LMAO if they have mediocre animation and change the story it would probably just kill the anime completely

S2 already killed the anime for good. Even a very good joke is only 1 time funny.

From my understanding season 3 was supposed to be like season 2 but worse according to the manga canon. So before I get disappointed I'll wait until I hear what the next season is supposed to be about. If it's all Saitama for once I'll be hype idc
Edit:.... Apparently it's just more side stories again...? Sounds like they could have just not done ova at that point

I have seen on multiple posts that the OPM manga is constantly going back on its writing, so I guess this is him saying that the manga sucks

u/MrTzatzik Jul 25 '25
Yeah, manga is unreadable. You read multiple chapters and then find out that it was waste of time because the author change last five chapters and the story is different

u/MetroidIsNotHerName Jul 25 '25
You guys are so dramatic. They revise things when they go back and its not at all hard to track what has been going on.
I think its really cool to see the various versions as they iterate through it. Some of the revised Garou stuff was really cool and then the final version they settled on was awesome.
If you cant handle revisions dont read weekly but i dont understand why you think it makes the series "unreadable". Its genuinely very easy to keep the plot details straight

u/NoMoreVillains Jul 25 '25
Iterate before you release it, not after. And what do you mean if you can't handle revisions, don't read weekly?? No other mangaka does this because it's incredibly dumb. At most we'll see slight tweaks (mostly art fixes) in volume releases, but in general what they publish is it for that chapter

I enjoyed reading the iterations. By the same token you could wait until they finish releasing an arc to read it. Youll be waiting the same amount of time anyway
No other mangaka does this because it's incredibly dumb.
Do you have a reason why iterating is bad aside from "I must read weekly and dont like it"??
in volume releases, but in general what they publish is it for that chapter
Well, good thing Murata works digitally then lol

u/NoMoreVillains Jul 25 '25
It's bad because when you're reading a piece of fiction released at any cadence (weekly, monthly, etc) you want forward progression of the narrative. Iterations mess with that because, at any moment, what you read will be invalidated.
Not to mention how much it sucks when the time spent waiting for the next release could potentially be wasted because what you read could effectively be scrapped.
Just because you enjoy it doesn't mean most people do and that's further evidenced by the fact no one else does this.
Your only argument is "I like it".

And you are getting that. The fact that you go read the digital version of the chapter before its full release or finalization is your own self created problem.
Iterations mess with that because, at any moment, what you read will be invalidated.
And the human brain is capable of keeping this straight with little issue. It is not at all confusing to me that the chapters where Blast had a relationship with Voids sister are gone. It is not at all confusing to me that Saitama and Garou didnt actually make peace over tea before God could get involved. They are the equivalent of fun "what ifs" that currently are non cannon. If you cant keep shit straight then dont read the revisions.
Not to mention how much it sucks when the time spent waiting for the next release could potentially be wasted because what you read could effectively be scrapped
If he werent making the revised versions public you would be waiting exactly as long because they would still be working through those revisions internally without releasing them. Thats why im saying it literally makes no difference in wait time if you simply waited for the arc to be finalized.
Just because you enjoy it doesn't mean most people do and that's further evidenced by the fact no one else does this
It is not "evidenced by the fact that noone does this". It is something that was never done before because manga are not all-digital. You will absolutely see more authors doing this in the next 10+ years.

Low standards?
Again, you would be waiting the same amount of time while they did these drafts behind closed doors. You guys sound so stupid acting like they could just "do it right the first time" like its so easy. As if people dont iterate on songs, and books, and movies before final release as a matter of course in their creation. Murata and One are unique in that they let you see the iterative process. You are not forced into anything.
The problem is not my standards, it is that you people have no patience and feel that you must read the weekly iterations even though you could wait for the arc to be completed and avoid all of the issues that you have with it.

âYou guys sound so stupid acting like they could just do it right the first timeâ Thats their job to do. Thats what deadlines and editors are for. I donât care if itâs a chapter released a week or a year, but if your releasing the chapter officially im expecting that to be the final product , like any and every other mangaka. Youâre trying to make it sound like the readers are being ridiculous when itâs murata, the writer, expecting readers to come back as he erases months worth of chapters, changing continuity , that is in back being ridiculous with the amount and consistency of the rewrites

u/MetroidIsNotHerName Jul 26 '25
Thats their job to do.
I mean, they dont owe you shit tbh. Shueisha gives them as much rope as they do because they deliver high quality manga that sells well. You probably dont even pay to read it, yet you complain about your free, early access chapter getting revised. Its so entitled and stupid.

