They sacrificed a few souls here and there for this anime, and tbh it's worth it.

That's a scene where Saitama is dreaming about having a decent fight, right? He's actually working up a sweat against trash mobs, which is not possible in his real life.

The real question is if they can keep this quality up. Since the first episode is done so early I'm feeling good about that, that they've given enough budget and time to properly make this.

I'm so loving happy.

Side note: There better never be any real explanation for how or why Saitama is as strong as he is.

I also don't mean the explanation saying that he did 100 push ups and 100 sit ups and blah blah.

I'm talking about stuff along the lines of DBZ finally explaining that Goku/Vegeta kept getting stronger and stronger because a Sayin gets a power boost whenever they are defeated and live (or are revived). Or that they're descended from legendary people, etc.

I want Saitama to remain completely baffling to everyone with his power.

You gotta wonder how much it cost to make a quality episode. I'm betting it's a lot cheaper than we'd think, given the fact that their industry is notorious for paying their artists pennies to the dollar compared to the average western animator's salary.

I'm sure it's still expensive as hell, just not $TEXAS expensive. For comparison, the average Looney Tunes cartoon, running at a mere 2 minutes 30 seconds, cost $600,000 back in Warner Bros' heyday (that's not factoring in inflation, those were the prices back in the 50's).

The bloodspray was pretty Madhouse, but yeah, I was thinking the movement looked a lot like what Gainax did for Gurren Lagann.

The majority of that fight scene was animated by Yoshimichi Kameda, who is massively inspired by both Kanada-style animation and Imaishi's take on it. Relatively very young animator who started doing inbetweens around the time of Gurren Lagann. He'll be a main animator on the series based on the footage in the PV. There's a ton of footage in episode 1 that looks like the style of younger animators, unfortunately they didn't show the ED so its impossible to check the credits but it really looks like they went and grabbed as many people as they could.

The guy directing OPM is the Space Dandy director (Watanabe was "Chief Director") and is buddies with a lot of the people who worked on it.

Like Ak Gara said there doesn't need to be any official explanation because it's already in line with what we know of OPM's universe. It's just the recurring theme of thoughtforms/egregores/willpower manifesting into reality that Japanese authors love to use. Saitama believes his 100 push ups made him insanely strong, therefore he is insanely strong. FFX and FFXIV have the same plot for example.

I do think some of the more savvy characters like Fubuki are eventually gonna figure it out though.

I don't think it will ever be explained as that in-universe (and it drat well better not be), but it does make a great thematic tie-in to Tank Top Master's words about how Heroes and Monsters usually fight. Really sets Saitama and Garou up as mirrors of each other.

the anime doesn't even have the part with the older brother getting trapped under the rubble and asking the little brother to help him out

i mean, the fact they skip out on important character interactions like that shows this anime is trash

Oh yeah. I didn't mean that as "it's probably this" as an in-universe explanation. Just in a "that's just what the writer's rules are" for the story.

So are we going to have a third thread for the anime watchers now, where all the Murata readers get to make sly allusions to future plot points and try to convince everyone within to read his version because "It's basically the storyboard for the anime" and "The anime uses most of the same framing"?

It should just be ONE thread imo. Just everyone that talks about the redraw uses spoiler tags, and everyone that talks about the original uses even more spoiler tags. It'd work out fiiiiiiine.

Give it all the threads just so there's less whining about how faithfully they adapt and reproduce the series and characters between multiple threads.

I like the ONE version for the humor, style, and characters. I like the Murata version for the titssick art, eventual redraws, and Fubukifun filler. Let there be less in-fighting and arguments about differences between version. I just want more Saitama.
