>Director of S3 Shinpei Nagai: “It probably won't measure up to Season 1. But the anime is infused with the creators' tenacity and ingenuity. Please stop with the harassment and the persistent questions that I can't answer due to NDAs. I beg you, please.”>https://x.com/ShinNagai_Anime/status/1964732250383417787It's over.
>>282127240here's the complete message:>No, I came here with the awareness and determination to shoulder the meaning of carrying on the work you all treasure. I might make something you don’t like, or even upset you. But someone has to take that responsibility. I’ve steeled myself and am approaching it with resolve. It probably won’t reach the level of season 1. But the film still contains the creators’ passion and ingenuity. Please at least accept that much.These days, there are many studios backed by major corporate funding, and much of the talent has been concentrated in those companies. Even so, I want to support J.C. Staff, who are trying to improve working conditions, nurture employees, and raise them within the company.So please—stop with the harassment, and stop asking questions I can’t answer because of NDAs. I beg you.it's not over
I need Fubuki ass
I need Sonic ass
>>282128290>>282128327i need your mom's ass
>>282127240I can't wait!
>>282128107If you call yourself a professional and can't surpass your predecessors why even bother? I thought japs were all about muh honor and seppukku if they shamed that honor.
>>282128896>ohhh I'll never be in the top percent of all time so I'll just give up on my career of choice and go work in a factorymindcucked
>>282128707I need this anon's ass
>>282127240>It probably won't measure up to Season 1.This isn't news to anyone who watched Season 2.
>>282128896>can't surpass your predecessors why even bother? I thought japs were all about muh honor and seppukku if they shamed that honor.in japanese work culture the dishonor and shame would actually be to show up your predecessors by mogging them desu
>>282128327shadow the hedgehog...
>>282128327Shadow your gayness will make the Chao cry.
>>282127240It's JC Staff of course it won't be as good as Madhouse's seaosn.
It won't even measure up to S2
>>282127240>it's not overCope
>>282127240>>282128107I feel bad for this guy. Really the fault is of the OPM production committee, that was too cheap or incompetent to hire anyone but JC Staff, again, even after a 6 years wait.
>>282130982>a 6 years waitHas it really been that long...
>>282127240>that I can't answer due to NDAsI fucking hate these NDAs. This is a fucking adaption, there is nothing to spoil to ruin the marketing, we know what will happen, so just fucking tell us.
I'm glad Murata's slop is going to be butchered, especially this arc in particular where he ruined a great story that should've been a slam dunk. Bless this director and JC Staff. I'm going to watch it and laugh.
>>282128107It's really gotta grind on the guy when every single letter, DM and fan that approaches you says>YOU AREN'T GONNA FUCK THIS UP LIKE THE LAST ONE, RIGHT?Poor bastard. Ganbare Nagai-san
What if he ends up breaking his limiter and delivers something decent at least above S2? Maybe this grim display inspires a bunch of passionate freelancers to jump in to animate stuff for a few pennies
I honestly don't understand how one of the most popular shows of all time and the number one parody in anime doesn't get more funding, time, a better studio and more workers.Yeah, yeah, maybe it isn't as popular in Japan, but it definitely is worldwide
>>282132468probably because the story turns into goyslop after the first seasonit was a flash in a pan tied to the capeshit crazeby now basically nobody cares, especially not after ONE kept telling murata to redo shit constantly and even the plot in the webcomic went to shit
>>282132468With season 2 I could understand if the OPM committee wanted it out fast to keep the momentum going, and JC Staff was the only studio available on such a short notice. But after so much time and how shit season 2 was, there are no excuses.
>>282132433Aoki scenes will be good
>>282132468>maybe it isn't as popular in JapanWell, the thing is, the rest of the world is only secondary market and the main target is always Japan. So worldwide sentiment doesn't matter much
>>282132506season 2 took four years. that's not what happened.
