Is Season 2 really that bad animated in comparison to season 1? I still haven't seen it and all those comments about the "way worse animation" are holding me a bit off of watching it

It’s okay, it’s probably the worst section of the manga too. Compared to season 1 the animation and fight scenes feel amateur

Season 1 had more emphasis on action scenes. But season 2 focused on plot progression and less on action.It was so panel to panel with manga, unlike season 1 which extended fights to make it more dramatic and spine chilling.

In the anime community , things are good and bad, depends how much fucks u give to the people in this community :shrug:

Personally, it’s the cour for me. It’s not bad, just lackluster. Maybe it could end differently if the part 2 was changed to a 24 or 26-episode one.

It is still an above average show that's worth watching but compared to the first season it falls flat on its face

Animation is much worse, sound design plummeting down to newgrounds grade quality and the season only covers like a fifth of the whole arc in the manga, making it feel very awkwardly placed.

That being said you should probably still watch it but please just read the manga either way, it's extremely good.

Not at all. The second season is a lot more focused on plot progression and characters instead of the action-- and while the action scenes that are in it are pretty lacking, they aren't unwatchable by any means. There are a few weird things the team did like the way they drew the metal which looks really off, but otherwise the animation is okay.

Yep the animation had huge downgrade. The fights are not well animated except the last few fights. They skipped few stuff from the manga. For me S2 is a 6/10(S1 is 9/10)

It is not bad the thing is that season 2 art style was not able to surpass season 1 art style, and you know audience always hope for better than previous season but sadly it didn't happen in season 2.

Short answer: no
Long answer: you could see the decrease in animation quality but it isn’t nearly as bad as some people express it to be

It isn't bad. It is a downgrade from season 1 but it still has some clean moments. I think they picked good moments to kick up the animation. Other moments are very meh. But overall I enjoyed the season. The animation didn't damper my experience much.

In all honesty the animation wasn't as good as season 1, BUT with that being said you should definitely still watch it. The arc is fun and entertaining, the faulty animation at points isn't enough to kill the show and in my opinion is overblown. Give it a try then start the One Punch Man manga if you REALLY wanna see some cool stuff.

as a guy who rewatched season 1, read the manga from season 2 onwards, and then rewatched clips of season 2 I can say through comparison that it was disappointing. overall it was just okay in terms of animation. hopefully season 3 can redo the standard of season 1.

I mean the story is still great I enjoyed it, I hadn't seen the bad press around it before hand and remember enjoying it a little less.

I think the comedy is focused on more tho however the fights aren't as legendary.

Still worth a watch it's better than average.

This is what i would say
s2 animation isn't as good as s1 but it's still quite good. i don't think people should exaggerate things.
as for other things, comedy has been toned down a lot.
s2 tends to focus on the side characters more . that's why Saitama doesn't get that much screen time. he was basically giving cameo in his own show.
Even though these are bad things i said.
s2 still had it's moments. I won't spoil you about them but there were definitely some hyped moments.
Not as good as s1 but still a good show to watch.
as the other guy said, at least better than the other mid shows.

Not bad at all seriously, those people just overreact as usual, S1 might have better animation but they react as if S2 had worst animation in the world.

Just watch it, don't listen to those people and form your own opinion.

I liked this season. But if you ask me what it's lacking then I will say that I really missed Saitama in this season. like Our boy Saitama really didn't get much screen time. But other character bild ups were good.



you know man you should really read the manga. Murata's art is really something.

It wasn’t amateur just was rushed because S1 had scenes that wasn’t moving as well but it didn’t had the same circumstances S2 had.

I don't know about the others but I'm quite fond of this like the first season. I rewatched it quite a few times actually.
It's not that I dislike this genre but... to add unnecessary fan services to/in/for heroines
and ultimately destroys her character and personality; their purity tarnished because of it,
is the only thing I hope to not happen to them. For that sole purity is my fan service.

If s1 was in the same quality as S2 it wouldn't be bad, it would be considered pretty average. But since S1 set the bar so high it seems like its bad when it's really not tbh

about me, It just isn't the same, season 1 is practically a meme, season 2 introduces some new sentimental parts, which aren't bad, but just different, if you don't compare that to s1, s2 isn't bad at all

This is exactly how I felt about it. I'm not really new in terms of time but I've watched about 45 anime in 3 years, and all I've watched were somewhat mainstream. So OPM S2 for me was only bad because I was always looking out for that bad part (which I never found for said reasons,) that I forgot to actually enjoy the show fully.

I like s2 a little bit more than s1. I don't understand why people complain about the animation it looks the same to me. It has better villians and a better story. I also liked seeing other characters like metal bat.

Season 2 is good. Non-stop action fighting. You can see many other heroes as well as old ones.
The animation was not bad at all [looks at berserk 3-d]. People caring about animation more than story is sad.
It made me think about the roles of heroes and villains in shows. and villains really are almost always ganged up on.
The only downside of season 2 is with so much action and fighting the season is more serious and has less comedy then season one.
There are still funny things here and there but it feels less.
