Sequels rarely live up to their predecessors, but this is a hollow, mangled corpse of the original. Unfunny humor is entirely due to the lame visuals, mediocre sound effects, and awkward directing. Garou is a great villian, and there are entertaining heroes like King and of course Saitama. Extensive dialogue with very little animation is used to fill screen time in place of the abundance of action scenes in season one.Įven though the characters look bad, they’re still very likable. This season has a slower pace with more focus on one major villain rather than a monster-of-the-week story it’s easy to see this as an improvement, but everything is executed much worse than the original. Action scenes are edited poorly, shots jump from one still image to the next rather than animating the character’s movement. When there is motion it is just excessive speed lines and other cheap light effects making it hard to tell what’s even happening. Textures look especially awful it doesn’t have a shiny effect anymore, it just looks pudgy and gray.Īll of the animation is practically a stop motion slide show. Character designs were changed from their clean cool style to jagged and hideous imitations of their former selves. It’s flat, the color pallete is dull, and the shading is messy dog shit. Our expectations were low, but JESUS CHRIST THIS IS GARBAGE. Staff-a studio known for cutting corners in their animation. Unless you have been living under a rock for the last year, it’s known throughout the anime community that Madhouse handed the second season of OPM to J.C.
