This review will contain Spoilers for the show Whenever I read Manga I say to myself wow I cant wait for this to get animated but with Season 2 of OPM I told myself wow I cant wait to see this in the manga so I can actually enjoy it. SPOILER AHEAD STORY: This season of OPM focuses on our first major Villain Garo he is a hero hunter. From a young age Garo rooted for the monsters because they fought their very best until the end cool stuff I suppose. But because of this he got mocked and bullied leading him to became his selfproclaimed monster. He then goes on a rampage hunting SClass heroes. Soon enough the monster association shows up and causes chaos in the world. Sadly Saitama the MAIN character of the series doesnt get that much screen time. He is often seen playing games with King who is just a civilian or in the stupid ass tournament. Thats about it for the story it really just boils down to these points. Yeah its great that ONE creator of OPM is trying to get a story going but my dude add more good stuff. The whole thing felt a bit cliche even for a parody in my opinion the parody aspect does not excuse poor story writing. 420https://m.mediaamazon.com/images/M/MV5BNTQ4MDY3MzktNDg5My00NDU1LThkMjctYmJlMTY3ZjA1NDAyXkEyXkFqcGdeQXVyNjc3OTE4Nzk.V1.jpg CHARACTERS: We get a LOT of new characters I forgot solid 80 of them. I already talked about the main ones in my previous review plus you should know the main ones already if you watched S1. Garou He is the villain as I said many times. He rarely gives up and doesnt want to join the monster clan. He had a tragic backstory which led him to his current self. He is so determined on winning that no one can defeat him. King We already seen King in the previous season but we only get to know the real him now. He is a normal person with no abilities. The King Engine is just his heart beating super fast all the monsters killed around him in the cases were actually Saitama. He loves Gaming Anime Manga and stuff like that. Then the rest of the characters introduced were one off monsters or just some small fry heroes. 420https://66.media.tumblr.com/61a3fa02ae794654debeebd219340bb2/tumblrinlineprptz3i0rO1t8e3ci1280.gif ART/ANIMATION: Oh boy where do I even start with this one? The animation was atrocious. Horrible. 99 of the fight scenes were just blurs of 23 frames repeating. On each punch the impact of it would be cut and then we see the enemy fly away no satisfaction from these scenes. The CGI didnt help either everything metal was CGI with the same texture. How fucking horrible is that? Its like in the OPM universe only one type of metal exists. No matter if it was Steel Iron platinum or anything else it had the same texture and polish. There were alot of frames which also differed from the others the most notable one was when Fubukis necklace kept chaning shape. Oh and they also decided to add gradients to the faces of the characters which felt really odd. The mask below is good example of how bad the CG was. 420https://thumbs.gfycat.com/UnhealthySingleJumpingbeanmax1mb.gif MUSIC: The OP is catchy I have no issue with it. It fits the monsters very well. The general OST in figts was also good though was often overpowered by the generic bullet sounds which played on every attack. 420https://66.media.tumblr.com/db9251ad361e1362e97cb6f60f5e3cf1/tumblrppphxiBh8q1u7gyjmo3500.gif OVERALL OPINION: I read a bit ahead in the manga from Season 1 and was excited to see some of the scenes animated but my goodness. There are some parts Like Saitama helping Suiryu which will probably look better in the Manga. I am so god damn disappointed in this.
