Imagine if OPM season 1 was animated like the recent Berserk. Do you think it would've been as hype as it was?

I never bothered to actually watch the PV until now. (I didn't even know they changed studios.) And holy god, yeah. It looked like crap. What were they thinking? Why would you go from Madhouse to a studio whose last really well animated show was what? The original Railgun?

What was the (official) reason for the change of studios anyways?

Esentially, the staff and studio that worked on it had other projects that they are working on but the production committee wanted to have season 2 out as soon as possible so they found someone else that willing to work on those conditions. By not having the director of season 1, they lost his contacts of freelancers he had too as they also moved onto other projects.

This seems like a really bad sequence of decisions yeah. Couldn't they have waited?

It's a similar situation to Attack on Titan. They waited until a few years between seasons and by then the popularity had fizzled out. It's already been 3 years since the first season of OPM and I don't think they can wait any longer.

If you consider the alternative then yes, they could.

I knew Serizawa was too naive to just get tossed around like the other jerks in Claw, but it still felt good to see Mob help him through his doubts and insecurities after so many episodes of him climbing out of that kind of funk. Shame Toichiro couldn't take his advice and now has to get his rump kicked by an angry middle schooler, though I know it won't be as straightforward as that.

Spiritus Nox

Also I like that, after Mob got to face Mogami as kind of an anti-mob, Toichiro is pretty clearly a sort of anti-Reigen. Though this does make me wish that his and Reigen's confrontation had been more decisive.

This episode lasted forever in the moment but it was over too soon. Absolutely AOTY. This is a loving feel good anime, its like the exact opposite feels of Madoka or Re: Zero

Reigen being completely out of his depth but still making his way up to face the boss because he actually views himself as the adult responsible for Mob is so pure.

One of the only dudes in Shonen history to go "actually middle school kids shouldn't have to fight adults" and then actually follow through. Reigan's pretty good. Underpays his employee but surprisingly responsible for a fraud the World's Greatest Psychic.
