Mordaedil posted:It's funny how little people understand why these decisions are made. I can say the same thing about the 737 Max but like this anime, the final product is still flaming wreckage. Nanigans posted:Whatever your feelings on this season, blame the production company, not the actual artists. I hope everyone knows it's not their fault. It's almost always the managements fault. Season 2 looks exactly like you would expect if they were told to redraw everything in between each episode release and they only hired half the number of animators needed to do it in the first place. It's unfortunate and I don't think anyone blames the artists who are probably being literally flogged to produce content faster at this point so that the producer can get a bonus. Still not as bad as that Berserk wiggle walk someone posted earlier. That genuinely made me laugh.

Andrigaar posted:It could just be that they didn't have time to do it correctly and just copied the timing and poses from another scene they had on hand (or found on Youtube/etc). The reuse that "machine gun hands" effect diret rip like 3-4 times in that episode. You can tell that they are seriously time constrained and or cutting budget wherever they can.

Well, the animation has gotten better in the last 2 episodes. It's high point is still well below season 1's low point but it's on par with decent anime average. I'm a bit disappointed that the Suiryu fight wasn't smoother but not surprised. loving sucks about Murata's Dad. Hope the guy gets all the time he needs.

The worst part is probably that they cut the whole sequence of "strong vs a hero" where Mumen Rider puts his life on the line to slow the hospital monsters down to contrast with Suiryu's might makes right screed. It's kind of important in what's probably the next episode and I think it's gonna fall flat. Hace posted:you are insane Well, the bar was set extremely low by an almost total lack of animation at all earlier. At least fewer of the shots are still frames sliding across the screen on flash vectors, excepting Saitama floating up to the ring/wall.

I would just like to remind everyone that Orochi served the story purpose of being a giant that explodes into laser spewing Chinese dragons which then do Kung-fu with their tiny T-Rex arms and that he is going to look absolutely terrible when animated as a stiff CG blob moving at 3 frames per second with whoosh panels penciled over as kung-fu effects.

Sorry Genos; you tried, but Flashy Flash and Saitama are the comedy OTP. So Saitama has 4 ninja speedsters who want to kill him because he "saw through their attacks". I hope that eventually he has like 20 or 30 that just follow him around as a mob and constantly get stuck in doors and stuff.

It's just, there's always a few of them in every community on the internet, no matter where OPM is being discussed, who seem like they're just waiting for a pin to drop and the chance to discuss major webcomic spoilers when people are talking about stuff in the manga, generally not only unasked for, but even when people have asked them not to.

I change my previous answer, the most supportive character in OPM is that snake lady's bra. Bleach will always hold a special place in my heart because it turned out that the main character's powers actually came from Hitler, so it was in fact, a swastika sword.

Lord_Magmar posted:The thing that sets Naruto apart in these discussions is that straight up, the only truly atrocious stuff is all in the Fourth Ninja War. Just about every other part of the story is somewhat salvageable if not great as a stand-alone part. Even Madara is an appropriately built up and meaningful villain. Also I take umbrage with the Sasuke is abusive stuff, because he flat out has no desire for a relationship with any of these people and is actively trying to get them to leave him alone, he sees them as enemies not friends or romantic partners; this doesn’t make it okay, but he absolutely would be stoked if Naruto and Sakura just let him go away and live his life (Karin is a different discussion and is yes, super gross on every level for it). There was troublesome stuff in Naruto even early (the authors treatment of women for instance) on but it tends to get ignored because the overall quality was high and the central themes were good. Unfortunately the quality of writing in Naruto followed a consistent accelerating downward curve with the inflection point being somewhere around the time skip. By the last arc, it was just a screaming elevator to hell so it gets brought up a lot. Someone earlier mentioned that OPM doesn't attempt to have conflict but rather spectacle. That's sort of true, but the there is plenty of conflict in OPM, it just isn't conflict through pure violence. A lot of the story revolves around Saitama overcoming ennui, License-less Rider overcoming his powerless in the face of adversity, etc. The violence is just a set piece for the actual conflict which is of a personal or interpersonal nature. It's good writing. It's also a great spectacle which is a cherry on top but it stands fine even when the spectacle is murdered like the animation in Season 2.

FooF posted:I watched with the "Boros is actually the protagonist" lens and, wow, that really holds up. If I knew nothing about the series and watched that fight in a vacuum, the way Boros describes himself and how he's always holding back would make me think he's the "One Punch" Man. Granted, I would be confused as to why he's fighting this bald, nondescript caped guy that can keep up with him. (And is the bald guy the villain? He doesn't seem villainous...) The music and heroic cues all go to Boros. Its obvious by the time Meteoric Burst shows up that Saitama outclasses him in every way but Saitama's surprise at Boros' speed at that point, and the kick to the moon, makes you doubt a little bit. Given how Saitama reacted to all the other villain attacks, he probably would have told him to pay for the property damage and then let him go. I can't think of any examples off the top of my head where Saitama kills anything that isn't actively attacking or destroying something and a few times he even is upset that he accidentally killed them (typically before they could pay for property damage). I also liked that Saitama's super move is just him putting in effort. Like at that point, Saitama basically says, OK Boros, I'll give you the fight you're asking for and throws a real punch for the first time in the series. It's even animated like a real punch with him throwing his weight into it while the others were fairly cartoony. It kind of highlights that Saitama's super move series is just him putting in some effort and he could probably throw "Serious Punches" all day long, but it's got to have a super move name because because Hero's have names for their finishers. Then you get a pan out to the clouds to show just how outclassed Boros was the entire time.

Mystic Mongol posted:Presumably he got that place back when he was fresh out of school and job hunting, and then the rest of the city evacuated due to monsters. It was evacuated during the mosquito attack at the beginning of the series. People were depicted as living there despite the massive monster attacks until then and I think Saitama just doesn't worry too much about the fact that no one is coming by to collect rent. He still has utilities after all.

The fighter jet is hilarious but I agree the pacing has gotten awful. I think they'd be better off keeping the pacing and getting through this arc and then doing some filler stuff to let the web comic get ahead if that was the concern. Orochi would have been far better if he just accepted getting punched.

Eh it doesn't actually seem that different. The cadres are just now reaching the surface. Orochi is (hopefully finally) killed and psychkosis used orochis built in ejection seat. We (thankfully hopefully) aren't immediately introducing a new super monster to fight right now. Saitama and Flash are getting a slow teleport to the surface. The hero's are slowly reverting back to bickering. Telepathy box and Blast showing up are completely new but don't actually directly impact any events between the webcomic and the redraw, just some big foreshadowing. The biggest differences are still the same as they were 2 comics ago which are where all the heroes are currently located. In the webcomic most of them were still underground at this point with just a few fighting on the surface.

Yea, I think the cubes are totally new but seem to be a plot device that connects back to Homeless Emperor's God which isn't new. Getting a peek at Blast's Hobby/motivation is totally new and interesting. Not sure if that's a spoiler or not, too much witting and re-writing has gotten me confused.
