| Did they forget that they had to create an anime and not a manga ? The scenes had no transitions whatsoever in between them I felt like watching some sort of scenes independently created and just sewed together. Also the "clean" digital look is really starting to hurt my eyes, looks like a generic webtoon with thick lines When Garou liberate himself it's literally 3 frames then 3 frames. Also the person choosing colors need to be fired, this neon stuff |

| Garou and Orochi's moment isn't too bad from a plot perspective, and I thought the animation was average but not as bad as previously? Well it's still like a 5/10 episode in terms of adaptation but it's better than a total waste lol, I kinda want to see what's next now. |
 |
| Absolute trash. But think i understand what they're doing now, they're gonna get though all the more boring fights and setup and leave the good stuff like genos+tatsumaki, golden, garou vs saitama for next season. Either that or they've completely given up on this title. |
| It was painful to watch this episode, thinking how amazing it would have been with decent production... |
| Even if the animation was good, I dislike Garou, so this season is uninteresting to me. I hope some people are enjoying it. |
| I'm sure I speak for everyone when I say no one enjoys waiting 2+ years for a sequel, however I'd rather 4 if it guarantees quality production values. This is truly demoralizing to behold more so for the fact that when TBATE was getting dogged for similar reasons never in my wildest imaginations did I ever think OPM S3 would be in the same position and judging on IP cred top the disastrous showing of TBATE, scary times these. JUST WTF IS THIS MAN!!  |

@Zolo_124 So once we know something has bad production then we can't complain? Lol get those JC balls out of your mouth and format your brain bro.
| @sadflkerawenxcvx Yo I swear the readiness of people to defend the greedy and indefensible mega co-operations is wild work to me, people will legit be too far up their asses to the point of losing signal in there. |

I am soo done with this shit Plz stop airing this anime no one wants to see this shit every week.
| @Headpatts not true, I want, One Frame man is a good unintentional comedy haha |
| The episode was fire interms of watching this as anime only fan My god these events, How strong is Garou now😱 BUT I'm disappointed with the animation too many rough cuts in the episode and sometimes it feels unfinished OPM deserves way better |
| Push it to the limit...and Garou keeps growing. He's seriously such a captivating character. Episode was so entertaining again that it felt like 5 min. |
One Piece episode 914 & 915 & 1027 were a mistake and 957 brought the salvation - FMmatron |
| Terrible ep New fit for Garou ig. Tareo so damn annoying I swear, rich kid literally sold u to die and bro talm bout go back and save him. Sum nice drawings. Who tf is making this color choices to ruin every good panel, shit is straight ass? C'mon staff, we are not at a disco party. Wish Vann Oba didn't hype it that much, but ig his sequence was fine. So man problems were seen in this ep. For such a decisive ep that needed the resources, it definitely wasn't capitalized enough. Tho, the production is absolutely cooked and it hurts my soul to say that this is worse than s2. Why did lvl 9999 have to be adapted now, jc should have capitalized on OPM bc of it's bigger ip. 9999 shouldn't have gotten the action production line. (even tho i'm enjoying it). Man this animation is abysmal, despite the animators trying their best to put out their all, despite this terrible schedule given my Bandai. I will never forgive Bandai for this terrible management. This really had the potential to be the best ep for this opm szn. Idk why the rover fight was slightly better than the orochi fight, which is silly to think. But, it's true. I'm gonna drop this. They even removed sum important stuff to the plot, which I won't type here. Pacing was kinda fast for no reason and while I predicted that the Garou vs Orochi fight could be finished this ep, i didn't think it would be this bad. Tho, Imma watch clips of the next eps since their's no reason to expected something good, plus the content of the next ep is meh. This ep adapted the rest of ch "Because I'm a Monster", and finished "Rover/Pochi", and "Manhole". 5/10  |

