The production committee doesn't care about the quality of the animation. They care about commercial success (i.e. merch and BDs and etc).

OPM S1 was a passion/contacts project - so if the S2 staff asked for more budget it would just be a question of "Why can't you deliver on that budget, Season 1 did? You clearly lack work ethic"

If OPM S2 is unmemorable in the long run but temporally popular enough for the prod committee members to make their profits then that's "mission accomplished" from their perspective.

Any drive for better animation/art is only going to come from the passion of the artists involved.

Nearly all of the budget goes towards hiring voice actors too. Animators generally don't get money "thrown at it".

Why throw money at something to improve it when you know it's going to sell?

Ah yes, the One Piece solution - "It's most popular shonen in the world and we all know everyone will watch the anime anyways, so here are some yen I found in the couch this morning, that should last you for next 20 episodes."

Surely if you throw enough money at a problem it will resolve itself, so why does it still look like absolute garbage.

They had an earthquake that hosed things up.

Just being a normal 'on the internet' artist is already tough enough with poo poo just shutting down or turning off at random but they had power just cutting off with no warning too.

The animation here is like the last fight in Black Panther, they only had like 6 weeks to do it.

Oh man I've been waiting for Murata's version of that panel since I first read the webcomic and it did not disappoint.

Are Saitama, Tatsumaki, and Black Sperm the only characters so far that get the simplistic art style? BS definitely deserves it though

There's been other shows that have existed which have looked as good or better than OPM season 1.

It's not like season 1 was this miracle show or anything, though it was very very good.

OPM S1 is no Cowboy Bebop and it's not an amazing passion project like Gundam Build Fighters

No OPM S1 happened because of passion and contacts but there's none of that in S2, so it needs more money to get the same quality. Which apparently they aren't willing to ivnest

Why would you invest more money in a project when it's selling like gangbusters on an average budget. Producers are not in the business to make quality products, they make successful products.

EDIT: What Conot said. ^

y'all there are a lot of problems money doesn't fix, like:

- the relatively small pool of skilled animators
- said animators being on a constant ticking clock because anime has a hit a critical mass where too many shows are in production for how many people actually work in the industry
- poorly managed work pipelines leading to delays and episodes getting finished only a few hours before airing (or not at all)

You could back-up a truck load of gold bricks to JC Staff's office and it wouldn't change the reality that they don't have the people and they don't have the time

the industry is deeply, systemically hosed right now in a way that only a full-on collapse is going to fix

Yeah I recall the madhouse staff refuted that they had a higher than normal budget, the director was just talented had a lot of connections to some great animators.

The main problem was that the guy was busy and they didn't want to wait too long before making another season.

He's a giant black sperm, his disaster level is Dragon, and he's one of the few characters sometimes drawn in the ONE style, which is reserved for the most powerful characters in the series. What else do you need
