Apparently that one was done by a guest director with a ‘distinct’ style. Preview for the next ep looks normal! Which is a huge relief.

Thank you so much for sharing this gif! Although the episode's animation was hugely disappointing to say the least, this part made me laugh the most... it was just ridiculous
I'm glad to hear that, I was sincerely hoping that wasn't going to be the norm from now on!
I'm not sure what kind of stuff was predicted so I can't really say. Plus, we've only watched the first episode so far.
Well people were saying that the animation looked like trash in the trailers. The prediction was that they saw how much people liked the previous one so they decided to make a cheap new season to rake in some cash.
the best part was when the moth dude flies into the watchpost and it spontaneously combusts
The animation quality does seem to have declined some in the second season. I don't think it's that bad, but I don't really focus on the animation as much as the story/characters. Great animation is like a bonus for me.
That was seriously hilarious, I was bewildered but it was a pretty funny episode with that horrible animation, honestly...
I don't usually go solely for good animation, but the animation in One Punch Man s1 really helped to sell a lot of the story beats, especially in regards to showing off Saitama's power compared to everybody around him. It was a solid show anyway, but I don't think it would have been nearly as good without the animation.
As for s2, the downgraded animation is only partially what puts me off. The most defining factor however is I don't see the need for a second season of One Punch Man. Where can it possibly go from s1 without just retreading the same plot points? Even if there's something new to do, the impact is lost after the ending.
By which I mean:
The entire series is based around the premise of "I want to fight somebody who can take more than one punch from me". He does that at the end of the series. His entire character arc is done with and there's really nothing else that can be done other either totally recycling that plot or going the boring old Dragonball Z route of having increasingly more powerful enemies appear from friggin' nowhere, at which point you couldn't even call it 'ONE PUNCH man' anymore.

I really liked One Punch Man, but I really don't see the second season not being total trash, and it's only partially due to the animation. I've not read the manga, probably won't, I don't know how long it went on for or how closely it was adapted, but I really don't see what could be done in the second season that could change my mind. The premise of OPM was based entirely around a single joke, the punchline for which was given in the final episode.
It would be like doing a second season of Gurren Lagann or Kill La Kill: there's absolutely no need, the story is done. Leave it be.

Never did find out what show this is from:
Mimi Cheems
gonna watch it burn! ♡
Has anyone seen Cells at Work? (Hataraku Saibou)
What do you guys think of it?
It's a really cute and educational anime. I really enjoy it. I plan on cosplaying Platelet-Chan soon :>

I loved that anime! The show taught me a lot of things while also being really cute. What made it even better was reading the post online from real doctors about each episode.

The opening is super catchy. One of my favorite openings! If they had an anime opening try not to sing along challenge with all of my favorite anime openings, I'd probably crack and collapse at that one!
My favorite character is Neutrophil 1146, AND I really love the Dendritic Cell. Along with Killer T <:
Neutrophil 1146 was a freaking BA half the time!
Cancer actually became my favorite character since his debut. They took such an interesting take on something so devastating like cancer. The whole being born in a world that doesn't want you. Hearing how that feels coming from the Cancer cell was really sad. Never thought I'd ever feel sad for cancer lol

Dororo ep 16 was great! Animation quality is back to normal 
I love the shark boi's design! Can't wait to see Jiromaru kick Itachi's ass. He needs to square up after what he did to Dororo at the end. I was starting to feel bad for him, but then he stripped her naked and now I want him dead. I was hoping Hyakkimaru would've showed up to save Dororo in this one, but I am looking forward to seeing him reunited with the doctor! and poor Dororo, how much more crap does she have to go though? >.< my poor bby.

Such a tease!
I saw the movie Lelouch of the Re;surrection at an anime convention and it has gotten me super into Code Geass again. I am now watching the random spinoffs and movies I didn't see. I am also considering making a Lulu cosplay. I wanted to for a while, but his new outfit has even more pretty gold trim and I love it.
Happy 1st year anniversary to The Anime Thread!

In celebration of this (and because my internet is fast again), I watched the most recent episodes of Black Clover I missed and watched an episode of HunterxHunter.
Black Clover episodes 80-82:
Episodes 80 and 81 were really intense. Finral’s team faced off against Langris’s team and got locked in a deadly battle when Langris begin emitting a dark, sinister power far stronger than anything Finral could handle. Finral’s two allies had already been transported to the other team’s crystal, and tried to destroy it, but Langris destroyed their crystal AND badly injured Finral to where he needed medical help to live still. The Wizard King stepped in and paused everything with time magic before they could fight any longer, and then round one of the semifinals began abruptly afterwards. Asta, Mimosa, and Zora’s (disguised as Xerx) team took on Finral’s team and Mimosa carried the crystal with plant magic while Asta began deflecting Langris’s dark bullets. Because the magic is so powerful, Mimosa had to also keep using recovery magic on Asta, otherwise his body would shatter and he would die, as well as the crystal. Asta decided to go into anti-magic mana dark mode in order to win and protect himself, but needed some time to get his ki circular. Zora stepped in front of Asta and unleashed a powerful trap magic spell in front of Langris’s dark bullets, while shouting that this wasn’t the magic knights his father dreamed of. The episode also featured a backstory on Zora’s father who was the first peasant to join the magic knights after training for years and becoming a father, but later died and left Zora pretty messed up with an intense hatred for magic knights. Episode 82 was a special of Charmy and her quest for food. That’s all I’ll say about it as it’s pretty hilarious. Definitely looking forward to the coming episodes.
HunterxHunter episode 64:
All I watched since resuming the series so far was episode 64, but it was pretty intense and interesting. Gon and Killua continued to train and started practicing different techniques including Ken, Ko, and Ryu, which allows them to fight much more powerfully at fast speeds. Meanwhile, the group of all the players who were gathered to find all the cards and clear the game just needed 10 cards left, but a guy with blonde hair stepped forward and revealed himself as the bomber. He had planted bombs on everyone that accelerate with heart beats, and he has the ability to use little flower, a technique that explodes someone’s face from his hand if they try to touch him. He made a proposition that they hand over all 90 of the cards or die by exploding when the timers end. One of the guys tried to bargain with him and ended up getting killed. At the end of the episode, some members of the Phantom Troupe arrived at Greed Island on a boat, since it exists in the real world. Something tells me it’s about to get real. Really looking forward to the coming episodes.
