Including the OP and ED, as well as any frames where the image didn't really move or have any action/static background shots, there are usually ~35,126 frames in an episode.

Considering you can duplicate frames for things where lip flaps are going without the background moving, you'd imagine there's still a good 15,000 frames of those are going to have to be drawn for the episode and that's a total spitballing guess. It could be much more.

Everything that's been "Animated better in the manga" has involved stuff like sweeping camera angles which I imagine would be a complete goddamn pain to actually animate, so it's completely understandable.

Edit: Also yeah, Murata had 2 weeks to do that one sequence whereas the anime has one week to cover about 4 times the material.

Camera Motion and especially rotation is a massive time sink in 2D Animation. The background is a pretty big aspect of any scene and if you have to redraw it for every single frame even at usual Anime 2's or 3's that starts to add up really quick. Even with the usual trick of action cutting the background out it is still really difficult.

Yeah that's almost certainly what's going on here. I'd much rather they skimp a bit on the Meteor episode if it means they'll put that effort into the Sea King episodes.

People are just moaning because the meteor was done so well in the manga, like holy poo poo that was what got me reading in the first place, so it's a bit disappointing that the anime can't even hope to compare, not when skimping on the parts the manga pseudo-animated already.

The Sea King arc should be much more easily translatable from manga to anime.

Nah, it only started doing that when the meteor shrapnel started blowing the city apart.

The reason I complained about that in particular is, yeah I get it panning shots and stuff are difficult and such but that is an example of something that's really not and they just... don't do it for some reason. Like the anime is still great and all, and these kinds of minor nitpicks that don't matter are the harshest criticism I can levy against it. It does some stuff great, like the art style shifts with Asura Rhino and such were super cool.

Maybe I'm just crazy too, but I always imagined that Genos was firing blue laser beams rather than huge flame jets for some reason.

Rewatch the episode, Saitama makes a giant crater on the rooftop as he's jumping off of it.

There were some really good ones in Jojo, like where people had teeny tiny pin heads, or just like awkardly laid-out scenes. Davidpro did some really good clean-ups in their blurays.

Yeah, it's not often they'll straight up add or improve animation but it's common that they'll improve art when it's noticeably off model and poor looking.

I'm glad they aren't trying to match the flipbook sequences. Gives them something different to point to for why they're worth seeing alongside the manga. Only shame is that's pretty much all the meteor arc had going for it since it wasn't a sentient threat.

I agree with this. There are limitations with the animation mostly regarding time so at the very least the anime will get people to read the manga(s). Therefore there will be more OPM in people's lives and for the better.

People complaining about the quality of the anime versus the manga is starting to get on my nerves. Let's not forget how many goddamn times Murata drew a piece of a chapter that encapsulated a few seconds, only to redraw those exact few seconds weeks later for higher detail, and then later redraw them again in lower quality so it's something an actual magazine could feasibly publish.

Murata isn't too good for anime, he's too good for manga.

The difference between the meteor frags raining down and saitama jumping is about a second.

I just checked the manga version of the episode, scene matches up pretty much perfectly, and it is a meteor hitting the damaged building that drops it so I was wrong there,

and saitama doesn't smash it down a couple of levels in the manga but it does have a better shot of the pavement all around the building cracking.

Shark tamer ridiculous
Just to be clear, and I think this is the common sentiment, this anime is amazing. It's what modern anime that doesn't cheap out and employ cheap lazy techniques (Dragonball Super) should look like. I am 100% satisfied with the adaptation, it literally can't be any better. What I am longing for along with others is a piece of high art that just isn't possible technically or financially in the present, where every frame looks like it's been lifted from the manga.

The manga is a godly work by a god among men and it's alright if the anime can't match up to it.
