Disappointment Over One-Punch Man Season 3’s Animation Quality Amidst Rushed Production Concerns

Fans expressed significant dissatisfaction with the highly anticipated third season of One-Punch Man, as J.C. Staff took over animation from Madhouse. After a six-year wait, high expectations accompanied the season’s return, but the first episode immediately drew strong criticism. Online communities, including social media and forums like Reddit, have been vocal in their critique of the new season. Points of concern include the animation quality, inconsistent colors, character poses, and notably, the excessive use of still frames, with six minutes of static scenes occurring within a twenty-minute episode. Many viewers perceive this as evidence of a rushed production with numerous issues. The long hiatus had led many to anticipate a high-quality return, but the initial reception demonstrates that the animation standard does not meet the expectations set by previous seasons’ iconic battles, such as Saitama’s fight against Boros. The overall sentiment among viewers is one of disappointment, and fans anticipate this episode will generate continued discussion.

Brief Summary	Saitama is a hero who only became a hero for fun. After three years of “special” training, though, he's become so strong that he's practically invincible.
