DESCRIPTION
The third season of One Punch Man.
Saitama is a hero who only became a hero for fun. After three years of "special training," he’s become so strong that he's practically invincible. In fact, he's too strong—even his mightiest opponents are taken out with a single punch. Alongside Genos, his faithful disciple, Saitama performs his official hero duties as a member of the Hero Association.
One day, monsters claiming to be from the Monster Association suddenly appeared, taking a child of Hero Association executive hostage. The S-class heroes gather and plan a raid on the Monster Association hideout to rescue the hostage. Meanwhile, Garou, a "human monster" who was taken by the Monster Association during a battle with the heroes, awakens in the Monster Association hideout.

20/100Wait, why do we hate this show again?Continue on AniListWait, why do we hate this show again? I mean, One Punch Man remains the same it has always been since season 1, sure, the absolutely beaten to death joke that was Saitama one punching everything is no longer there and was replaced with even more capeshit, but the quality of the writing is about the same. I know, people complain about this season because of the atrocious animation, and honestly, while I can completely understand that, I cannot for my life understand why it receives the amount of hate it gets, at the time of writing this it has an abysmal score in here, and that just tells me that this is most likely some people’s first Korean sweatshop anime, just some years ago, we were making fun of Nanatsu no Taizai Season 3, this isn’t the first time the production of a popular anime collapses this bad, it’s as if everyone, for some reason, just decided that this was the worst thing ever, when in reality, it isn’t even the worst anime airing this season. One Pucnh Man is just as good as it ever was, and I don’t mean that as a compliment.
I guess I was always a weirdo, while I can get behind the joke that One Punch Man decided to do on it’s first season, by the time episode 3 aired, it already got old, the writing of this series was never good and the jokes stopped being funny way too early, what people like about One Punch Man isn’t the plot or the characters, they are terrible, what people liked about One Punch Man was the animation. Yes, this is one obvious point, but One Punch Man is one of those shows where the term “carried by the animation” completely applies, first season was glorious in terms of animation, and calling it glorious falls short, Madhouse had all the connections that Maruyama had gotten, Shingo Natsume would call all the good animators from the industry and they would all answer, which is why it all took a nosedive once that golden period ended, as years later the series went to JC Staff. Look, almost any studio getting the series after the impressive work that Madhouse did with it would be a downgrade, but JC Staff is one of the most obvious downgrades in animation you can see between seasons, and this is where the problems come from for most people, as the animation got much worse, so they started seeing that the series was, in fact, shit. Having some nice eye candy can erase any criticism of the writing you can have because even if the writing is mediocre, you’ll be willing to overlook a couple of things because it looked cool or because the animation was mind blowing, as good directing can make bad or bland dialogue sound much better, and that is the bigger difference between seasons, all the complaints you can see about this series are all derived from the fact that the animation got astronomically worse once the switch to JC Staff happened in season 2.
I would say I’m glad that people are finally seeing One Punch Man for what it is, instead of just caring about the nice eye candy, but I can’t even say that, because the complaints, while being completely right, are also overblown. There was this fan animation going around in social media after episode 5 of this season aired, it looked absolutely horrendous and was obviously an amateur job by 1 guy, but since it had some flashy explosions in the background, these people decided that it looked very good and much better than the actual anime. I guess you can discuss which one looks worse, after all, I don’t defend this season’s animation, on the contrary, I also think it looks absolutely terrible, but the discussion around that video ignored the obvious thing that was that this person did a 40 second long video, while the people doing an anime series have to do 4 hours’ worth of content while having a very tight deadline. This doesn’t excuse the fact that the anime looks horrible, but you can tell that the complaints you hear about this show are overstated by people who know nothing about how the anime industry works, I mean, One Punch Man S3 had such horrible production schedule that they had to look for a director after the first trailer aired, no one in their sane mind will be able to do a work look good if they are pressured to do their work as fast as they can with a very tight schedule.
I guess I’m supposed to talk about this season’s plot, but it doesn’t really matter, it’s more inane capeshit with characters that nobody cares following what happened from season 2. Saitama barely even appears this season, which makes sense, because if you want to make an actual story, then having a joke character who can beat everyone in one punch would make it impossible unless you make him run around in circles, I don’t think Saitama appearing more would make this season better as his only joke got old a decade ago.