>>282132563in terms of stuff getting second seasons that's a crazy fast turnover rate for something that isn't weekly shounenslop or a specific studio's pet projecti will remind you to this day stuff like NGNL still has no season 2
>>282132499What's the focus of modern One Punch Man?Season 1 was great when focusing on Saitima. He doesn't care about backstory of anyone or the tone of the fight or shonen monologues or anything and just punches the baguy and wins. Was a great dynamic. Seeing him not care about hero association power ranking whatever autism and just kill Frieza on the way home from the shops as the finale was great.Season 2 seemed to actually focus on all these shonen whoever characters like Sonic Speed or Baseball Kid, although the point of the show was that that was all cringe just punch the guy lmao no-one wants to know Sasuke's backstory, and making them and their relationships and training to fight Garo the focus was bizarre.The newer chapters on Golden Sperm or whatever I'm vaguely aware of but have no idea what they're doing with it. Does Saitama punch them like the classic chapters, or is it more Disco Man trying to throw lightning at him with the help of Captain Magic but they can't get past his spirit barrier yin yang bankai tangrams release so Hyper Kid does bla bla bla. I think God was introduced and it's all serious like Evangelion now?I'll watch more if it's Saitama being a cool dude who doesn't give a shit. I don't understand what Season 2 was even supposed to be and if they continued with that style.
>>282127240Can't fault him for saying thatThey're working with muRATaslop, after all
>>282133177>I don't understand what Season 2 was even supposed to be and if they continued with that style.I have some bad news for you.Season 3 stuff onward is just tripling down on the bullshit from season 2.
OJM's writing was completely out of gas at this point, doesn't matter if Miyazaki directed it.
>>282132499>turns into goyslop after the first seasonIf S2 had better pacing and better production values you wouldn't believe this.
>>282133344i believe that off both the webcomic and the murata manga anonthe first season worth of content is a proper parody that doesn't take itself too seriously but when it does it delivers decent moments like boros and riderseason 2 content is when it starts taking itself too seriously because the joke starts to get overplayed and constantly fucks up by committing the kind of shit it was mocking at the start of the seriesby the time in the webcomic when mask unironically dumps his entire backstory with zero self awareness and expects the reader to take it completely seriously was when i realized ONE completely lost the plot of the damn thing
>>282128107>I’ve steeled myself and am approaching it with resolve.
I mean nothing will top the fan animation with Young Girl A remix playing of the final fight between Saitama and Garou even if the original studio animated it.
>>282133344>If S2 wasn't bad instead of good, you wouldn't believe thisYes, RETARD!
>>282128290Cringe>>282128327Based
>>282127240Well thats a terrible sign. The dude has such little confidence in the project he's already coming out and begging people not to threaten to kill him and his studio when they see the new season.
>>282137201>japanese>having no confidence whatsoeverThis is actually more bullish, we should be worried if he's bragging about it being the best ever made. That would be completely out of character.
>>282129237Yeah, saying you're going to do better than senpai is far worse than saying your product's going to be wet dogshit. That's why the Japanese turned on that chubby Chainsaw Man dork so savagely - it wasn't even how much his direction sucked, it was his "I'm going to go past mere anime" attitude.
>>282133221Story by ONE
>>282132499nice try pinning it on ONE you absolute faggot. Murata is acting alone and the webcomic is still kino. kill yourself.
>>282142407>nice try pinning it on the author of the series
>>282142433the author of the Manga is Murata
>>282142446
>>282142126>>282142491it clearly isn't albeit
>>282142525Ok schizo.
>>282127240>It probably won’t reach the level of season 1Why bother then?
they should just make it as bad as possible as a joke
>>282131126this desu
>>282142795We purposely butchered the adaptation, as a joke.
>>282132433what if he breaks from murata's bloated arc and steers the season more towards the webcomic version?
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oh7bd-CDY6Uhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vmAmTUUS49YLooking at the trailer and latest PV was enough to tell you it's going to be a disaster, but the director having to come out and say "we did our best p-please no bully" is the biggest red flag.This is going to be worse than second season. OPM fags are about to feel the pain of Index fans.
>>282145546>This is going to be worse than second seasonBorderline impossible. If anyone has the webms still saved please dump em all.
>>282145546Shut up, bitch
One Punch Man is the type of anime/manga that forgot that it was supposed to be a parody. The moment it takes itself serious is when it dies
