One Punch Man Season 3 Episode 1 + OP/ED (Early Access)

I'm Speechless. Here is Season 3 I guess! .....

Comments

Oh my, this is an abomination. It's insane that this could be allowed to happen to such a well regarded series. It's not even just the lack of animation, the actual art looks like ass too imo. Throw a dart at a random show in Crunchyroll's library and there's a 90% chance it looks better than this on every level. I don't understaaaaand.

I am really HOPING ep 2 will be better this was my first time watching this ep too 😭

niyaris

i couldn't even get past the first 5 mins

Izuku_Midoriya

did we just watch a colored manga what the helly

hoobity

I miss the first season animation so much.

EHelström

But to be completely fair; this quality should have been released like 6 months max after season 2. There is 0 reason for the season to take this long and put this quality out.

Ancientswords

I mean, personally I think they're capturing the heart of the manga quite well, maybe they stay too close to the source material and are afraid to take liberties with animating it which is why it feels like manga panels literally being shown haha. I can enjoy this, Blue lock kind of did the same and I liked that as well. But I know many people do not like this style of anime, so idk why they choose for this when popular opinion will be against them.

Ancientswords

Yeah definitely drop this for now and maybe watch some Renegade Immortal if I might say 😅😂😂

Heavenly Demonic Emperor

And thus, the modern tragedy strikes yet again in entertainment. Movies, games, anime. Nothing is safe. Pumping out trash with well known IP to make a quick buck.

Lazy_Gamer

if trash encounters a mild gust of wind, it will move more than this episode's images

So, we can just agree to switch from One Punch Man over to Samurai Champloo and never speak of this again. (I'm just joking... but not really.)

Paul Shuster

I just learned that they were being rushed and apparently this season has been worked on for 6-7 months. Not 6 years. Also, the opening and outro has more animation than the entire episode 😭 I hope after the feedback they could delay the episode and work on it more 😭 Who’s rushing them is my question?!

CallMeTony

I too was wondering why they keep hoeing One Punch Man like this. Did the mangaka piss someone off or something? Idk.

Ren Lichtfoot

Never underestimate the power of lazy money grubbers.

DarkStar1915

That was arze. That's sixth rate isekai animation, or Shield Hero Season 3. I'm fuming right now.

DarkStar1915

Maybe just drop this and watch something else for now. You can probably finish a short anime by the time this finishes airing, and then determine whether it's worth watching or not. I am trying to watch it but the animation is so bad that it's constantly distracting me away from the dialogue and what's happening. If the dialogue is not important and only fight scenes are necessary, so be it; but then it doesn't justify putting out a whole episode of dialogue...

Hairy Potter

Yeah I tried to come in with an open mind, but this is just beyond lazy and phoned in. Thank god at least Mob Psycho 100 got a great adaptation. One-Punch Man deserves so much better.

KAMIL

I am Waiting for the first comment to age like milk And to be honest it was not a good episode My critical eye is just apparently not good because if so many people say it is shit I am going to put my trust in them

Isac christensen

As a big TBHX fan I feel bad for those who were excited for OPM to return tho lol

S

Not interested im not watching it, never seen it but the amount of people that have watched it said its literal trash im not even wasting my time.

Ado-san

on the bright side maybe now we can ditch One Punch Man s3 and replace it with the mangaka's BETTER story—Mob Psycho 100 <3

zontzooit

You should just drop the show and watch To Be Hero X instead.

CaptainCameron

Pray they saved all their money for the big fight that everyone is waiting for

Jordan

ive been waiting my whole life for this. depending on how far they end up getting in this season, i think there is still plenty of hope. from what i understand about this season, there is no budget to waste on talking. i guess we'll see tho!

spectral.mozzarella

Here's a side by side comparison to the manga... and that's a still-image shot in the anime with almost 0 movement, so there's no excuse for it to look THAT shitty. FFS please give the animating rights back the Madhouse. https://i.imgur.com/PXx7VCb.jpeg

Ziggy Stardust

Look on the bright side, it can’t really get worse from here… right?😢

Josh Blackwell

This animation is so beyond disappointing. As a manga reader, they completely rushed/no-showed several major entrances and introductions. This was clearly made by a team that has no love for the source material, and it's pathetically rushed. Even the monster association intro had multiple copy/paste background frames (check Reddit for breakdowns) that are frankly embarrassing in 2025.

ROFL

Jessica McCann

😭🤧🙏🏻😩

Jessica McCann

It’s absolutely not. Please look at it against with a more critical eye.

Jessica McCann

Nah bro experience the torture with us all lol

Jessica McCann

It definitely isn’t just as bad you gotta look again 😅 and look into the different ways they’re using AI to create this season. Maybe you’re just trying to ragebait but I’m not throwing around unjust hate and judgement. Being me your receipts. Also I am waiting to see what happens but this is such a low bar it’s embarrassing. OPM deserves better.

