Episode 1 - "Return of the Hero" Available at: hulu Torrent(s) Kissanime |
| This is roughly about what I expected...which is bad but at least I wasn't disappointed. I'm more than able to forgo my memory of season 1 to view this as just another plain old seasonal but it's quite sad that this is what must be done in order to not find this offensive. The amount of panning shots gave me severe PTSD flashbacks to Food Wars season 3. Like y'all have already said, the animation leaves a LOT to be desired, the artstyle is just...off, and the sound design is obnoxious. Aside from the technical aspects, the humor fell completely flat for me as well, which is a shame since the first season had me consistently smiling and lightly chuckling. The characters themselves have also lost their vibrancy as their seiyuus seem far less into their roles compared to last season imo. Overall, it's been completely drained of its charm and is borderline repugnant visually. The audacity of this to even exist after Mob Psycho 100 II is something else I tell ya. I'm really only continuing this for Fubuki, hope that hot piece of ass gets a good amount of screen time. Also, didn't King do some superhero shit in the final battle of season 1 when he lifted up huge ass pieces of concrete and threw them at the alien spaceship? Is that just being retconned or am I buggin'? |

No concrete tossing for him ;p |

| This is probably the last premiere I'm gonna watch for a while and wooo boy is this terrible! Everyone and their mother has torn the terrible visuals to shreds, what with the sheer lack of any real animation throughout a vast majority of the action scenes this episode, all the bad quick cuts with no semblance of flow or any cohesion to the point where the main fight of the episode is genuinely incomprehensible, the CGI, the inconsistent coloration for Genos, etc. etc. Sadly, this dead feeling extends to the writing as well, with tons of monologuing and joke delivery that feels absolutely dry compared to a lot of the exaggerative, punchy delivery of the first season. It's just taking itself seriously and frankly, I never cared when season 1 took itself seriously either and when that show at least banked on its stellar visuals, great music, and surprisingly decent emotional beats, and this first episode has absolutely none of that in any way, shape, or form, you know this premiere fails as a follow-up. It becomes all the more humiliating when you consider how OPM's counterpart, Mob Psycho 100, a manga written by the same author as OPM, got its adaptation's second season to practically push the boundaries of modern TV anime literally the season before this. It's embarrassing. Expect a harsh write-up once this season ends. AndoCommando said: LMFAOOOOOOOOOStudio Pierrot pulling out all the stops with some of their best animation here.
