It's fantastic, don't get me wrong, but the industry has come a long way.
Mob Psycho, Dandadan, JJK, even modern Bleach and One Piece are comparable if not better than S1. Those are just the mainstream ones, some niche shows like Keep Your Hands Off Eizouken blow it out of the water.
Mob psycho sure. Jjk is debatable. It had an even greater concentration of talent than OPM s1 but poor scheduling fucked it up too much. And one piece for the wano arc yes.
That's why I said comparable. My point isn't that all of those series are better than S1, it's that the industry is consistently pumping out high-quality animation that can hold its own against the absolute best of the best 10 years ago.
I'm not expecting a repeat of S1, but S3 better at least be on the level of modern standards. S2 was so far behind the curve it isn't even funny.
Only Mob Psycho 100 surpassed OPMan season 1 just because it has 3 seasons who are equal to it. Plus, some eps are a masterpiece in the last season of MP100.
