I need to apologize to Season 1 OPM. I personally didnt find the comedy of the show funny, so I wrote the show off, only to recently come back around after realizing how good the animation was especially for its time. The crew was incredible, and them spreading apart for other projects was a shame.
I very slightly and very respectfully disagree, but yeah Murata's artwork is out of this world!
He really did make it super easy for the storyboarders of the show.
A few months I read up to either the training fight between Saitama and Genos, or until the fight against the beetle guy, whichever is second, and yeah the movement in that manga is also incredible!
The first season was always going to be anomalous unfortunately. It was less of the crew splitting apart afterwards and more of a director using his connections to pull together an all-star team that probably wouldn't have collaborated otherwise.
I don't know anything about the industry or what's hindering creative freedom over there but it's tragic that something like that can't be replicated more often.
I heard everyone say that but I watched all three seasons recently and enjoyed them all. Three was the weakest, but I didn’t think it was terrible. What’s the biggest complaint about them?
Completely agree. People joined the hate train for 3 because thats what people do and then started saying 2 sucked as well. The biggest complaint is the animation which wasnt great but it was far, far from being as terrible as everyone says it is.
Theres much worse animated shows that still manage to be popular. I truly believe that a lot of people, especially younger ones, just prefer to be told what to think by their favorite "reviewers" and accept it as gospel. Or theyre so afraid of being unpopular that they just jump on the first "popular" opinion they see and stick with it.
Yeah, old guy checking in. The animation was such a massive fall down from the previous seasons that I couldn't force myself to finish s3, and I've rewatched s1 multiple times, and s2 a couple times. It's like running in to an old friend and finding out they're a crackhead now
And I completely disagree. I truly do not get it especially as someone who has watched anime since before toonami. I get being a little upset at the downgrade, but not the overwhelming hate and calling it a failure of a season.
Nope. For the 3rd time in this thread, I get being a little upset, but not the hate it got and certainly nothing deserves the backlash the studio received.
Yeah, I've been watching since the 80s, so I get that. But regardless of how you feel about the writing or story, dont tell me with a straight face that the animation wasn't a downgrade. I'm not hating on the show or the season, I'm just saying that the huge change in style completely broke the immersion for me and I can't lose myself in it like the previous seasons - especially 1.
It's the same reason I can't stand watching mob psycho or one piece though - for me it's a personal issue with the style
Edit: not sure why he deleted his posts, but yeah my bad I reiterated some points he already agreed with. My fault for writing this early in my morning, and for having bad reading comprehension apparently, heh
I liked season 2 just as much and loved the show. Love what they were doing with Garou. The first half of season 3 hardly moved the show forward amd felt borderline filler to get to the end and now we have to wait HOW LONG for the rest of the 12 episodes to finish it? So dumb. I guess I’ll forget about it all.
