It's pretty irrelevant. While a weaker sequel did weaken shows like Yakusoku no Neverland, but similarly other shows received weaker seasons and no one cared about it like in the case of JJK and SnK.
So the quality doesn't matter to the fan base or its ability to spread.

OPM fan base is mostly manga and webcomic followers.
The studio may have ruined the anime and it won't be getting anymore seasons. But it won't really impact the printed media.

Honestly can everyone just stop going on about One Punch Man being “ruined”. So the animation is weaker compared to previous seasons… so what? Doesn’t mean we love the show any less or that it won’t improve. Let’s stop all the negativity, it’s not healthy

Everyone is up to blame, Bandai Namco, J.C Staff and the director. Bandai Namco is fucking soulless cash grabbing beast, J.C Staff deserve hate for taking OPM again when they screwed up with season 2&butchering this series now and director for taking lead of something he is clearly not able to do properly. I'm not 100% if OPM anime is cooked forever but it took an enormous blow and it probably never recover from shitty season 3. I think it is better to let it die with at least some dignity and stop this atrocity which season 3 is.

There's one thing I'd like to focus on: although OPM has a good following, it can't be considered a stellar success like other titles like AOT or JJK.
We know that anime is usually the medium that allows many titles to achieve global success, but generally, anime should be well-made and shouldn't make you wait six years between seasons.
I'd like to give two examples of this: Tokyo Ghoul and Nanatsu no taizai. We know that both have excellent fan followings, just as we know that due to disastrous productions, this prevented them from achieving stellar success like AOT or JJK, due to the anime ruining their reputation for a large part of the fandom. I think the same thing will happen to OPM as well. There was a lot of anticipation for this third season, but once it's over, no one will care about the anime anymore, causing it to remain anchored to its moderate success instead of having allowed a stellar success like the titles mentioned above.

if they make you wait 6 years it should be like season 1 at minimum, i have seen creators on YouTube make better animations in 1 day than season 3 one frame man

MAPPA totally ruined AOT for me, I dropped it after 9 years. I’m still watching OPM. So no, JC hasn’t ruined it for me. The writing still may get me to drop it but it’s still too early. JC bids on everything so you have to deal with them. Finally, just drop it if JC bugs you so much 🤣

@NeoSchizo *You liked it better.
It was much more inconsistent. Just rewatch the Mahoraga fight, even in the Blu-ray release where it should have been fixed, his size keeps changing from scene to scene. Originally it twice of the size of Itadori so around 3.5 meters. But when he was holding a train or something like that, his head was the size of the door, which would indicate that his head was 2+ meters. In the next scene where Mahoraga and Sukuna is having a fist fight, he's small again.

Crazy how you call AoT a "stellar success" when Wit completely ruined it by dropping it.

As for OPM and your question, it depends. If JC Staff or another studio animates the space shit, people will come flocking back to it suddenly acting like they were fans of it the whole time.

For me mappa ruined aot and no one care about it. Even part 3 with 2 years time just for making 2 ep 1h, mappa couldn't made it satisfying. I know it's because its bias childish fans.

And now jc stuff.
I aware that jc staff is good studio, I have watched prison school and everything were amazing
Animation, ost, directing, specially quality of drawing.

But for opm s3 they made a mistake. They shouldn't accepted it in first place, when they couldn't make it perfectly.

It's exactly same for mappa.
When They can't make aot p1 nicely in 8 months, then they shouldn't have accepted it.
Wit have made s3 p2 in 8 months, but wit made it successfully with around 3times less than animators.

That is example of good studio and example of talented stuff.

What's so funny is people so upset J.C even gracing fans with anything when no one in Japan seemed to want to make a season 2 let alone 3 when fans wanted more anime content
There really isn't any fundamental difference between season 1 and then 2 & 3 with the exception that J.C isn't animating it as well as what MadHouse/Bones and then the fact the author tried do a more structured arc rather than is boring bland one trick joke of Saitama pretending to get his ass kicked to then just auto kill some fodder trash 1 dimensional monster

What really ruined the perception of OPM is the fact it wasn't even that good to begin with but people loved it because they saw the MadHouse logo and thought everything should be well animated like that despite mid characters, story and tension along with bland comedy that isn't really funny and very predictable too

@omana An animator who worked on the S2 claimed that they released an episode being 30% down. Or you watch the Mahoraga-Sukuna fight and Mahoraga has different size in every scene. S2 was an objectively worse season than S1. S1 was significantly more consistent, it had better writing, better direction etc.
You can hardly find anything that worked better in S2 than in S1.

@Marutiraya That's just cause mappa got to adapt the better part of the story and also cause it was in theatres, but visually and musically, it was dogshit compared to Wit's work, as people in this very thread have agreed.

@Ravex1 AOT Final Season from MAPPA has a rating above 8.70, so clearly it isn't dogshit since people enjoyed it. MAPPA delivered with AOT Final Season pretty well, and I have no complaints there.

I would understand if you say this season of OPM is dogshit so far, because it is, but calling AOT Final Season dogshit is just bizarre.

@Ravex1 That's simply wrong. The story alone won't carry the whole franchise; it needs great animation, direction, and soundtrack, which AOT Final Season delivered, and hence, the rating is above 8.70 because people enjoyed it, so your whole argument about being "dogshit because the people around here agreed to it" is just wrong. That's just your opinion and the opinion of a small minority around here.

AOT is a big franchise, guess what would happen if MAPPA provided the same shitty treatment as OPM S3 is providing so far? People would be shitting on it the same way we are shitting on OPM S3.

I agree that WIT did a better job, but MAPPA delivered too, to a lesser extent, and it was also enjoyable; calling it "dogshit" is just your opinion, and the rating speaks for itself.

@Ravex1 your original post said Aot was not a success after wit dropped it, which is OBJECTIVELY false,final season p1 was the most watched show of the year and the manga sales made 50m copies since the start of final season which is a huge success.

Everything you barked in your post is just subjective, nothing was backed by facts.

again a subjective take which is just your opinion which isn't relevant to the earlier point you made lol. Many people including me agree s3p2 was the pinnacle of the franchise even though final season was good.

You keep dick riding wit studio when in reality wit CGI was dogshit,in fact they didn't even have CGI department and all their CGI was straight up bad, just go and watch collosal titan CGI in s2 . Even S1 of aot had production issues and lot of mistakes were fixed in blue ray version.
If wit had done final season it would have looked worse than mappa,they knew it that's why they dropped the show.

I do wonder how popular this could have been if it got a decent anime adaption like other big shounen titles. Obviously S1 levels could not be sustained, but I remember how huge it was even outside of usual anime fans at the time. They could have used that momentum more.

The story itself is not that good, it needs sasuga animation to work IMO. Or atleast if it wants mass appeal..

Atleast the manga looks amazing and I only found out because the wait for the anime was so long I had to switch, so.. thx I guess? Actually the first manga I have read fully since then, now that I think about it.

Also still better than Mappa getting their hands on it, cant stay their artstyle.

@Marutiraya Look it pal, if you can admit that the show looks different in the final seasons, you have to admit it that the show was ruined. Because why should it look different?

And there's no proof the art style would look any different if Wit did it which is mainly what matters just cause they would've been pressed for time, you know, like they were in s3p2.