One Punch Man S3 is criticized for correct reasons that I have 0 reasons to disprove, because most of them are correct, but there are also some absolutely stupid complaints that are irrelevant and have been there since the beginning of the series, like seeing people complaining about things like the opening playing after the end of an episode is really weird, as if that was the first time it has ever happened in an anime. This season is as hated as is, not because it’s one of the worst anime ever made, but because people like to listen to their e-celeb overlords and they say this is the worst anime ever made for engagement, so they regurgitate their talking points because critical thinking is dead.
I don’t hate this season, S2 was already a thing that aired years ago and it also looked like shit, you should have expected this to also look bad. You should also have expected for Madhouse to not come back, I mean, let’s see what Madhouse is doing this season, it’s a show called Wandance, I haven’t watched it but if you’re like me then surely you have seen at least a couple of clips of it, and the animation of that show looks terrible, you could say that the blame falls on the other studio collaborating with Madhouse, but they should run a quality control too. Of course, this is because Madhouse has been neglecting their other projects, so they end up looking like shit just so they could pump out more Sousou no Frieren because they need to milk the money cow quality be damned, so don’t expect future projects like Liar Game to look good either, they don’t have them as priority, and since Madhouse no longer has Maruyama, even if your dreams of Madhouse, for some ungodly reason, decided to take the series back, it still wouldn’t look as good as season 1 did simply because the staff that made it as great as it is aren't working in Madhouse now. I can understand hating this series when it looks like shit when it had something special in S1, but I don’t think much besides the animation has changed between S1 and S3, and from S2 to this season literally nothing has changed, and for that reason I’m just handing my usual 20 and I’m telling you, if you liked the previous seasons of One Punch Man, you’ll like this one, it’s just more of the same.
Thank you for reading.

**〈 𝗢𝗻𝗲 𝗣𝘂𝗻𝗰𝗵 𝗠𝗮𝗻? 𝗠𝗼𝗿𝗲 𝗹𝗶𝗸𝗲... 〉**
Well, this is kinda awkward.
Back in June, while writing my [The Beginning after the End review](https://anilist.co/review/28237), I confidently stated the following: _"Unless the universe conspires to conceive an even more offensively incompetent, cynically produced, artistically hollow abomination in the near future, this will remain, without question, the worst anime I've ever had the misfortune of watching,"_ and while it was only meant to be an exaggerated, tongue-in-cheek hyperbole, it turns out the forces beyond took that statement as a personal challenge of sorts and tried their darndest to conceive a show that'd have a fighting chance against TBATE’s awfulness, and, well, they've effectively succeeded at that. **The third season of _One Punch Man_ is a thoroughly monumental, catastrophic, and embarrassing piece of shit that's basically doomed the entire series beyond repair or hope of recovery on the adaptation front.** Truthfully, it's such a ghoulish joke that I wouldn't be surprised if any future continuation of this mess were either rushed out in the same broken and battered state or silently shelved and buried before ever seeing the light of day. Whatever the future may hold, _One Punch Man_ has essentially cemented itself as **a watch-the-first-season-and-then-run-away-asap type of series**, and there's nothing we can really do about this disheartening fact.
That said, I'm honestly tired of having to repeat the same thing every time a dogshit product like this makes headlines, **but not even an ounce of anger, dissatisfaction, or disdain should be directed at the animators themselves.** I get it; seeing a beloved, iconic IP be turned into something indefensibly awful hurts like a motherfucker, especially when you know how god-damn cool it once was. Still, this doesn't grant anyone the right and privilege to harass, belittle, or scapegoat the animators, the director, or any other person involved in the production, because finger-pointing won't magically improve the finished product or make the situation any better. **Don't blame the animators for the piss-poor visuals; aim your criticism at the industry built on brutal scheduling, miserable funding, inhumane deadlines, chronically overworking employees, and caring more about profit rather than passion or viewer satisfaction.** Dunk on the series itself, not the overworked staff who were clearly doing the best they could within the time frame they were handed on a rusty, mould-covered platter.

