The first season of ‘One Punch Man’ revolves around Saitama who can defeat anyone with just one punch, which is self-explanatory from the title itself. If you want to know more about the anime’s future, then you should definitely check out our preview of One Punch Man Season 3. During this span, it aired a total of 12 episodes with each one of them being 23 minutes long. J.C Staff’s ‘One Punch Man’ season 2 premiered on Apand ended on July 3, 2019. I really don’t want to put it this way, but the way things have gone down for ‘OPM’, it seems like a Season 2 was a grave mistake. The first one was more of a juggernaut that exceeded all expectations and set the bar way too high and that’s probably the reason why Season 2 felt so disappointingly flat. It may not be fair to compare the season 1 of an anime with its season 2 but in this case, we just can’t help. Clearly, J.C Staff was not able to handle this project too well despite being known for some great shows like ‘ Toradora‘ and ‘ Zero no Tsukaima‘.Įven the story of this season proves to be no good and for an action-centric anime, many important fight scenes felt rushed and lacked any proper context to them. The animation quality is certainly not terrible but there is a noticeable dip in its quality and most fans can’t help but complain about it. While the most renowned studio, Madhouse, took over the production reins of Season 1, the second season was taken over by J.C Staff. One big reason why ‘One Punch Man’ Season 2 falls flat is its subpar animation quality as compared to the first season. In fact, it’s more of a horror show, that scares you with the extent to which an anime can fall flat with a whole new season. But sadly, Season 2 is far from being sensational and lacks all the unorthodox story-telling methods of the first season. Expectations were huge from this one and though the trailer seemed a little off, most fans were still trying to believe that it would at least come somewhere close to the high-caliber animation and the comical cast of the first one. Even when it comes to ‘One Punch Man’, I had similar thoughts but even then, I won’t deny that I was more than just excited when its renewal was first announced. I strongly believe that anime like ‘ Samurai Champloo‘, ‘ Cowboy Bebop‘ and even ‘ Death Note‘ are better off with only one season as a new season would never be able to match up to the perfection of what the first one could offer.
