STRONGEST One-Punch Man Discussion Thread!

Why would they? For the same reason lackluster studios have been butchering popular manga and novel series over the year. Because no matter what they put out, those big IPs are guaranteed to make them butt loads of money.

I really want this to be good. I really do. But this is not a studio that has proved they have what it takes to fluently adapt such an intense and heavily detailed action manga.

Just a few months ago they were working on the second season of Smartphone Isekai... A show where I felt like I could visually count the number of frames in every scene. They've been factory releasing multiple bland fantasy animes for years and years, all with the same consistent, mediocre level of quality.

They also have a history of ruining other shows. Like Index S3 or Date a Live S3, which were both considered terrible adaptations due to their pacing and animation quality.

I just don't see the dream here. JC Staff is not an high-production action studio.

Even when they were given a movie budget to work on the Konosuba Movie, the product they released was only a bit above average in the industry. Like, it looked good, for a fantasy comedy, but it really isn't anything compared to what's needed for the scenes in OPM.

Not as much as they would make off of a good product. Not to mention the community backlash.

I mean. People forget that Season 2 has a lot of good stuff in its own right. The main issues lie within their time constraints and budget as many have mentioned. Some of the fights in Season 2 are very high-quality. Not Season 1 level of course but extremely solid in their own right. If they can produce that quality for the entire season, as well as fix up the sound design a bit and not animate Genos so weirdly, we can have a very good season on our hands. I'm worried about the CGI for some of the larger characters like Orochi but we'll see how it goes. I just pray he's not purple.

WTF JC ANIMATED THAT DOG SHIT? LOL. Well I wouldn't use that as a basis for how OPM Season 3 would look anyways. It's not the same. It's like when a restaurant makes food for a regular dude vs. making food for Gordon Ramsay. It just ain't the same. JC Staff has a far from amazing record I agree. But just cause they haven't produced many good things doesn't mean they can't. What I'm saying is to just wait and see. Not like talking about it will change what happens anyways tbh.
 
Frankly I'm still surprised they refuse to give OPM to a better studio. It was literally one of the most popular anime of the 2010's and remains a top-dog in the manga industry yet they give it to a mid-tier studio and let it rot like this? It's a damn shame and whoever runs this is an idiot frankly speaking. If Season 3 was Season 1 tier animation and art, it would probably break the industry and set new records.
 
I'm hoping they prioritize their time and budget on certain factors if they can't make it all good. Like the Darkshine Vs. Garou fight. I'd rather have low-lows and high-highs than just an overall mid-tier anime.

But if the majority of the season looks like the trailer I'll be more than satisfied.
 
S3 Trailer looks promising.
The background and compositing looks good. The animation is decent. The still frames are great compared to Season 2.
Now I'm certain that CG monsters gonna be good on JC staff's hand.
 
I didn't see OPM 2 because the metal texture made me vomit, but isn't a trailer this good? It's a trailer, something made to draw people's attention to the material, the minimum is that it's something well done.

JC is not a Mappa or Madhouse (in her golden age, not nowadays) in life, there will be good animation and sakugas throughout the anime, but I think the anime she does is enough. Not exactly bad but not great, a 6, fulfill your purpose satisfactorily. At least in my experience watching her animes.

At least she's not a Studio Deen that outsourced NNT and turned everything into garbage.

Or Graphinica, a studio that made Shuumatsu no Walküre, an anime that focuses on being more static than its manga (I can't believe this studio worked on Hellsing Ultimate, but the years really change studios)

Alright, let me be the one to put this popular reddit post out here before anyone else does taking it as truth: these booru comments are as objective as our comments here in vsbw, meaning literally anyone could have commented this as a troll, and since it's an anonymous person saying they privately confirmed it there is absolutely no way to verify it.

But basically some guy on booru is saying the trailer was done completely by Aoki and will not be used in S3 as it's a fake pre-animation to generate false hype, a concern that some of us have voiced and may or may not be true. Personally, I think this particular claim is fake. Remember the studio Bones and Mappa "leaks"?

Yeah, fool me once... don't trust this rando

Also, If they do that they will have damaged their own image(jc staff). I hope they aren't stupid enough to do that.

It does look like a pre-animated scene, given we don't hear the actual dialogue or music in the scene and because of how cinematic it is, but it would be dumb to trust random people on reddit or an image board.

I think it's actually supposed to be like that (minus some cinematic changes for the trailer) since the whole sequence plays out without battle sfx as Genus explains the limiter in the manga

Less a matter of that and what light we are capable of perceiving. All vision is based on light. If there was no light we'd effectively be blind. But if you mean range of perception, like reading something from afar or whatnot, the best recorded eyesight's iirc is stuff like perceiving and differentiating multiple people from a whole mile away. I'm lucky to have 20/20 vision. I can easily recognize people from hundreds of feet away.
 
Going by the index the volume ends at chapter 151 "The Greatest Obstacle" with King about to face off with the Cadres

The bonus chapter will apparently be about King according to Google Lens "Extra edition [King's style] 194 [The biggest wall]"
 
Garou will be the second MC and no one will stop him (I think he already is)