With all of that mumbo-jumbo out of the way, there's really no defending this show in any meaningful way, and I can't believe my fingers are somehow writing these words, **but the visuals here are so aggressively putrid, fury-inducing, and downright depressing that they make [the god-awful season](https://anilist.co/anime/97668/OnePunch-Man-Season-2/) two look like a misunderstood, underrated Renaissance masterpiece in comparison.** Yes, that very season where [J.C.STAFF](https://anilist.co/studio/7/JCSTAFF) got their slimy, sticky, and sausage-fingered hands on the franchise and completely fumbled it on all fronts still comes across as far more competent and concrete than whatever the hell this waste is supposed to be. While I'd love to provide you with all the hilarious gifs, screencaps, and montages of horrid scenes pulled from these twelve god-forsaken episodes, I'd rather not stuff the review with these, so just like I did in my [Uzumaki](https://anilist.co/review/25846) and TBATE rants, I'll let your imagination run wild, do the heavy lifting, or gently remind you of the travesty you've recently experienced **until you can firmly grasp and visualise the kind of zombified, lifeless mess we're dealing with.**
For starters, let's address the most obvious, most criticised, and most indefensible aspect of the visuals: the animation... **or rather the total absence of it.** While I don't subscribe to the extremely simple-minded notion that the animation is the sole reason why this season blows, since the foul rot runs far deeper than just that, it's also pretty much impossible to ignore or downplay how bereft of quality it is. Any sort of movement, whether it be during dialogue-heavy moments or supposedly high-octane, explosive action scenes, is straight-up non-existent, with characters traversing their landscapes with about as much grace as a bent nail scraping a blackboard. **There's no weight, intent, or physical logic anywhere to be found.** There's barely any clear cohesion between their actions and no believable, organic interactions with the space and entities around them; it's almost as if these individuals exist in a separate plane of existence, which renders both self-contained scenes and multi-part sequences stiff, detached from reality, and fundamentally disorienting. Naturally, the most infamous example of this is the memed-to-hell [Garou](https://anilist.co/character/89277/Garou) slide, as it neatly condenses everything that's wrong with the production values into a single, skit-like event; it's essentially a Garou-shaped PNG gliding across the screen without disturbing so much as a blade of grass underneath his feet, which, funnily enough, makes the corresponding manga panels feel more animated and alive than the adaptation's rendition of that moment. **However, despite the notoriety of this sorry excuse of a clip, it's not an exception but the norm.**
Most action and non-action segments alike are just as, if not even more, fucking atrocious. Their quality ranges from laughably inconsistent and wishy-washy at best (_think episode 8 and 9 that may have managed to receive warmer reactions, but are still fundamentally asinine_), to outright bottom-tier, borderline unwatchable garbage at worst (_90 or so per cent of what you'll see on the screen_). **For heaven's sake, there's even a scene where a male monster inexplicably gains a pair of breasts in between shots; that's the level of polish, quality control, and attention to detail on display here.** Instead of kinetic motion, dynamic choreography, and bombastic physicality of the characters, we're constantly supplied with blurry speedlines, endless panning shots, limbs morphing into alien forms to simulate momentum, faces melting to fake expressiveness, you name it; **as a result, every punch, kick, special move, or deadly staredown is about as impactful and powerful as a wet paper towel.**

But, as I've already said, this hack job can't be purely pinned on the animation; every single element of the production merely sucks balls, and the art style, in particular, is genuinely off-putting. While the second season already deprived the series of its style, personality, and crispiness by obliterating the background art, colour palette, linework, and lighting, **here that already rotten, maggot-filled carcass is maniacally and crudely stitched together in a pitiful, desperate attempt to look cool and intense, only to shit the bed at every conceivable turn.** Regardless of what's happening on the screen or who's supposed to be hitting whom, the characters constantly go off-model (_unless they happen to be one of the blatant gooner bait babes wearing skin-tight, skimpy outfits, wink wink_), as their proportions stretch, shrink, and twist in various manners. **Well, it's not like anything of value was lost, since the character designs themselves are either weirdly altered for no apparent reason or reduced to shameful shadows of their former selves.** In fact, [Genos](https://anilist.co/character/73979/Genos) gets done so dirty that he spends most of the anime's runtime looking less like a sleek cyborg and more like a walking-talking metal tumour. If it weren't bad enough already, the environments they inhabit manage to look even worse, with slabs of concrete, patches of grass, stone walls, and what-have-you resembling amateurish, low-poly assets taken straight out of some obscure PS1 "hidden gem game" that nobody has enjoyed playing.
