I fully agree on your take regarding the animation! Many people were/are blinded by some "state-of-the-art" series and/or have a small sample to compare to. I think S2 looks more than fine, and I'd even venture to say that the animation picks up continuously as the season progresses. Also yeah, you're right about not remembering listening to the ending because on the first episode they played the new opening at the end instead. That vibrato-style singing is fairly common in more traditional Japanese music and is not super popular nowadays, but it used to be way more popular before the pop-style singing took over the industry in general. Keep up the good work, and hope you fully recover soon, mate!

This season of One Punch Man is definitely more than fine in terms of animation quality. It's just that One Punch Man S1 has exceptional animation. When people say that something has "better animation" they refer mainly to the characters/objects/etc actually moving, not the graphics or visual effects. You'll notice in this season that there's just more stills, and they compensate it with visual effects, camera pans/zooms or characters teleporting so it doesnt look that stiff. In non-battle scenes, when characters are talking in animes with low animation quality you'll notice how the characters are mostly still and only the mouth moves a lot more often, it's kinda boring to watch. Compare this to something like Reigen in Mob Psycho where Reigen is moving all the time and being really expressive or Hibike Euphonium where the characters have good character acting (the way they move when they cry, get happy, get surprised etc just feels really convincing, like there's an actual human on screen, human actors don't stand still with just their mouths moving) Kyoani the studio that made Euphoniun are known for their godlike 2d animation, not only everything looks good and really detailed, everything is constantly moving/doing some kind of gesture, even characters in the background. Sometimes, to make good animation, the characters look less detailed or have simpler character designs (Mob Psycho is kind of an example of that) but KyoAni somehow manages to do both. And i don't think I have to mention how insane something like Arcane looks. It's like there's actual actors on screen, but no, people drew and animated that. (Sure they use 3D models, so they don't hae to draw the characters from zero everytime like in strictly 2D animated shows but still) 22:15- 23:00 I think this is one good example in this episode of why people call this a downgrade, look at everyone just not moving, it's just camera pans or zooms. But yeah, again, it's totally fine in general, people have way too high expectations. One Punch Man S1 was an exception, not the norm.

Hadn't listened to that ending before - Thought the singer sounded familiar. Looked it up and it's Saitamas voice actor! Makoto Furakawa

As an artist and animator myself the art and animation difference is very noticeable but I fully understand how it wouldn't be as apparent to most casual watchers. That is how most things work after all. I don't know what exactly you've heard from others but there's a tendency to way over exaggerate season 2's drop in quality and call it straight up bad. The animation is still pretty decent and the people saying it's bad because it's not as good as one of the most well animated seasons of tv anime ever are just being unfair. I will say some of the extreme takes may be because when it first aired due to Japanese tv regulations to prevent seizures many scenes with fast movements and flashes had to be ghosted and dimmed which blurred the animation making it look worse than it actually was. Fortunately the site you're on is using the bluray version that removes it.

This is my first time seeing S2. I definitely noticed the animation not being as good as S1 at some parts, like when someone was being blown away and it looked like a still image sliding across the screen. I don't know much about animation either, so I'm not saying shows with good animation don't do that. But I don't notice it in shows where the animation impresses me, so if they do it, they make it less noticeable. It's not bad enough to damage the investment I've developed in the series from S1 though. I still enjoyed the episode. Thanks for the reaction as always!

People are still excited for S3 in the community so at least people weren’t completely turned off by any differences.

The jump in animation quality is the difference between a 6.5 vs an 8 in quality. S1 easily has an 8/10 on animation. Everything was silky smooth and looked accurate to their style of animation from the studio. With this season (and the next season soon to come out) the quality definitely drops but it’s still consistent enough to enjoy. It has its blemish’s but also some stand out moments. Nothing to bring it to a 7 imo. QUESTION, would you be willing to do manga reads or manga material for any anime youve watched? Like reading over defining chapters rather then the whole manga? In this case, reading through the Saitama vs Boros fight front last season?

I have never really had patience for that. The issue would be if I took time to do that, something else doesn't get done

To use an analogy that you would relate to Tony, for people who are very familiar with animation and their eyes are more used to it after watching various styles for decades, season 1's animation is like when you talk about a composition that is just above and beyond anything else out there, where as season 2 is more like a competent level with less nuance but is still perfectly enjoyable, and you can clearly make that distinction in audio with your ears but an outsider would just say "these are both good, I really enjoy them." I made a comment at the end of season 1 along the lines of "you will see season 2 slander but please disregard, it's not that big of a deal" because even though it is a step down, it is still good animation and shouldn't really detract from your experience, but some people (in typical internet fashion) see a step down and say it's looks like trash, when compared to your average anime it's still good animation. Happy to see you're enjoying it regardless. Some of the best story and jokes are in season 2 so plenty to look forward to.

Personally I like both seasons equally since while the animation isn’t as good, the story picks up quite a bit in season 2.
