Got to see the leaked OP the other day and it's kinda "eh". A lot of still shots, very little animation, weird font choices, but there are some clever cuts, the last leg has some pretty neat animations and the Jam Project track makes it enjoyable. The track is so good it begs for some Madhouse-tier animation like in S1's legendary opening, especially after Bones put out what's easily contender for best OP of the season with Mob Psycho II, but it is what it is.

I suspect the show will still be decent, there's still a lot of good gags that can be unearthed.

I loved OPM Season 1 so much, I'm just so afraid for this new season. Hopefully JC Staff does the source material some justice at least.

Since I do not care THAT much about its looks, I'm just looking forward to watching Season 2 as soon as it gets on Netflix or any other decent Streaming Service.

In regards to the op and minor plot spoilers
Least we get to see Saitama with a wig and that confirms the tournament will be adapted
But yeah that was pretty rough.

I'm really curious where this season will end with the manga being ongoing (not sure if this arc's ended yet)

Where's that "i expected nothing and i'm still disappointed" gif when you need it? Still gonna watch it, but the OP sure is something.

Going by the OP I think it's gonna end with
Saitama killing an ugly as hell CGI Elder Centipede
My only hope is that Season 3 gets passed off to Bones so that they can do it justice. It's a fucking crime that all of the great fights in this season are gonna get shit all over by JC Staff's incompetence.

WAIT WAIT WAIT WAIT. THIS ISN'T GOING TO BE ON NETFLIX?

https://www.whats-on-netflix.com/news/will-one-punch-man-season-2-be-coming-to-netflix/

"We're certain that Season 2 of One Punch Man will arrive on Netflix eventually. The Only issue is the infrequency in which anime seasons arrive on the streaming service, making it harder to speculate. Netflix is still a long way off from receiving the second season of One Punch Man. After the release of One Punch Man Season 1, Netflix didn't receive the title for over 2 years, therefore, we believe the same may happen again for Season 2. "

FFFFFFFFFFFF.

The elder centipede fights will certainly be something....those fights even wore Murata out.

Saw stream of the episode without subs, the animation actually pretty good, they fixed a lot of the things that were wrong in the PV, it's no season 1 but I definitely wouldn't say it's bad ether

This was even worse than I expected. Not only it's ugly and a big downgrade compared to the first season, but it doesn't even have an awesome OP like all One's animes had so far.

The animation was okay, but still a large step down from the 1st season. I dread how they're going to handle some of the later fights this season.

A reminder that production issues will only ramp up for this show as the season goes on, so it's likely all downhill from here given what we know of the production schedule

You know what? I thought that was pretty okay. Yeah, there were a lot of still frames and panning shots, but the animation was better than I expected and I enjoyed the episode for what it was.

Well it's on Crunchyroll in the U.K. so that's good, the poster art they're using however is not...

First episode pretty much looked like I expected after the trailer last month.

It's nice to see Saitama and Genos again, but I hope the production doesn't completely melt halfway through the season.

Love that this is on Hulu... and that I now get Hulu for free because of Spotify Premium. Such a great collab.

Was totally fine and actually pretty decent, the trailer lied and I'm way less worried than I was. Animation is absolutely nowhere near as bad as people are/were making it out to be, in fact I would say some areas are an improvement over S1. With that said the tone overall is less light, the comedy has been dialled back a bit. Less funny, but still fun. It won't please everyone.

(Mob Psycho is better anyway)

Not great, man. It's a shame it had to happen to One Punch Man, but whatcha gonna do. The shading is honestly kinda bad and in general the episode had a really flat look to it. But it's not terrible I guess. I hope the story carries it.

Nah, this season, unlike Berserk, is watchable at least.
