The character designer for OPM tweeted that he's seen a bunch of people talking about the anime having a big budget, when in reality it has an average budget, and they just have a lot of passionate animators who want to work on it.

I'm guessing that their scheduling is also pretty good since they had the first episode complete a month in advance?

I'm a little worried at this pace that we won't get to some of the villains by the end of the season. This episode, it felt like they could have cut the Sweet Mask stuff and put in the next round with Sonic easily enough.

We are actually at a pretty good pace to get to the latest stopping point in Murata's version by the end. This is the first time they've gone less than 3-4 chapters an episode and we have 14 more chapters to that last stopping point. It'll be fine. We have time to kill.

It's 12 episodes and going at a pretty decent pace to get to the latest stopping point in Murata's version in that time.

This one in particular was an entire chapter.

Well, an entire part. As the series got on, Murata started releasing chapters in parts. The first half of this episode, for instance, was an entire chapter split into 4 releases.

Look at where we are right now, and consider that the Murata version is still adapting Garou. We don't nearly have enough content for another whole cour.

Probably very little. Everything is a race against the clock.

One Punch Man seems to have slightly better scheduling than a lot of shows, though, seeing as they had the first episode broadcast ready a month in advance for the Nico preair. It's another cause of the series being so good, as a lot of animation weirdness in shows isn't due to budget, but just running out of time and going "gently caress it, we'll fix it on the Blu-ray."

I was looking forward to this episode, mainly because I can now post this video here:

A quick summary of everything up to the end of Sea King fight, and why you should go read the manga. I'm kind of surprised that ONE is still having One Punch Man as his hobby instead of his actual main work, but then again it probably wouldn't be as good if it wasn't.

There are a couple flashes here from a bonus chapter that showed that this isn't the first time Saitama and Licenseless Rider have met. Again, more incentive to read the manga, because it's got a lot of little bonus chapters and side stories not part of the official chapter count that probably won't get adapted.

Again, the BD OVAs are supposed to be original stories written by ONE, not extra chapters.

Edit: Well, some of them are written by ONE. It doesn't seem like the ones we know of are extra chapters, unless I forgot one.

Somebody explain anime production and seasons to me. Who exactly produces anime? Do the channels order them from the studios, or do the studios operate independently and offer them to tv channels? Basically, who needs to make money for OPM to get a second season?

Shows in Japan actually buy the time slots from the channel. That's why a lot of shows have advertisements for their own merchandise.

Probably a rights thing, since I don't think Shueisha owns the original webcomic. Plus, anime in general is basically an advertisement, so with this being an advertisement for Shueisha's version, why would they want to compete with themselves by adapting content they haven't put in their version of the manga yet?

Really, an anime-only ending would only happen in a series whose dramatic momentum necessitated its story to be closed, like Soul Eater or FMA. Stuff like One Punch Man is more arc-based, so they can get away with "The Adventure Continues!"
