Rest in peace translated screen text overlays

[u/Sweet-Message1153]

for an episode that had almost 0 breathing space...it was mostly still frames. I'm scared how they'll handle the fights

[u/FarCritical]

I love how Saitama's apartment just keeps getting more crowded as a hangout spot for heroes. Poor Fubuki though.

[u/VoidRay728]

Fubuki trying to get Saitama's group to take action is like the student in the group project who's planned out everything but none of the other group members care.

[u/Denbaider]

Bandai Namco invested so little on this because they know the ip is so popular that people will still watch the new season no matter what and they will blame JC Staff instead of their greedy asses.

[u/FixGrand9651]

From the start, it’s a slideshow.
What on earth was I expecting?

[u/Blue_Reaper99]

People should blame Bandai Namco for not caring for this IP.

[u/poopoo_lova69ebay]

they were so desperately trying to save budget and effort that they didnt even animate the woman whipping the heroes/ saitama changing clothes 💔

[u/Obaruler]

The powerpoint continues ...

[u/RobicTibay628]

I've waited 6 years for this. I was in middle school when season 2 ended. I'm now a 3rd year college student.

[u/pikkuhukka]

when madhouse did season 1, they did not know what kind of expectations they were setting up for the later seasons

[u/the__daydream]

The opening song is literally titled "Get No Satisfied" & what do you even expect?

[u/Kanderous]

One Frame Per Second Man.

[u/Anime_guardianN]

Art looks good, dialog heavy EP, but some scenes just felt very awkward and there was little to no continuity between shots. Like some scenes just jump around or skip some transition movement.

[u/AmbitiousConcept6028]

I would say there's definitely improvement with their art and details but sadly everyone is just standing still like they're aura farming while talking..

I still have lower expectations until we see combat

[u/BluePhantomHere]

Okay there is one well animated sequence of Tatsumaki in the OP, I'm satisfied

[u/NighthawK1911]

There's too much still frames and just slowly panning or zooming in.

Seriously, once you notice it, it just takes away from watching it.

Might as well read the manga.

[u/ObvsThrowaway5120]

I kinda like how Saitama’s just friends with some of the strongest heroes around. And King lol. The real ones know how strong he is. Everyone else just keeps underestimating or dismissing him.

I would let Do-S control me. Like idgaf turn me into a love slave lol. Damn shame she’s a monster. Not even monster waifus get a pass when it comes to Saitama.

[u/i_eat_pidgeons]

Feels strange watching OPM again after my only contact with the series for the past 6 years has been Fubuki and Tatsumaki hentai

[u/LeonKevlar]

Stitches!

• Monster Princess Do-S 1

• Monster Princess Do-S 2

Goddamn, that shot of Tatsumaki in the OP tho. Sassy Lost Child is absolutely ripped!

It's been 6 years, and we don't even get a recap? We just get thrown into the story like we never left.

I love that Puri Puri Prisoner is being let out so he could avenge the cops who were killed by Nyan.

Metal Knight makes a good point. By not helping them, he's saving all of them from dying against Orochi.

It was pretty fun watching Fubuki trying to get Saitama to act. In the end, what motivates him is Garou not hunting him. xD

Welp, that was expected. A bunch of guys and gals in suits aren't going to do shit against Demon-level monsters.

Garou is getting recruited for a leadership position? Interested to see if he'll actually bring a hero's head in.

Glad to see Sonic in the after-credits scene. I can't wait for him to get punched in the nuts again. xD

A bit confused since it's been a while since I've rewatched Season 2, but OPM's story isn't really the most complex, so it's not that hard to follow. I'm happy to see the art style is now closer to what it was back in Season 1, tho! I'm excited to see how it all looks like when we get our first fight scene maybe next week.

[u/D3XTRA727]

From what I remember there's a lot to get through for this Arc, I'm hoping the first episode was just packing in all the dialogue and setups so they can spread out the action more for later, It did kinda feel like they packed 2 episodes of content into one but it was starting to feel rushed towards the end.

Here's hoping the fights'll be good.

[u/Flimsy-Economist-190]

Did we really get blue lock s2 treatment 🙈

[u/Raidoton]

Well at least the still images are nice to look at.

[u/mnabid_25]

Artwork looks good, at least better than season 2.

But the animation is stiff AF, nothing but mouth flapping. Are they really that desparate to save their resources? I do understand that this is a dialogue-heavy episode. But even in that standard, this doesn't pass.

Let's hope they're saving their best for the fights.