Hes a mangaka, by nature of his job he owes his editors and bosses chapters, yes. I never said he owed me anything, but nice attempt at a deflect. The lengths you go suck off a man who doesnât know you is insane, talk about delusional. Whether readers pay for it or not is irrelevant as he nor Japan cares about the audience outside of Japan.

u/Beetusmon Jul 25 '25
It kinda becomes somewhat unreadable. If you are just doing your weekly read, then you start getting chapters and concepts mixed, and then just finding out a place that has all the latest chapters becomes a problem. Then you thought you knew something, but theb remember that isn't Canon. Besides, such massive rewrites are extremely inefficient. Murata and One should sit down and define a pathway clearly to stop wasting so many resources.

No you dont. Its really easy to keep straight stuff straight, like i said. If you struggle for whatever reason, then you dont need to read weekly. You can let the arc release and then read it.

Artists should be able to do their art in whatever way they so choose without people complaining about it being "inefficient"

u/Beetusmon Jul 25 '25
Sure, but it still inefficient and it's a waste of time and effort for all involved, especially for murata because his work goes wasted and he probably hates the chapters he feels forced to revise it. A clear script and pathway works wonder here.
I am not reading weekly because it's too messy indeed and a lot of people have put the manga on hiatus as well. Getting so defensive for an obvious true statement is weird.

They dont care. This is art not some corporate publication house.
it's a waste of time and effort for all involved,
Im sure that, as perfectionist as they are, One and Murata do not view it as time wasted.
because his work goes wasted and he probably hates the chapters he feels forced to revise it
Murata is literally the driving force behind a ton of these revisions why act like One is just dragging an unwilling victim along?
Getting so defensive for an obvious true statement is weird.
"An obvious true statement" it is not.
Edit: lol he tossed direct insults in a final comment and then deleted them all.

They revised an entire arc, a whole years worth of chapters deamed useless. That is not being dramatic that is just being a poor writer who canât make up their mind. Readers have a right to be upset. Especially considering the webcomic, the supposed blueprint to manga, has been right there from the start. The webcomic has been so far and away past what the manga is adapting, murata just cant write

u/Corronchilejano Jul 25 '25
I don't think I've ever seen anything revise 30% of its content.
1
u/MetroidIsNotHerName Jul 25 '25
Thats because they didnt show you it during the process. Irs your choice whether to watch the process in motion or wait for the completed result

u/Corronchilejano Jul 25 '25
I don't think you know much of how a team writes a manga. It's not customary to have a completely finished chapter suddenly thrown away, nevermind one of every three.

u/MetroidIsNotHerName Jul 25 '25
Murata is a perfectionist. That doesnt change what i said. It being uncommon or not customary does not change it either. Art is not about conforming to norms at all times

u/Corronchilejano Jul 25 '25
If you're trying to defend the manga you're doing such an odd job focusing on absurd points.

u/MetroidIsNotHerName Jul 25 '25
What exactly about what ive said is absurd?
You guys seem to just be wholly attached to the idea that the manga must follow all these rules but this is One and Muratas project and clearly they will do what they want. Come back for the finished project if it confuses you or stay if it doesnt.
2
u/Corronchilejano Jul 25 '25
Everything.
Murata isn't creating this out of thin air. The webcomic is right there, and he's basically adding plot points for... I don't know what reasons. His "perfectionism" amounts to not being able to write something that's satisfactory and then drawing a full chapter that he then gets trashed. That's just bad production. It can happen a couple of times, but about sixty times?
I'm not humoring you anymore.

u/Hour_Helicopter_1991 Jul 25 '25
Filler implies killing time so that there's eventually enough source material to return to adapting. This on the other hand could mean just an alternate take on the property

...way to kill the hype man.
Just remake One's original with great art and animation without changing much of the story pace.
Mob Psycho is masterclass example of how to adapt One's series.

u/MrTzatzik Jul 25 '25
Rewriting in manga, rewriting in anime, can't we just get OPM without rewriting/redrawing?
1
u/vondex13 Jul 25 '25
Oh no I get this, especially this Arc had lots of redraws like I think one fight was redrawn three different times or something like that so they're probably just going to stick closely to the broad strokes while trying to make it cohesive for anime watchers.

So now it's a positive it's a filler??? I am confused.
I mean if its good content that fills in some gaps great.

u/VJDargil Jul 25 '25
I was always pessimistic about the Monster Association adaptation because of the insane amount of great and neverending fights, and good anime team or not, that would require a lot of time, money and episodes to even just adapt it decently.
I want to believe that One's statement means that the anime will follow the webcomic more instead of the manga, giving us less fights, which i would be fine with as long as it is well made and streamlined in a compelling way.
Whatever they end up doing if they cut stuff there will inevitably be complains, that whole segment has so many iconic moments and it will be impossible to make everyone happy i am afraid
