Pretty much where I'm at. I mostly like OPM for the comedy, and the animation is decent enough for me to enjoy with friends even if it's still a shame it won't live up to Murata's artwork like the first season.
Not only good animation from bad animation, also everything else. I really wish I could've enjoyed this episode without noticing the pacing, directing, editing and everything else.
Well, yeah that too (I criticized the first episode for this stuff). My cousin asked me if I watched the premiere last week and I told him it was terrible on all counts. He told me he'd heard the opposite from his friends. He hasn't seen it.
Nope. I like the less solid lines for the art, and the way things look in motion doesn't seem cheap at all to me. Things like the afterimage stuff and saitama holding back the giant bird have what feels like a grander quality to them, more grounding in the environment. I typically AM a person who notices things like bad cinematography, but i dont really have any issues with what im seeing here. Its definitely a different style than the previous season, but i wouldn't call it bad
No, you're right. It was straight hype. In general I think the animation is a bit wonky, but that fight was legit.
Saitama always comes out on top, it's the interactions that make it fun. And he never kills people/monsters he likes
If they have to pull out this many stops at the second episode to achieve something ranging from bad to perfunctory, uh oh indeed.
Indeed.
For the real good animes, story and animation goes hand in hand for me and many others. All time classics like Akira, GitS, Bebop and others would maybe not be the the classics they are if they all had "animations" like this.
Kind of unfair comparisons since Akira and GitS are movies, and I'd argue that both those movies would still hold up even with bad animation since the best part about them was the story, also a lot of older beloved anime do have animation that would be considered bad by today's standards
