Decent prologue, but goodness gracious, I hate my memory. Or maybe it’s just because this season took so long to finally air. I only recognized the people in Saitama’s room, Sonic, Garou, Fubuki, Tatsumaki, and Atomic Samurai. I’d really appreciate it if someone could help me recall the rest and what they do.

Looks like the lack of animation is getting some fairly major publicity, hopefully this episode is the worst of it..

Hmm, I gotta say. not what I was expecting.

I remember watching season 2, and the hype around the entire series vanished due to the lack of consistent quality in animation. That, if you dont know, is because the series changed studios, why? Its been awhile, I dont wanna look it, and I dont wanna talk about why, but more so, what stuck out to me is the level of detail in this series went up! Even if their are more still shots and calmer moments resembling any CGDCT anime. either that or a power point. But the art style and some scenes in this season have a bit of depth to them, but you would have to be squinting to notice any of it. Regardless, the series is great, with or without beautiful animation, hell! the web comic looks like a 1st graders art project. So, just like season 2 *which was almost 7 years ago FUUUU* I stuck around, after battling my inner demon of not getting to consume some MADHOUSE eye candy, and watched it. J.C. staff is not some run of them mil slice of life animation studio. They got game... some times... WAIT THEY MADE Gokushufudou?? AND Gokushufudou part 2?? THERES A PART 2???? WTF HOW?

sigh, anyway, I will be here for the story, *even tho i cam for the animation* but cant teach an old dog new tricks, so I will swallow my expectations and hope that they at least pull some romance level animation, sesasly tho, they animated toradora, golden time, shana, zero no tsukaima and all of these have some insane level animation at some point in there series, and even when watching the calm scenes, they have their moments; of course those show are near and dear to my teenage hood heart so I will look the other way, when the fight scenes dont look as good... that might to harsh. Oh, they also made konosuba... actually there's a lot of fantasy and romance in their list.

ANYWHO, I am excited for the story, and I was very invested in it. Even tho i was complaining for paragraphs. I was presently surprised, there was a lot of care in some scenes, and some were a bit staying on screen a bit longer making it awkward but the topic made it abit bearable. I am looking forward to diving into it next week, with speculations and such, and because its a gag anime, im not going to look that far into it, maybe like garus character contracted by saitama's. soo moving forward I will make sure to empty my brain out on that topic. alright. I am done

I'm at disbelief at how many people are saying the animation is better than S2....did you guys watch S2 or just heard the "S2 bad memes" and are echoing them?
The art was better, the animation, on this first episode, was borderline nonexistant, it was 90% still frames, good looking ones, but still frames....I prefer S2's animation so far, at least it felt like JC was trying.

Not bad; am genuinely content with what we got. Could be better, one punch man deserves the best, but this is imho is serviceable. Not gonna complain- besides it's the actual action that should be judged. The flashy-flash fight is one of the first fights coming up iirc: there we can actually see if they put in some work. I personally also didn't mind season 2 at all, maybe I just have a low bar of expectations. But it certainly has been raised because the monster association arc really ups the ante. Fingers crossed.

It’s still early but for a premiere this didn’t leave a strong impression. While better than s2, the animation is still weird. But there wasn’t a fight scene so we’ll see next episode how J.C. Staff did this time. Overall, not much to say about this episode

Oh boy, so I finished watching the episode, and it's around 95% still frames and 5% animation, or maybe even less, and Garou's walking scene was plain ugly. Definitely not a good start, but I'm already expecting the worst, for my sake, I lowered my expectations months ago to not get disappointed.

A disappointing first episode, but I'll give them the benefit of the doubt and wait for an actual episode with action to judge this properly.

Almost perfect first episode getting us up to speed with the new season after we've been stuck in limbo for 6 years. They cut out a little bit but for the most part it pulls us back in.

If you've got a brain on you'll understand that this is a 1/12-13 part of a season.
Also the part with the least action in the season. So the simpletons will ingore all context, ignore the breathtakingly slick drawing and art in this episode. The simple will expect the director to be stupid and undisciplined enough to waste production time on panning 2.5D shots, flailing body parts meritlessly, inventing 'creative' or in other words superflous and wasteful movement to distract and entice the weaker ones amongst us.

