schedule) are the main factors on how animation quality improves, and for the record most animators in the anime industry are free lancers and there is actual shortage of good animators right now (google "japan animator shortage crisis" for more info) so not all new anime shows will look amazing and also production schedule on JC staff is tight that they do not have enough time to animate things properly or in good quality

Your either legit trolling or don't know what animation is. Most of Season 2 is just still frames with the "camera" panning from side to side to mimic movement. There's a lot of cutting corners this season. It's undeniable.

It's a severe drop from the awesome quality S1 has, but I've definitely seen worse. So at the moment, pretty meh quality with some flashy visual fx.

However, what really grinds my gear is the fact that it's very clear that JC Staff is not giving S2 of OPM enough effort AND enough budget. Which is why we got this horrible in comparison season. Also, I'm pretty sure someone pointed it out that they're currently animating 10+ anime, even with dozens of animators working long hours day by day, there will be an impact in the quality.

I was disappointed, to say the least. JC Staff would've done it better if only they put in more effort and budget. This is not what I waite for but on the bright side. We got S2 of OPM!

At the time of having watched episode 2: This show is so much below average animation wise that it's not even funny anymore. Actions scenes are literally 90% still images and even those look bad. I can't even comprehend how they fucked up the shading and coloring this badly. Why does Saitama have random orange spots on his skin that look like out of a low budget hentai? Considering the staff remained mostly the same in terms of Key Animator and Art Director it baffles me and strikes me as J.C.Staff just wanting to cash in on the name since it makes no sense whatsoever to animate a show that focuses so heavily on action if you lack in time, money and/or personnel.
For me personally animation was the one thing that carried the first season to a decent score since everything else fell pretty flat but brushing this off as "It's not so bad" is just lowering your own standards which deserve to be higher considering how amazingly animated for example Mob Psycho last season was. Unless this gets magically better by a lot I can understand how this might be the biggest dissapointment for people who were hyped for a second season.

My jumbled thoughts are thus:

1. J.C. Staff take on massive workloads, so it is no wonder the animation quality suffered.
2. It is a miracle we even got a second season as well. OPM S1 didn't do too well in Japan.
3. The animation isn't awful, just extremely inconsistent.
4. Many consider this to be the worst story arc of OPM, so better animation will not necessarily "save this season".

Per #2, I am happy we are even getting a second season. As long as it isn't Konosuba S2 levels of animation I am happy.

As I said, OPM is relying on the international consumers to survive as an anime. If you want better quality and a third season, please support the official releases and purchase the S1 blurays if you haven't already. If you don't want to do that, please purchase a few volumes of the manga.

I honestly think people got ahead of themselves slamming this season's animation before it even came out.

It's not as good as season 1 sure but it's completely watchable, I'm really hype for this season and it's looked great so far IMO.

It TRIES at some points but it's so, so hard to ignore how still-heavy the episodes are and the poor direction and really bad framing of some shots. Not to mention they literally sabotage themselves with the shitty ghosting they have to apply to meet by the channel's standards, it feels like they're just stomping on the work their employees are actually putting in which is about 20 or so actual seconds of proper animation per episode so far it seems. What a mess.

I think it did well enough in Japan and imo considering the viral level of international success we were always gonna get a second season, in fact I'm sure they'll keep going as long as there's source material to animate.

i see this claim made here in the forums a lot just wow where do you people get this info from?

OPM manga is easily on the top 15-20 of manga sales per year there in japan
like this news says https://twitter.com/YonkouProd/status/1001916741734182917
OPM season 1 anime sold an average of 10,000 disc sales and that is considered a hit anime already

The animation is good and it keeps getting better with every episode. But they really need to improve their color shading, especially on Genos or any metallic objects and characters (metal knight, drive knight, etc).

It just makes me sad honestly. Especially after Mob Psycho 100 II. What a shame. It's at best mediocre on its own, but compared to season one, it's just depressing. It's not awful on its own, but it's awful compared to its pedigree.

The animation is horrible, the way its shot and bring up the BEST moments are just very bad.
I wish they recast the Se.1 Director & Animation team for future seasons.

It's definitely not as bad as some are saying but there is a notable difference. They use more panning shots and shaking to simulate dynamic animation. There are some moments where the characters are kind of off model, and a lot of the metal, especially on Genos, uses this weird CG shading that really looks off to me.

Although it is unfortunate that we probably won't see any beautiful, adrenaline-pumping animation like the Boros fight, I don't really think it's fair to compare the animation though because season 1 was done by one of the best studios in the business (at least in my experience. It also depends on the individual staff so quality varies with any studio.), so I've been trying to just enjoy it for what it is. I have certainly seen much, much worse.

Absolutely, the fight scenes are not animated, bits of blurring around a static character with moving lips is a complete let down after the perfection that was season 1.

I haven’t been this disappointed in anything since Star Wars the Last Jedi and before that Dragonlance animated.

The art work is not terrible but it's not the same and i'm literally so disappointed as what i loved about one punch man was how the fights scene made me super excited.

I've read the manga so I know the story will be great however I feel it's shame the artwork had to be sacrificed.

If you ask about the animation honestly it's not bad, not as good as the first season but not bad either, if there's something better it's the coloring, the main problem with s2 is that it's so poorly directed

Agreed but at the same time, disagreed. Wat i agreed is that yeah, animation is terrible. It’s made by the overworked studios. Wat i disagree is that opm is still enjoyable. They adapted the manga better than i thought.