 "Hard work is worthless for those that don’t believe in themselves" - Naruto Uzumaki I rate by enjoyment |
| DROP DROP DROP DROP! I will not tolerate this any longer. One Punch Man Season 3 is a holy disappointment. Season 2’s animation was never this broken, it was at least bearable. But this? This is a visual tragedy. Madhouse walked so this could crawl. |
 |
| Wow you guys just love to cry don't you lol. I thought you all dropped this yet you come back every week shocked that the animation is not good XD Anyways best episode of the season so far imo, I'm pleasantly suprised they even managed to somewhat animate Orochi with all his details. |
Paul said: The character visuals were so inconsistent, it's honestly amusing watching how often the art changes.    The second one actually reminded me of S1, shame they were just still frames. The anime is kinda stylish, the problem is the movement. And yah, thought the same when i saw that. Still, very disapointed with this season. And people complained about S2 lol S2 was Demon Slayer level Animation compared to this. I went in with open mind and hopes, but damn.... Still im enjoying, but each minute im like "This looks so bad". |
 |
| For some reason I don't see these people anymore. I wonder where did they go? At this point, I'm split between dropping and watching the remaining basically half of the season just out of sheer curiousity of what could possibly go even more wrong. Hopefully this is the last season, unless by some god damn miracle, it could get a proper producer and production team and actually make this good.  |
 |
| 50% shit animation 50% shit writing 100% shit episode Despite all the other shit in this episode, the low point for me was when Garou was afraid of the monster dog and told the kid they have to carefully retreat. WTF. Totally out of character. |
| If you haven't watched "Fantastic Children", don't talk about "best anime". Thank you. |
| How did we go from a multitude of background music for a few episodes to just Garou theme 5 times |
| So basically Garou is like Vegeta, he gets stronger every time he's near-death |
 |
| Say what you want about the direction, animation, or storyboarding, but compared to last week, this was a genuinely strong episode. Regardless of how uneven this season has been, ONE and Murata’s groundwork is so good that it’s almost impossible for episodes like this not to land. One thing that stood out right away: the decision to skip the opening. Up until last week, it felt like the adaptation was holding back, as if it didn’t want to move forward. But here, we finally see Garou pushing past every limit, start to finish. It’s almost like a training arc, except it’s brutal and destructive. On the direction side, I appreciated some of the stylistic touches. For example, Orochi’s transformation shown in that stark black-and-white cut, or the way Garou’s movement is emphasized when he accelerates to escape. They might sound minor when described, but those small choices actually got me hyped. They reminded me of that Beethoven episode from DanDaDan s2, which I think is just excellent work. I just wish they had cut down some of the Saitama scenes. Maybe they didn’t want to remove too much from the manga, but it felt like they were repeating the joke to the point where it almost looked like they had added new scenes just to run it again. |

This manga deserves better, it really does. I hope Bandai Namco and the production comittee know how utterly of a shit-headed money brained fucks they are after they realise how much this franchise could've carried them.
| Bandai is currently destroying my favourite fighting video game franchise and favorite anime franchise. Expressing how I feel about them would get me in trouble. The people still coping for jc staff need a brain examination to prevent futher stupidity and a slap to their senses. |
 |
| It just looks goofy, no hype whatsoever |
| I would say this was pretty good for JC Staff standards (I know the bar isn't high but I still want to give credit) the hate for this season is definitely overblown, its definitely a let-down compared to season 1 but to me this is leagues better than season 2 |
| Everyone keeps mentioning that one tweet hyping up the animation from one of the animators but I can't find it. Can anyone provide me some context please? |

| absolutely dogshit. i saw some people glazing the pv images that dropped a few days ago, but that turned out lame. then i saw some people meming how they'll make the ''it's hunting time'' panel to be all colorful with disco lights, and it turned out to be true lmaoo it's hilariously bad how they butchered it. and garou running looked like a child. |

| Woah, no CGI for Orochi moving? Gotta respect that. Episode looked really rough for moments but I still enjoyed it despite everything. Mainly because Garou is a super entertaining character and is easily carrying the whole arc so far. |
yeah lol that def true now I want another garou slide typa animation |
