@Sexyjutsu This makes no sense. You don't make your opening episode shit on purpose. If anything, your first and final episodes should be the best one in terms of quality.
However, what I meant by "animation" in my awkward way is not animation per se, which seems much worse than that of season 1 and 2, but rather all the production as the whole. The direction, if such a term can be used for animation, a sound design, and the whole feel of it. The art is visibly different, and seems cheaper. The movements seem wooden and unnatural. I wasn't immersed at all in the episode.
Many people here talked about how bad the second season animation was. I'm not an anime specialist, but I didn't noticed much difference then. And my enjoyment from the season 2 wasn't lessened in any way. But this first episode has actually made me angry. I don't know what is it: is it really so bad, or maybe the fashion of animation has changed, or maybe is the overall decline of the quality in Japanese animation -- all I know it looks, sounds and feels terrible in comparison for previous seasons. And it's a shame, because we are talking about one of the best action manga there are. At least for me it is probably the top one.

| @Sanitizer_trio It's not about making it shit, people signed off on it obviously and it makes perfect sense if they don't see this episode as worthy of any significant time. I'm fine with this one being a slideshow as long as its good where it counts. |
| nice to see old faces! not a great adaptation yet, but we’ll see how it looks when the action kicks off this ep felt a bit rushed too, weirldy. like hardly any breaths between dialogue opening looked neat |

Itsukisayo said: The art style is better than the second season, but the animation is mediocre. Hopefully the fight scenes won't be too bad. agree about the art syle bang and co look like their season 1 selves! |
|
| so good to see tatsumaki animated tho 😍 oml |
|
| Man you guys talking about fight scenes will be better animated etc etc But look at the opening. That's even bad |
ryzxgum said: murata fucked up the manga with all those redraws and jc staff fucked it up with the slideshows, one punch man's fall off needs to be studied. this is one of the most underwhelming sequel return first episode i've had to sit through. there's romcom slice of life anime from this season like yano's ordinary days which has more animation than this shit. amen my guy. haven’t picked the manga back up in a while. some of the early/mid art was crazyyyy insane too |
|
| Christ... That was so fucking disappointing. There weren't any fight scenes in this episode and they couldn't bother to draw backgrounds for many of the shots? Like even if Murata himself didn't draw a background for a particular close up of a character talking why not take some liberty and do it yourself? Like, I can see they put effort into character art, but whatever impact the detail on that should have is diminished by the fact that the characters are often just standing in front of single color or often white backgrounds, or speed line backgrounds. It get tiresome when you see the same stuff over and over. Animation aside, the biggest issue for me were the transitions from scene to scene. And I don't know if I'm necessarily going to put the blame on the studio because its been years since I read the early part of this arc. So much jumping around abruptly. They go from Child Emperor talking to Metal Knight, then go to the infiltration group getting their battle suits, follow that up with a scene of Zombie Man in an alley somewhere, and then cut to Fubuki at Saitama's apartment? Like, I know the manga has a a lot of heroes and jumps around a lot, but that just felt awkward to experience in a span of three minutes, lol. |
| JC Staff does not disappoint of creating a disappointment. |

deg said: dang the storyboards and direction is mid, the animation especially the walking scene of garo on the monster hideout tunnel is so stiff too for example also did they forgot to change the clothes of fubuki for this season anyway at least the close up drawings are good but the actual animation is mid and here she is  Plain, poor and mediocre. That's what I feel when I see Mizuki destroyed like that. |
| Yattaaaa Speed o’ Sound Sonic is back! (⸝⸝> ω <⸝⸝) Also, been a while since I heard Mamoru Miyano's voice. Gosh, I miss it a lot. Promising intro for an upcoming war. Can't wait! 💚 |

@ultramb That's a massive insult to the manga, the manga is at least a few thousand times better.
(the web comic is better too)
(I guess Saitama's character is still assassinated, nice. Worst part of "s2", and s2 was extremely badly done in so many ways. But that was the most unbearable part. Seeing Saitama gutted completely.)

| @ZaratanCho true, that's one of the reasons i held back from reading the manga until season 3 comes out. if i read that my expectations would be far too high to the point i won't even give a 4 star rating to this. lol |

@GabiiNova what is this copium, even if jc gave us good animation for the action scenes (which let's be real, they probably won't) it still doesn't make up for the fact that every other scene is a powerpoint presentation lmao

There's no copium, I'm telling you the facts. And go animate One Punch Man yourself then if you're going to be that critical. Are saying you would've liked more minor movement when they are talking? this was a dialogue heavy episode setting up the next.
| lmao Well there's either a massive amount of copium or a severe lack of observation If you seriously believe that there needs to be action for characters and objects to be animated I don't know what to tell you other than just laugh. Most series that have decent animation also has character movement in dialogue scenes. Go watch literally any good drama or non-action scenes from well animated action series even for that matter if you really can't tell. Idle movement, clothing and hair animation, walking animations are all a thing. In this episode we mostly get still frames with a panning camera. The first episode of OPM3 isn't just poorly animated, it barely has any animation at all and skips as many shots as possible to not have to animate characters moving from point A to point B. Also, come on "animate it yourself" kinda cringe response, idk if you expect me to reply to that seriously or if just emotional outburst. JC accepted this series. They severely underdeliver, not just from what's expected by fans but from what is standard for a high profile action series. |

It's only a passing thing, this shadow. Even darkness must pass. A new day will come. And when the sun shines it will shine out the clearer. |
| Gotta be the first worst ep of a show that I can recall of in awhile. Makes me feel like i should just pick the manga back up but not as a compliment, rather just how underwhelming I expect this season might turn out to be. |
 |
| can't imagine too many people sticking after this episode. unfortunately bandai keeps being cheapskate, this show has no hope |
| Watching this after To Be Hero X is painful on a mental and physical level... what were they thinking? The art is good. The OP is still nice. But what is this almost non-existing animation? Wasn't there an inofficial "first episode of a new season should look phenomenal" rule? It feels like they started at negative budget or sth... wtf |
| I'm disappointed it doesn't flow that well as the previous 2 seasons. Too many cuts |
This episode reminded me of this clip from Invincible. |
Reply to MrCilleman
lets hope it gets better
| @MrCilleman I mean as long as he punches some people it will be fine. |
| Was not expecting amazing animation but it feels like they barely even tried. |
 |
| an anime which can be a rival to Blue Lock lol just images with slides, maybe animation in the next episode... but sad for waited 6 years for this |
