Season2 is out now.
The art and animation could be better, but even if it's a downgrade from season one I would still say the guys at JC at least tried to put some effort into this thing. I'm just worried what ep4+ will bring.
>>32771 Yeah, I agree. The show already looks good compared to what your average season looks like. Like hell, that Genos fight looked better than the still frame fest in shield hero.
serious sideways jumps and tank top vegetarian lmao
>>32771 JC is doing the keyframe stills some justice, but the direction and animation for the action scenes that tie them together really needs some work. I know I shouldn't expect the same level of effort that was done in S1 with the studio change, but I wasn't expecting it to be half-assed to the extent that was done. And this is before JC's obligatory ep 4 quality drop.
I kept thinking here "He's going to punch her... isn't he? This is JC staff, he's gonna punch her right? This is why JC staff picked up this anime right? He's going to go Touma on her ass right? ...Right?"
I get the impression when watching this that JC is trying to shy away from the action scenes while focusing on anything else they can. I can almost feel the animators struggling to do the best they can during fight scenes. Even at their best it still feels a little bit clunky. This is like watching someone jump into a race they weren't prepared or trained for while struggling just to keep up the pace, They'll run out of stamina before the race is half way over I'm sure.

>>32814 You really have a way with words, you know that?
On the bright side, it looks like JC staff has made improvements since ep 1. a bit surprising to be honest, but certainly not unwelcome.
I've got some real mixed feelings about this scene and what it meant for the show going forward. On the one hand I loved this guy in season 1 and was really worried here. I really didn't want to see anything bad happen to him. But the thing is on the other hand What makes this villain threatening is seeing him dismember and kill heroes when he's introduced. It seemed like he was going to go on some killing spree taking down heros. But then he switches gears and only beats up the characters he fights. Not only does that feel weird and out of character, but it also makes him seem like less of a threat if he's not going to kill anyone(anymore) and releases any tension that might have been there. So now he just doesn't seem like a big deal, and he's supposed to be the main antagonist (for the moment at least)
>>32863 its a nuanced character, he wants to be something he isn't and can't be, so there has to be some kind of middle ground for him.
>>32863 he is an honorable monster.
They missed a golden chance to name him The Guerrilla Solider. Son, I'm disappointed.
>>32905 don't encourage fansubs to do localization attempts on japanese wordplay puns by creating "similar" english ones.
>>32938 I agree with your sentiment, however guerrilla is Spanish rather than English
Up until ep6 I thought Saitama had no weaknesses, but I was wrong. Seems even he can't withstand the power of tacobell.
They are really dragging their asses with the slow pace this episode. A shame, really. There was plenty of opportunity to show the no-name side characters fight vice skipping them entirely last episode, and then they pull this shit dragging out dialogue and stills and keeping everything else halfassed in order to stall the episode painfully. And they aren't ending it on the same note that the manga did, JC staff somehow thinks that they can do a better job directing how the scene plays out. I sincerely doubt they will.
>>32950 Apparently OPM2 ep#9 delayed due to tennis. Oh well, enjoy the fan-art of Saitama vs Gouketsu. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NiVTnN7oOs8
I didn't watch the tennis, but the ep 9 was worth waiting for. I wonder if live sports could be rebroadcasted as rotoscoped anime with only a slight delay, maybe 2D fans would start watching tennis and all that if it wasn't so pig disgusting
This ep was a lot better. It was quite good. Sadly, being so close to the end of a cour at this point in the story makes me worried. There are too many loose ends for things to be wrapped up in two episodes without things being rushed to shit. Sure, there is an OVA coming, but that's 90% going to be fubuki/tastumaki fanservice vice a continuation of the story from ending the cour 2/3 the way through an arc.

>>33015 I'm confused and don't understand how a fighting game works when one of the characters is invincible. That's the whole point of this series.
>>33028 Simple, this is how.
Wow, thats was a really sugoi punch.
>>33054 That it is... only one punch!
>>33028 the latest ova might explain that to you
One Punch Man Season 3 ワンパンマン 3 rumored to be animated by MAPPA!?!
>>37036 I really don't like the weird, yet status-quo preserving direction the manga went for the garou fight. The webcomic handled it much better.