**Slap gnarly, vomit-like colours on top of all of that, and you've got yourself a visual mix so vile it could knock out a herd of elephants and still be kicking.** Everything is either undersaturated and drenched in dull tones that make every scene bear a resemblance to a mud-filled puddle, or filled with overly saturated lighting so harsh and blinding you might end up with burned-out retinas. Shading and layering also appear to be utterly foreign concepts here, as there's virtually no depth in any of the shots, and the foreground and background never feel like they belong together or blend in a tangible way. You've also got poorly cropped out models, revolting camera movements and blocking, props changing shape mid-scene, small details like band-aids and other tiny ornaments vanishing between cuts, entire scenes being skipped for shit and giggles, and manga's content getting sellotaped so haphazardly that the adaptation might as well be non-canon at this point. **I could go on and on, but this apostle of greed, profit-chasing, and employee-overwork doesn't deserve any more energy or attention.** This should've never been released in such a pathetic state. The staff deserves better. The fans deserve better. The source material deserves better. ONE and Murata deserve better.
And let's not pretend that visuals are something you can simply "ignore" when it comes to OPM, for the entire IP is practically built on loud and flashy fight scenes, awesome sequences, punchy tunes, and entertaining though simplistic humour. **When the very foundation of a product is an unforgivable, baffling, repugnant, F-tier mush, how can I or anyone else find any enjoyment in what's happening within the story?** I'm not the biggest fan of _One Punch Man_, I'll admit, but even a grumpy, crusty, and joyless geezer like me can appreciate the joy of watching a monster get its teeth knocked out by a pyjama-wearing, bald-headed guy. **Sadly, what we get here is an abominable soundtrack, atrocious visuals, piss-poor directing, and non-existent characterisation.** Tell me, what's there to enjoy? Sure, it's nice and all to laugh at an awful still, wonky-looking model, or a silly in-between from time to time; we've all done that. **However, 12 episodes of frantic fuck-ups and hilarious hiccups grow stale very, very quickly, and that's just how it is.**

I could, in theory, sit here and do a much more in-depth breakdown of everything that's wrong with _One Punch Man Season 3_; in practice, I genuinely can't find a single reason to spend another second of my already limited, precious free time bashing a show that's so fucking asinine that it briefly cured my anime burnout out of nowhere. I sincerely love writing, and I absolutely adore anime as a medium, yet this is the second time I've stumbled across a series so traumatically tragic that it drains all of my desire to pour my love for languages into composing a proper, polished write-up. In a weirdly roundabout sense, **I'm merely mirroring the level of passion and commitment this piece of shit oozes with; doing the bare minimum and waiting for my opportunity to mentally check out and fuck off to do something else.** And with that, I'm pretty much done. _One Punch Man_'s anime adaptation journey has officially headbutted a brick wall with full force, and no amount of sequels, reboots, patches, prayers, or corporate apologies will ever repair the insurmountable damage done to this once-monumental franchise. **If you love and care about [Saitama](https://anilist.co/character/73935/Saitama) and the rest of the cast, and if the first season still holds a special place in your heart, then, by all means, do yourself a favour and stick to/start the manga**; Murata's stellar drawings, at the very least, won't betray, disappoint, and spit on you with 12 episodes of underanimated, unwatchable, soulless hogwash.
_There's no OPM S3 in Ba Sing Se._

20/100basically I think we should learn to read.Continue on AniListWhat a mess. For context, I loved season 1, giving it a ten. Season 2 was a downgrade, but I still found enough enjoyment to rate it a six. 'One Punch Man 3' is truly, truly terrible. It is an embarrassment for about everyone involved.
