NEVER FUCKING TAKE A NIGHT OFF CLAN WARS.

The trailer is the one thing in recent memory that I've seen that has everybody trashing it.

It's not great, and it's an incredible disappointment coming from the first season.

Maybe they're saving all their effort for the big fight scenes that come later? That's as optimistic as I can be.

All of the effort is going into all the Fubuki scenes. The anime's gonna like like Kemono Friends season 2 until she's on screen at which point the quality will jump to Redline.

Well that includes the Genos / Sonic fight, I'm cool with that.

How in the heck does the director watch season 1 of One Punch Man then go on to produce what we saw in that trailer? Freaking dreadful. I hope all that was just something they rushed out to show that season 2 existed and not taken from the actual episode.

Most likely either they don't have as much money as season 1, or they are spending the same amount of money on more humane working conditions.

because the new director has none of the connections that season 1s did and was pressed to make a twelve episode series with the staff that he had with suddenly less than a two year deadline. season 1 of opm had a very modest budget, but Shingo Natsume knew talented people who came on to help him

If anything season 1 is the weird abberation

e: budget is so rarely an actual reason for anything and people should stop saying it. It more comes down to production planning and talent involved

It's probably also that they tried to get the same staff as S1, but in this cutthroat world of anime where there's more committees than studios, OPM was low enough in the priority list that things never aligned and the committee decided to look elsewhere in a short amount of time.

Though, the announcement of S2 came September 2016, then it seems like nothing came out until August 2018 with the new director and studio announcement... alongside 0 new footage. Sounds to me like they had solid plans back in 2016 that fell apart in 2017 and took until last year to get things going for what will air next month.

I'm still going to give it a shot and maybe it'll surprise but ho boy, that trailer did not inspire any confidence.

At least Mob's show got a second season that far surpassed the first.

I guess what I'm trying to say is: animators should be paid more and sent home on time.

Fortunately season 1 is really self contained so it didn't end on a huge cliffhanger or something. One Punch Man fighting a galactic threat and having a fun fight is a nice bookend to the story

I would have really wanted to see the Garou stuff animated and done with the same studio though. It has a lot of cool moments

don't get my previous post wrong, I agree that really ought to. but working on anime in Japan is an incredibly notoriously exploitative field, and especially considering the turnover rate of the new season, humane working conditions is the last thing I would point to

right, no, I get what you're saying, it was a confusing way of saying "maybe the first studio was exploiting the animators even harder"

like on its face him talking like all of his powers are part of a magical girl thing and then just using brute force all the time is a solid joke

It's just an excuse to try to make "my only gay character is also a serial rapist" more palatable. Also: rape as a joke is bad.