Jessica McCann

yes the animation is bad, but i will wait until the first fight scene before I make my judgement.. I do think the OPM hate is unjustified if you can glaze naruto shippuuden since the animation is equally just as BAD xdd

Anders Grønborg

BRUH low budget hentai porns have more movement than this WTF?!

John Urbina

God dammit! I really like this anime but it seems we need to drop it one off... Its so awkward to watch... WTF have they have done?!

John Urbina

MHA is done, so let Studio Bones pick this back up 😭😭😭

ssgutd

Eh... you could free us from this torture (this OPM ep) by given us a OP ep reaction or MHA S7 ep reaction... just saying

Caio Cezar da Silva

when referring back to the manga, yes they just colored directly the manga and make some movement

MUHAMMAD ILYAS

This animation is literally just like the past 2 seasons. I never seen so much criticism

Willy G

comment section is sending me lol Guess I'll skip this for now.

Ren Lichtfoot

even the ending has 0 animation :CCCC

YrrC

One Frame Man/One Slide Show Man/ One Frozen Man is back 🔥😭💀🤦🏻‍♂️

Gustavo Marques da Silva

This is probably the biggest time paradox how can 25 min feel like 3 h without flexie i think, i would have lost a year of my lifespan.

Franzsurvive

At this point it probably isn’t going to be well animated. I’m hoping it’s a bluelock season 2 case where they save the animation for the finale. That’s the best I can hope for. Cause it seems like they’re doing a similar thing they did where they zoom in on a specific aspect to some animation. For this it’s the faces and for Bluelock it was zooming in on the feet

Adam Lawson

In all fairness they might actually save all the animation for the finale. Bluelock season 2 was animated like ass, then the final episode was movie like quality

Adam Lawson

If this is the best they're going to put in then this might actually end the show after season 3

Truth

Flexie is more animated in this video than all the characters of this episode combined

SJ

"Don't worry, they're saving the budget for the fights." "Trust me, this fight just wasn't important enough, just wait for the big one next week." "Omg, I told you, those 60 seconds of animation was worth waiting out 12 eps of still frames, awkward cuts, and literal PNGs being dragged across the screen!" I feel like I've been here before...

Jwong

felt like they had scanned a manhwa and given it to AI for it to add some animation to the still images

Ari

I really don’t think it was bad. OPM never had very much animation outside of fights anyway. I even went back to watch some episodes from season 1 and it was pretty much the same. Of course, if the fights have no animation then I’ll eat these words but I don’t think this episode was as bad as it’s been made out to be

Bgroo

I almost refuse to believe that an actual studio put this out. 100% agree about it being insulting to fans, Flexie. Between the jarring white backgrounds, the frame loops for almost everything happening in the show, to that ridiculous walking in place loop where they just move the still background to fake the movement. That was very difficult to get through.

The Card

I'm curious what they'll give us next week... maybe they just struggled A LOT with episode 1 ... lets see guys.

Jessica McCann

Guys I'm gonna be honest - I was really shocked watching this and if you DO make it to the end, I do explain why I find this insulting to all OPM fans. I look at everything with a loving, critical eye and this just isn't it. This isn't what the show deserves. This isn't anime.

Jessica McCann

watching your reaction is my second time watching the ep and I think one of the biggest things that make the bad animation so noticeable is the panning and zooming that is used to try and add movement when there is none. every scene is panning or zooming on a still image with bad mouth flaps. Also the entire scene with Atomic Samurai was ROUGH it was like someone was moving a cut out image back and forth to try and mimic walking. boy oh boy

William Roberts

One Talk Man. I guess they blew the animation budget on the fights...

Jacob Z Mulan

if you told me this was a fan made episode, i think i would believe you. maybe a fan just learning how to animate and trying not to do anything extra haha

Travis Pike

Did you listen to the points I made as to why?

Jessica McCann

OUCH! LOL But true... yikes

Jessica McCann

This was so funny on stream, the amount of times you paused in disbelief 🤣 The episode was so disappointing though. I only finished watching S2 a couple hours before S3 dropped - seeing the quality drop so hard was painful.

Mitch

It did not bother me at all

Isac christensen

I felt your editor’s pain… When Looney Tunes has better animation…

S

After this, Toei, I'll never complain about a rough anime episode again! I'm so grateful for the effort put into these other series...cuz YIKES!

Irvin Mugo

I like the Episode and I'm looking forward to the next episodes. I don't know why you all don't like it, but I really enjoyed it.

Kev

This was trash.

Raunak Xrestha

6 years. It’s been 6 years. 😩