Before I talk about animation, I want to cover the content. Many will talk about what this season does to Murata's art, but I think one of the worst things it does is how it ruins ONE's sharp and clever writing. This season continues from season 2, adapting the manga fairly faithfully up until the latter episodes, where changes are made. The key here is that none of these changes are made to improve the story or experience, in fact as someone who has read the manga and webcomic, every alteration detracts from the experience and damages the story with later events in mind. The changes are made to reduce the workload for the production team, or simply to compress into twelve episodes what was clearly too much content for them to adapt. The first half of the show especially insists on languishing in long dialogue exchanges which are boring to listen too thanks to poor voice direction, sound design and of course, the visuals. It is in every way simply a downgrade of reading the manga. Before the season released, I wondered how they would adapt the chapters of the manga covering up to Episode 5 as they were obviously quite dialogue heavy and would be incredibly uninteresting if adapted one to one. They were adapted one to one. Due to poor storyboarding, which I will cover later, there is no regard for comedic timing, so most moments are just awkward instead of funny. Important exposition is delivered in the most boring way possible. Later episodes simply divert completely from the events taking place in the source material. I will not delve into plot specifics, but anyone who is remotely interested in the story of One Punch Man simply must read the manga. Interesting character moments are removed or simply weakened by poor execution, and the season ends incredibly abruptly (even for a 'part 1'). I do not know how they continue from this point given the story seems irreparably damaged. The sparse moments where I felt anything resembling a positive emotion was when the show reminded me of a moment in the manga I had enjoyed, and I could sort of superimpose that memory onto my current experience.The technical execution is laughable. The aspect that gets the most ridicule is the animation. Shots are always static. When they do move, it is normally quite painful. Choppy, stilted run and walk cycles show even the most rudimentary animation fails to be performed with any amount of comfort. Even with the minimal motion in this show, most of the shots still manage to be poor drawings. Whilst I understand they are working to a high standard with the art of Yusuke Murata, the show never even manages to keep to its own character sheets. This is to be expected with 3 character designers who seem to be hired simply to draw promotional art and not actually work on the anime. The copious outsourcing does not help either and it likely hindered many aspects of the creative process here, due to a lack of time. The soundscape of the show is equally appalling. Rather than using the selection of great tracks created by Makoto Miyazaki, the anime cycles through them like Spotify free, playing anything, but always playing something. Never is the show comfortable to let a moment breathe, probably because then you would only be able to look at the drawings. In my opinion though, the voice acting though is the most under recognised flaw; I will use an example to illustrate this. Compare Dr Genus' speech in the teaser from 2024 to his speech at the start of episode three. Notice anything? Probably that the delivery is flatter and less impactful. Worse in every way. Admittedly, I normally watch my anime in dub, but even I can notice how much better the Japanese VAs really could be doing. Lines are delivered with all the care of an English Teacher, frantically trying to rush through a week of material in 5 minutes. This is not the fault of the VAs of course; it is simply another case of bad pacing.
Unfortunately, plenty of poor decisions are made by the creative team. Shinpei Nagai works on the storyboard of almost every single episode, practically storyboarding a whole season of anime by himself. It would be amazing, and is still commendable, it is just a shame the storyboards are mostly shit. Manga is not a storyboard for an anime, so the lack of any transitional shots between what are just poorly rendered manga panels makes for something which is normally just a jarring watch, but is sometimes boring, confusing, or both. The frustrating direction is by far the worst and most rudimentary thing this show does and it makes lots of it borderline unwatchable. I was having trouble and I already knew the general flow of each scene from the manga, so I dread to think of how it was for an anime-only. There are some highlights, the fight early in episode eight showing some interesting storyboarding. Equally there are scarce moments of fluid animation, many of which end up looking average at best by the standards of any high-quality production, but they are still nice to see here. It would be wrong of me to portray the season as without any of these highlights, which were surely important in the personal journeys of the artists that made them. The truth is, however, it does little for the show overall.
Hirose's composition initially seemed like a highlight at the start of the season, with some cool and impactful colour choices adding something interesting to look at. Unfortunately, one of the only highlights of the show is turned against it. Endless freeze frames drowned in sickly neon light cannot hide the poor drawings underneath. Thanks to the decaying quality of the show, these 'disco scenes' became a subject of mockery rather than a highlight. It just becomes an annoying gradient background and a childishly coloured character on top. The whole season has an amateurish appearance most of the time. The compositing does not combine the background art and the characters very well, and this was observable even in the opening: although it has some nice animation, it looks like a fan animation rather than a professional studio product. The CGI effects used for Orochi also look laughably bad. I was surprised to see them avoid trying to make a 3D model for the massive creature, though the reality is they just did not have the time.Sad, I guess. I felt sad watching it. I dropped this show after episode five. I did end up watching episodes 8 and 12 later, as well as some highlight sequences. I evaded episode six, which is seen by most as the worst one. In that sense, I really have given the show the best chance it is possible to give it. Still, this show is miserable to get through. There are a few, rare moments where you can almost see a fraction of what this show could have been. Nevertheless, there is just not really any joy to be had in this season.
