    I think the Centipede CGI still stands out to me the most, it's so well done! You're hard pressed to find 3D of that quality in anime releasing now hats off to the J.C Staff and Studio Moe 3D artists.
    Also I wouldn't mind an ongoing series by you for both: "Actually Well Animated" and, "Not That Well Animated" videos. I think it's good for building a brand but nevertheless another banger

      i noticed that too, i was a bit on doubt when i saw it for the first time, that is a very well integrated CGI character, plus, it has really good fps variation, where it would do the 15 fps thing, but did increase it's fps on quick attacks and impact scenes with rich movements, something many implementations of CGI characters lack and ruins the blending in other animation works.

    Even back then when I was on the "OPM S2 is badly animated" train, even then I couldn't deny the quality of those Garou sequences. And thank God you're praising the CGI centipede because I was so impressed by it when I saw it back then and wondered why nobody took notice of how high quality CG like this came from a show with such a bad schedule. Even with my disappointment, I hated the JCStaff slander going around because they made good stuff before, including the incredibly animated Konosuba movie, and they had a terrible schedule. I might not have been an expert, hell I'm not an expert now, but even I knew that people were being ridiculous with the bandwagoning.

    Honestly season 2 was mostly let down by dumb decisions with some of the visuals. Some of the FX/overlays and speed lines looked really bad, the way most of the characters' skin was shaded with an orange gradient looked really weird, and the way they shaded metal looked terrible. However season 2 had so much going for it that people didn't really take note of, like the amazing CGI on some of the monsters, the banging soundtrack, overall tone and pacing and the animation which looked incredible in some scenes.

      Examples off the top of my head:
      Stinger vs Deep Sea Folk (letterally defeated them all with one still frame each).
      Then Stinger was defeated by a still frame from Deep Sea King.
      Saitama's hero test was filled with still frames and basic animation.
      Tatsumaki defeated Ancient King by a fade in to black into a still frame.
      There is a part in the meteor episode where we see a still frame of people trying to evacuate the city with sounds of people screaming and nothing being animated.

    With season 2 I actually had more issues with the sound/audio effects than the animation. It doesn't just look worse than S1, it SOUNDS worse in every way. I think for the past several years most anime coming out are using the exact same ultra-bass-boosted cheapo distorted sound effects that makes all fights sound identical (and I have a $400 subwoofer). So many season 2 fight scenes were let down by over-use of the same sound clip/sample on repeat. Probably another casualty of limited budget and production schedule.

      It’s more really general audiences just lacking the terminology. There’s the general ‘taking a still frame and judging the quality of animation from it’ that happens every now and again.
      I don’t think it’s not knowing the difference between them, it’s just not knowing the different words for everything.

      Of course, in visual media, you can only really look at it, but the food analogy was just a crude example. Big difference between the quality of a drawing vs the animation.
      At the very least, when people say “the animation looks bad” it’s not too hard to know what they mean.
      However, if you know anything about Ben 10, I just kinda find it a bit odd when people say Omniverse had bad animation when it actually has way more movement compared to previous series. What they really meant was the art style is bad, which is a whole different thing.

    Fucking thank you
    It's genuinely saddening how so many people dismiss season 2 as "poorly animated" when it's pretty above average all things considered, and has some mad impressive moments of bombastic action sakuga that is genuinely very well done.
    It's no season 1, obviously, but it's still worth enjoying

    The ghosting screwed over an unholy amount of cuts but even then the schedule was utterly abysmal. Considering the time between season 2's end and the wait for 3's beginning, with production having already started, I'm really REALLY hoping for a good production buffer that'll actually make for a consistent level of decent quality. Can't expect them to strike lightning again like they did for season 1 but I can dream they make it even halfway close.

(they used sounds from the CS M4). Besides that, I liked everything else.

    When I watched this season for the first time, I didn't mind the compositing on the metal too much, but I hated the fact that it's inconsistent when we take the amazing 3D models into notice, the Cocroach monster had this metalic texture fir some reason, but the centepides who are also bugs didn't (and thank God they don't). My biggest problem now is the compositing, and the mediocre colour choices, that just look like every other seasonal anime, I wouldn't mind this taht much, but they showed us how good thay can be with colour choices in episode 3, where the colouring plays perfectly into the scenery and enhances the strong drawings by Aoki qnd Takagi, it's just so nice to look at and it's a shame a lot of anime don't teally take the enwiroment the characters are in into consideration when choosing colours. Studio Mappa shaded and highlighted their cuts in natural light with consideration in AoT season 4, whinch always caught my attention and really enchanced the already great scenes for me.

While I effeminately get a different feel and agree that the quality isn't on par with the first season, it didn't feel bad too me at all and I've been struggling to emphasize with the OPM community on this. I've seen shows animated badly and I wouldn't say that OPM Season 2 quite falls into that category.

    The main issue with OPM season 2 is that its animation is inconsistent, not outright bad. There are plenty of banger sequences that end up getting offset by a number of wtf sequences which end up standing out far more due to them being mixed in with the good stuff.
    If it was more like a weekly series where the episodes with the ok to bad animation were completely separate from the episodes with the good to awesome animation I think people would have complained less. The constant shifting between both extremes in the same episodes I feel is what really pushed people over the edge.
