This is the correct thread isn't it?

I've been misled, this is the real one punch man season 2, and these people are not highschoolers.

EroKing · 2020-07-06, 14:19

That was crazy good for a start, haven't seen a show with such impact in a while

LKK · 2020-07-06, 15:25

Ep 1 had a surprisingly light-hearted tone to it. This type of show is usually not my type of show. But if future episodes continue to have some of the light-hearted touch that ep 1 had, I may actually make it to the end of the season.

I picked it up because the animation in the trailer looked great, and the episode fully delivered on that front. Everything about it screams "all style, no substance" but that's ok with me since that's pretty much what I expected. If I turn out to be wrong, all the better.

One thing does bother me... why does everyone look like they have a runny nose?

Wandering Soul · 2020-07-06, 19:43

Yeah, that's pretty much what I expected from the episode of this. I dropped the manwha years ago, but I'll still keep watching at least the first arc.

Obelisk ze Tormentor · 2020-07-07, 00:31

This episode is so fuckin' 90s it takes me back when I was watching Street Fighter II V & Virtua Fighter anime series in my younger days.

Btw, are some of the guys working in this show the same Mappa guys from Garo: Vanishing Line? The animation style & movements are very similar (for the non-CG fights):

Well, that's one way to start

Even if nothing else, fights probably can carry this show on it's own.

Liddo-kun · 2020-07-07, 16:24

tried, but not really my cup of tea. Pass on this one.

Spoiler for ep1:

FlareKnight · 2020-07-08, 00:05

Well...that was alright. It wasn't terrible, but I do wonder about some of the choices made for it.

Will at least check out another episode to see how it goes. Just wasn't anything too great or too bad.

Guardian Enzo · 2020-07-08, 01:22

My take on this is "dumb premise executed smartly", and those tend not to have legs. The premiere was really well-done but couldn't totally mask how inane the story seems to be. But this season is such a sucking vacuum of nothingness that I have to give something like this show a longer leash than usual.

Same kinda of. I'm usually ok with brainless battle manga, but I guess I'm not in mood. Its got style & great anination alright, but its lacking the abundant amont of charm on everything else.

Fevvers · 2020-07-08, 05:03

Pretty much a given the level of sakuga in this show. Can’t wait to see in action when they delve deeper into their techniques. It’s been sometime since I read the manhwa, but I remember it did take a while before I got hooked. Once it did though, ooh boy. It doesn’t really subvert shounen tropes, but what it is is fun action manhwa with really good relationship development between the three MCs.

mergele · 2020-07-08, 14:09

"We have no talent and don't care anyway, let's just make ugly garbage cgi movement and hope nobody realizes it or doesn't care if they do."
This is the equivalent of "shakey cam makes super action".

Cloudedmind · 2020-07-09, 00:21

Well, that was fun.

well I certainly didn't realize/didn't care so I'd say that they did a great job with their CGI. Since "garbage CGI" is literally CGi that is badly done enough that you cannot help to notice and that it looks terrible so you care, I'd say that's enough for me to conclude that it wasn't garbage to the slightest

Tenzen12 · 2020-07-09, 05:49

I second this. CGI here certainly wasn't glaring enough to ruin experience in any way. Everything looked nice and organic.

serenade_beta そのおっぱいで13才 Join Date: Dec 2006	Spoiler for ep1: Since this season is as barren as a tundra, I decided to watch ep1, and well, it wasn't good, as I expected. First, spending half the episode on some stupid car chase with the protagonist shrieking like a monkey was definitely not a good decision. Second, why are the characters' nose and ears red? Third, yeah... nanomachines. The animation quality itself wasn't that bad though. Also, I'm pretty sure Tower of God (wait, I see a trend here...) was also some fighting-each-other-for-a-prize-game thing too. __________________ -Blog --> http://tdnshumi.blogspot.com/ (Mainly about video games) -R.I.P.
