Recently, I finished watching One Punch Man Season 2 and here is what I thought about it. Contain spoilers for One Punch Man Season 2.

One Punch Man Season 2 doesn’t focus much on the already established S-Class heroes but instead decides to focus on small A to B-Class heroes. We also didn’t see that much on Saitama because most of the time he is playing video games with King.

I like this different approach on showing us this unique heroes with their own powers because it helps to expand this universe. If Season 1 introduce us to this universe then Season 2 elaborate more on it. A One Punch Man universe.

Like One Punch Man Season 1, this series is filled with a bunch a jokes but only some of them hit. The scene with Saitama in the hospital with the banana was really funny though.

The whole story about Saitama in the martial arts competition seem really unnecessary and I actually forgot about it when I was watching the final episode of the season. This season doesn’t know what to focus on as I would rather see Saitama chasing down Garou or the Monster Association than see him in the martial arts competition.

Seeing less of Saitama give a chance to showcase more different heroes but we also want to see more of Saitama. So that’s a big problem this season face and it can’t find a balance between whether to show Saitama or not.

It’s frustrating to realise that we won’t see the end of the story because they introduced the Monster Association two thirds into the series. But what’s more worrying is if we have to wait another 4 years for the next season to finish the story.

They definitely should have kept it simple to Saitama chasing down Garou but I am curious to see where they will take this new Monster Association to.

The animation is really bad for its fight scenes but they have improved on the character designs to make it look more updated. For the fight scenes, the movement doesn’t feel that fluid and they have this tendency to make the screen blurry to add more “ACTION”. This is literally a animated equivalent to shaky cameras in fight scenes.

This wasn’t much of a disappointment to me because I only watched One Punch Man Season 1 last year so I didn’t really have to wait so long.
