(+) Yeah! (+)

I wont believe its not WIT until S4 happens by a different studio. Was there even any official confirmation? Seemed like people were assuming just because some twitter anime nerd said so

The only real confirmation I've seen is their own Twitter counting down the days until what they're calling the final episode
---

The Sakuga Blog guy is friends with some animators who work for Wit and says they've said this is Wit's last season. That's the most believable source I've seen so far.
---

Still can't get over how utterly creepy the S2 ED is with all the forshadowing they put out there.

New Fire Force PV.

uhhhh

nope, the live action kenshin movies are actually awesome

I mean, they should've already animated it long ago but yeah
---

I saw some clips it looked pretty crazy in a good way.

But I'm just not really interested in some hour and a half films trying to adapt 8 volumes of manga.

Nor do I care about translating animated characters into live-action. It's all just a big "who cares" to me, even if the end product is as good as it's gonna get.
---

I feel like next season has a lot of question marks, but Cop Craft has interested me more with each PV.

I realize Darkshine is already a questionable character, but OOOOOOOF JC Staff what are you doing with that?

I'm here to tell you that while this opinion is valid to have, that you should still watch them because they are extremely enjoyable.

They manage to make the Shishio fight better so I have total faith in what they do with Jinchuu.
---

I just watched the trailers for the other movies and damn, that moment with Shishio 1v4ing is so damn cool. I might have to watch these.

Yo that fight is INCREDIBLE.

I think that's one of the most well-crafted fights in all of shounen history so I really doubt it

I didn't see anything JC did that made him more questionable than originally conceived.

Were you expecting them to be more proactive about his depiction?

really? I didn't like it as much as some of the other fights in the series and even those I felt were a little slow and plodding at times.

He looks like a Terraformar.

Eh, that shot was in a dark room trying to make him look intimidating.

But I do hate the crazy shine they put on everything.
---

Will say congrats for having another really good looking 15 seconds again.

I don't have Kenshin in my recent enough memory to really argue back besides saying "I don't think this is true."

It is probably the longest fight in the series to that point, but I think that's justified considering it's the climax to the longest arc and the biggest baddie. Plus he does fight 4 people.

So much of this season was the crappy tournament filler that I started to forgive the shitty animation.

But then this episode hit with one of my favorite fights and it's just so underwhelming.

OPM S2 has filler? How is that even possible with the several year gap since the first season

OPM has evolved to the point where Saitama doesn't matter anymore and him being on screen is the least fun parts to see, which...I don't necessarily think that's a bad thing?

The anime is just faithfully adapting the manga, which added filler content when adapting the web comic.

So not anime filler in the traditional sense.
---

literal manga filler

I went over this when I was explaining, multiple times, why I had no expectations of OPM S2 being even 1/3 as good as S1

It was pretty shocking to see the web comic to manga ratio for the S1 content versus the web comic to manga ratio for the S2 stuff.
---

Saitama was definitely the worst part of OPM S1!

Yeah same. I kinda just want bones to redo the whole thing. Adapt the web comic with the Mob style.

what are the good parts if it's not saitama?

it's definitely saitama for me
---

mumen rider imo

I don't know what they're saying, Saitama is most of the cool parts of the series.

But Garou is also the rest of the cool parts.
---

idk I like Genos a lot

but I like a lot of jobber characters throughout history so
---

Oh good, you too like Chad and Renji.
---

Jobbers are good stuff

I liked Renji from the beginning.

And well Vegeta is one of my favorites ever so
---

Ultimate jobber.


---

Genos is next coolest.

Really I like most of the fights though.
---

I've always been a main character kind of guy


---

Like, the second half of S1 of OPM was way better because Saitama only got a small fraction of the screentime he got in the first half.
---

and I remember Mumei's archtype was Overpowered.

His favorite was like, Aizen.
---

Nothing beats a good MC.


---

So I binged Aggretsuko season 2 last night. Not as good as season 1, but still some really good shit.
---

Oh I actually liked it more than Season 1, really really dug how it basically was two longer arcs, one for the first 5 episodes and one for the last 5 episodes
---

I liked how season 1 felt more episodic. Also didn't like how little she did her metal in season 2. Felt like she was singing metal most eps in season 1.
---

ah alright, yea we just look for different things in the show I guess. I like episodic stuff but if you're gonna give me something with a little more meat to it than I will happily oblige

And I guess my overall thoughts about the season

So I went in not liking Tadano, thought he was too perfect and just too much at first but he ended up actually being super cool, I'm just not in love with the way he was introduced with the driving school. And boy I almost got really upset with Haida starting episode 10 but they actually managed to keep it pretty chill with him and he ended up being supportive of Retsuko, I'm content with that. Oh, Fenneko got kinda shafted this season I feel, kind of unfortunate but maybe they'll get a 3rd season and she can get more.

Also kind of feel like Anai was still kind of fucked up for doing all that stuff to Retsuko and co. even if he ended up having a change of heart, but I guess at least he didn't actually end up doing any permanent damage to those he was blackmailing and whatever

Also Haida's now in with Gori and Washimi, my boy is doing it
