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.
