I feel Mad House knows that this manga is a parody work that often outshines more serious efforts, and as such is putting all the effort into the anime to put others to shame.
Looking at you, Attack on Titan.

Madhouse was smart and swept up a bunch of talented animators.
It's not the studio though, it's the animators. Lots of the animators working on this show worked on a show that has equal if not better animation than OPM, Space Dandy. Madhouse themselves aren't responsible for the good animation.

Madhouse is pretty good at keeping a consistent production schedule but the Director has blatantly said that the good animation isn't due to budget or anything but due to talented animators

Aren't there 57 manga issues and a web comic?
Will the series have a proper conclusion?

The manga by Yuusuke Murata is an adaptation of the webcomic by ONE.
Each manga chapter varies greatly in content and page number and it releases on an unpredictable schedule. So this is most likely all we will get.
Attack on Titan is more still images with lots of moving lines in the background rather than real animation.
If I learned anything from reading manga and checking anime, it's that conclusions are either lightyears away or not that satisfying.
Most of the stuff I'm currently watching/reading is the former.

cool never knew that
how does this work though do animators just get contracts for series or did a bunch of those Space Dandy animators leave Bone and went to MadHouse
either way now that I know I completely see the animation influence from the last few episodes relative to Dandy

Most animators/directors are like contractors, yeah. They don't necessarily work for one studio but they can work with one often.

Most key animators work as freelancers, not as employees of any particular studio. So they will work wherever they're asked to work. Kyoto Animation is the only studio that doesn't employ freelancers.

This show, this fucking no BS show, I forget anime can be this good.
Funny you say that because the animator who animated most of the fight this week did a lot of key animation for AoT. AoT looks poor most of the time but it certainly nailed the action sequences.

Attack on Titan has its moments. If I had a gif I'd post it, but a few of the 3DMG scenes are pretty terrific. Those moments are much fewer than in something like OPM though

That was better than the freaking manga, fantastic episode.
I agree that when Attack on Titan actually had a budget that they had some of the best animated scenes in current anime.
Sadly, those scenes were very very rare and it was usually pretty bad.

Yeah, I remember cracking up the first time I read "Handsomely Masked Sweet Mask" and it's a shame that comedic element is missing from the show. It's a tiny gripe and speaks to how awesome this series is turning out to be that it's about the only thing I dislike so far.
One area I think MadHouse is killing it, though, is giving Saitama a hilarious range of expressive faces. I feel they've gone farther than Murata did in the manga adaptation.

I wasn't a fan of how Madhouse did Saitama's face while he was explaining his powers when compared to the manga
I thought the manga version was pretty similar? Been a while since I read that part.

Yeah, definitely different. I prefer MadHouse's slightly goofier version. It was one of my favorite scenes that ep.

I love how all the different directors and animators are making each fight super distinct from one another.

Yeah, it keeps things fresh. My favorite sequences are still from episode 1 though.

I never made that connection that the Hero Association was founded due to Saitama!

Saitama's wide range of facial expressions is one of the things I love most about the show.

Aha, I didn't notice the drool!
Speaking of tiny details:
Dr. Stench/Kureno saved the Genosfro!

Genos v. Saitama was fucking sick. I liked this episode a lot, and I think they did Sweet Mask really well, can't wait to see some more of him later.
The comedy bits with Genos and Saitam get me every episode too, even though I know they're coming.
"Did you bring a toothbrush?"
lol
Honestly, I feel like this train has no brakes. I think I'll love every episode.

I don't know about you guys, but my favorite piece of animation was after Saitama held back on the death punch, tapped Genos on the nose, and then sauntered away with his felix the cat cartoon walk.

Goddamn that fight was awesome. Madhouse has amazing animators because this is fucking awesome. Amazing work from them.
That death punch was the highlight for me. Really wish for anime to be well animated like OPM is. Hopefully a second season will happen but that will definitely take a while.

Man the animation in this show is just so goddamn amazing, the fight scenes is the like stuff you'd see in lots of action anime movies. Fight scene was dope and Saitama's last punch was just ridiculous lol!
Also Vol.3 of the manga is coming this Tuesday on November 3rd.
