I know, we are still in the beginning and the third episode was slightly better but...

Do we need a 4th season or do you want a cancelation... so that they can try again in the future (when the manga is done)?

Discuss!

doesnt really matter because the adaptions take so many years to come that most people that watched season 1 are not even aware that season 2 exists, let alone season 3, the same thing happened to bleach which is one of the big 3, most people who watched bleach back then possibly moved on from anime altogether and have no idea there is adaptpion of the final arc cause it came a decade later, and i bet most people who watch the final season have not watched the previous bleach cause its "too long" for them,

also the one punch man manga itself is just an adaption of the webcomic which is the original source, and it doesnt have an actual schedule like normal manga, its handled as a side-hobby with a chapter every now and then

I would not complain about a cancelation. Just reading the manga is fine for consuming this series in the optimal way. At this point, the anime experience is forever tainted

Just cancel it. No one wants another disaster. Let it die and come back when the manga’s done, with a real studio that actually gives a damn.

Only if it’s done by a different studio and overall just clean house with the current staff. If J.C Staff is a 4/10 studio, I wouldn’t even want it to be picked up by a 6/10 studio. It’d have to be a very good and accomplished studio for me at least.

Just don’t watch it if you don’t like it, those of us who enjoy it don’t need our entertainment ‘cancelled’ thanks. Fortunately it is not something the vocal minority of whiners can control.

Even if I want a season 3, it will probably come out in 7 years and we'll be criticizing the animation again.

I don't think J.C staff is so bad, i feel like they could be way better if they poured their whole heart and soul in this project So if there is a season 4 with them again, i just hope they out more effort in it.

Nope. I don't want S4 or any other OVA , movies, special etc if J.C.Staff does it, I will just continue reading manga only. And to be honest I am never gonna watch an action anime from J.C.Staff again in the future, only romance or maybe simple isekai. The fact that they butchered Fairy tail and opm some of my favorite action anime is enough for me to put J.C.Staff on the ''ban list'' for anything remotely requiring many frames to animate

Nope, I don't, and I'm a big OPM fan, but at this point, I don't give a shit about the anime, OPM S3 crashed, and it's dead to me, and I'd rather not have another season of this shit because this is clearly getting worse and worse with each season, and it's making me mad. This shit is being bastardized. I hate how this franchise is being handled.

I haven't even watched episode 3 yet because I'm not even in the mood. I'll probably watch it later, but fuck it.

Ironically Sunrise is the main producer for OPM, though they are now called "Bandai Namco Filmworks"

I want a season 4 because I want more Saitama

But at this rate, I would expect season 4 to be worse than season 3 which is worse than season 2 which is worse than season 1. So I might not even really enjoy season 4, but I still want it

I don't need it to be amazing. But I would hope it was given the time an human capital to at least make a good show. Season 3, so far, feels like employees doing the best they can in either a limited budget or rushed timeliness. It feels like it's only reaching maybe 40-50% of it's potential

Depends, do we want to see JC Staff or another studio try to please toxic fans with unreasonable standards? Realistically unless S3 makes some decent money I doubt we'll see more, it's not even a matter of "good studio" or "bad studio" who the heck would even wanna put effort & money on a project that would require the budget and animation on the level of Demon Slayer to please it's fans?


I'm not gonna praise JC Staff, but S3 is "fine" and realistically "top tier" animation wouldn't even make this season any better given it's plot and story is really mid.


If you think I'm wrong just look at the MAL reception, it's far worse than S2 despite the better animation. Look at all the people complaining about how bad this is and how much of a slideshow OPM S3 is. Then compare the animation here to ACTUAL slideshow flops like Blue Lock S2 or TBATE. It's no wonder no studio wants to work on OPM and funding sequels is such a pain.

As much as I hate it the company's behind these shows are generally pretty smart. They're pretty good about figuring out what works and what doesn't, ever wonder why we keep seeing so much low budget Isekai no one wants? Because it works, financially speaking it almost always makes money. Making something "good" doesn't mean making something successful, and sadly the world runs on success.

I have no clue what you’re talking abt but blame the people who don’t wanna fund or give time to an anime and blame these ungrateful fans too even if the animation isn’t great s3 has the best art style of opm yet at the end of the day everyone could go out their way to animate it themselves a lot of these people don’t even pay to watch anime so they should just appreciate the art instead of crying like grown babies

@Avzrywrld In other words you know that:: 1. Our complaints are legitimate, 2. Deep inside you also doubt the talent of the animators of the studio because the animators had more than enough years to do the work. But you don't want to admit it. We are not questioning mainly the animation quality, we are questioning the fact that this anime.... has.... no ... animation in most scenes. The titties in Nukitashi the Animation, Interspecies Reviewers and hentai from 20 years ago have more frames than OPM S3 and of course better animation quality. Sit down.

Too early to say, though a lot of people already made up their mind that this season will be horrible no matter what happens in the other 75% of the episodes.
I wanted a 3rd season after the presumably bad season 2 as well, so most likely will want a 4th as well, unless the story goes downhill with the animation.

If I'm gonna be reasonable, none studio aren't able to make opm S3(Arc Garou) perfectly, even ufotable, Mappa(one of the worst studio for making opm) and madhouse. Because Manga's Art Is Very Heavy and detailed.
Ufotable able to handle the animation and visuals, but couldn't handle the artstyle and designs of characters.
Jc stuff it's correct that is bad with animation and directing but it's good in handling design of characters and art style.

So all I'm saying if these two studio become partners and work on opm together, maybe we could see a perfect adaptaion of garou arc.

only if Ufotable work on animation
And jc stuff work on designs.

Ahhh yes it will have Demon Slayer quality of animation for the other 75%. What are you trying to achieve here by saying this ?

@Yubisoft Now you're just putting words in my mouth, obviously I never meant that.
I'm not trying to achieve anything, I just think a lot of people are already judging this adaption based on 25% of the show. And if you absolutely need good animation to enjoy something, then yes you won't enjoy this. But I can enjoy shows with bad animation and/or art is the story and characters are good.

Yes, but under a better production committee that respects quality/time and a studio that can truly handle it. Bones is a interesting choice, especially with how great that they are handling Gachiakuta with the mob staff iirc. Science Saru could do it, etc.

Just as long as Bandai Namco doesn't get a hold of S4 i would want one. They ruined Season 2 and 3 and gave a horrible reputation to J.C. Staff, the directors and animators. Otherwise just cancel everything

I think I want a cancellation. The good studios are too busy with other projects and bandai can't handle this IP. Murata does a great job drawing it and honestly I'm satisfied w/ the manga. The anime is just disrespectful to the IP. Get rid of it all together. Season 1 was enough. Get people interested enough to pick up the manga. That's all we need.

If MAPPA had handled One Punch Man, the anime would have elevated the manga in the same way JJK did. The same is true if A1 Pictures had produced the series as good as Solo Leveling or Mashle. Madhouse lived up to the source material, and it's clear that Bones Movie would have had some truly memorable moments that make you forget its everyday flaws. The problem is that JC Staff is in charge, and the studio treated One Punch Man and even Fairy Tail 100 as if they were working on comedy anime like Konosuba or Food Wars! If there are still people who encourage them in this mediocrity, well, they'll continue to ignore the strengths of these works and deliver this kind of shoddy work indefinitely. It's not a flaw to ask for the quality of a product to be improved... Especially if that product is based on source material that already had an insane level of quality (the manga).