END OF REVIEW
This is not just any anime. There has been plenty of outrage on my side of the internet about what a disaster this show is. I am no veteran to the anime community, but this show has prompted me to learn much more about anime production than I otherwise would have. It is the main reason I decided to take a much greater look at art than I have done in the past. The simple fact is it is impossible to separate art from the circumstances around its creation. It seems like Nagai was a hasty replacement director for a show which realistically did not have enough time to be good anyway. Given the lack of talent, the show simply did not have enough time to be good, or even alright. It is not a surprise, we could see from the preanimated trailers and lack of any communication. I did personally give JC Staff and the team the benefit of the doubt anyway. I am by no means an expert, but I can say One Punch Man 3 is actually a show that reflects poorly on JC Staff, and they have produced better in the past; the preceding season is an example of this.
JC Staff deserve some blame, especially producer Atsushi Fujishiro. I do understand a studio needs to take on anime to survive, and JC Staff clearly are not getting large budgets from their production committees given how many anime they take on. But four anime produced in the year prior to releasing an action heavy anime is just stupid, and dangerous to put your creatives through (only considering the production line responsible for OPM3). JC Staff are enablers of the production committee system. A studio of probably above average talent and artists, but they accept anything and everything, pumping out anime like a product. So, some of it is good, some of it is bad, occasionally it is awful.
Twitter has concluded Bandai Namco is to blame for this debacle. I would rather anonymous corporate suits take the blame than artists. The truth, for me, is that capitalism is the problem, as with everything. The transformation of art into a product for sale causes this entire process. For the committee, the final goal is not good art, it is money. You do not need good art to make money. One Punch Man has a committed fanbase which is not as mainstream as some Shonen IPs in Japan, despite the disproportionately big following abroad. So, the producers did the calculus and decided that they could make more money by producing something cheap, quick, and shit, instead of something time-consuming but beautiful. Beautiful art like Chainsaw Man's 2025 Movie exists despite the systems facilitating it. It is thanks to producers who do not to allow their staff to suffer under a mountain of endless anime. Individuals who happen to be in the right positions and have the right contacts.
I struggle to be truly angry at Bandai, though I hate them as I do all corporate companies. They are just playing a game. In the same way that for many on Twitter, the quality of the show is irrelevant. It is still possible to farm likes and views from the hate, so it still works well enough as a source of profit. It benefits them good or bad, so in many ways, they are actually quite similar to Bandai.
I am angry at this system. Angry for the animators and artists, whose dreams were stolen from them. This will happen more and more in this industry, as shows are polarised in quality. It just so happens that here, an IP I liked got the short end of the stick. If an idiot like me can see how poor this season is, imagine the artists who worked on it. Imagine all the mistakes, errors, and bad decisions they reviewed, but they had to bite their tongue and leave it in the work.
One Punch Man 3 Part 2 has been announced, and nobody is excited. Everyone seems terrified at the prospect of more.
It is annoying as a fan abroad how little is to be done. Given recent Japanese politics, it seems Japan are still committed to a slow march towards destroying themselves, which provides no hope of the animation industry getting any better. Not much is going to change until people in the country decide when they want to stop slowly killing themselves. These problems are everywhere though really. I wonder when we, as a species, decide to stop slowly killing ourselves. Until then, capitalism will continue to slowly suffocate everything you love.
I am young. I might live the 90 years or so for this all to be forgotten.
When even ONE and Murata are gone.
Deep in a bedroom. A room that hasn’t been left vacant in weeks, maybe months. One rich aristocrat flicks through the vintage media. This 'One Punch Man', its fanbase still persists after all this time. It was a disappointment. It never lived up to its potential. Perhaps... a remake is in order?
Revived by the very thing that destroyed it, One Punch Man 3.2, produced now by an American Studio in 120fps will be directly streamed into the nanochips resting inside the Occipital Lobes of the new youth, created by Elon Musk himself, miraculously kept alive and living in Antarctica, one of the only remaining habitable areas on Earth. And it will all be generated by AI. And everyone will love it. And it will be much better than the original. Because it looks cool. It looks flashy. It feels good.
One Punch Man 3 feels bad. It feels painful. And it is important because of that.