They want animators wasting time, money and talent on mere dialogue ruining immersion for the sake of having 'clippable' moments for the dumb masses. There are a wealth of interesting and enthralling fights in that await us this season. They can not waste even a drop on stuff that isn't consequential, and what we even got to day was a true treat.

OPM isn't and will never be "Carried by Animation' the story, plot and humor. are exceptionally compelling, surpassing alot of the current crop of dumb consumers favourites especially that overrated one sitting on the TOP of MAL right now.

Don't listen to these sheep we're more than on the right track. There's even more beautiful moments to come.

Fubuki hair animation was the highlight for this episode. Decent character acting moments but nothing real crazy. It was fine for a non action episode. Compositing looks improved and more polished than the season 2 episodes.

Let's be honest, it was very obvious for anybody that has been following how badly JC staff has been screwing up the schedule for this season that it just wasn't gonna turn out to be good or anything special. I will say though that there has definitely been an improvement with the composition and the character designs (partially at least) and maybe they are saving most of the budget and effort for later episodes that are action-intensive though that might be just me coping. 🤷‍♂️

It was... ok. No action. No comedy. Just setting the stage for what's to come. For awhile I was thinking Saitama wasn't going to be in the episode at all, which would've sucked but perhaps been hilarious, too

I feel like it missed a couple opportunities for good gags. Saitama laying there on the floor, clearly scratching his butt or living his nose. Him also growing impatient with the leg shaking when blizzard was talking for awhile. But they opted not to. I guess it wasn't in the source material

The animation isn't a significant factor in my overall enjoyment of a show. You can see how in many scenes they employed time and cost saving techniques. I won't care as long as the story, dialogue, humor, and "one punches" are entertaining

6/10 first episode. It was fine

My expectation were low coming in yet JC Staff somehow still managed to disappoint. Couldn't even be bothered to animate Garou picking up a piece of paper. Bad animation is one thing, but putting this low level of effort into a finished product is unacceptable. Especially for a money maker like OPM. I've seen fan animations put together with more care. Absolute waste of a studio.

Y'all who says it's better animated than OPM S2, look at the episode side by side and see how ASS this episode is compared to that, sure the art style is much better but ONLY that.

The episode was really not much seen its the starting of S3, much of talking here and there.
But I gotta say, this kickstart is a bummer with its animation. I don't wanna complain much since its the start of the season, and we are all glad that we finally got what we waiting for after years. But omg it felt like a slideshow for the episode 1, same animation talking, no change up in movement of the mouth. Walking animation felt stiff and not alive.

I felt like if u ask sora v2 to animate they'll do a far better job. Overall a disappointment but let's not conclude thats the downfall for opm.

They are still talking about Garou,
Damn it, I've had enough

I don't care if he has childhood trauma or not,
I don't care about his growth or attitude change either

I just think any plot about Garou is boring,
The content of Garou should be END by the Season 2, and the Garou plot can only be paired with 4-6 episodes, no more!

i can understand if the animation is bad they did have a budget so it couldn't be helped I do wanna see the fight scenes tho I have faith that it will get better over the season and fans will love it hopefully that will prompt their sponsors to give them a bigger budget for season 4 hopefully finger's crossed

Love the opening. I like the artstyle and how detailed it is, but the movement is noticably stiff. I am satisfied for now, but when the fighting starts, then I can judge fairly.

What is wrong with One Punch animation.... Garou's walking out from that cell is so horrible...
Fubuki isn't looking as hot as her manga drawn by Yusuke... But I think they actually made her sister look more attractive than Fubuki in this animation....
They also animated D-os nicely... And WHY BANG ass is visible. LOL.
Huh? I don't think Child emperor hair look like that before... Why his hair suddenly change in season 3.... And from the OP scene.... Seems like he play an important part too in this 3rd season...

For the OP... I guess it's fine... JAM project sung for all One Punch is great~ But One Punch S1 OP>One Punch S2 OP>One punch S3 OP
The ED... It's Saitama again singing... Not a fan of that ED song...

Is it just me, or are others having a hard time adjusting to the new art style? in finding it hard to recognize some characters.
I'm glad one punch man is here and hyped for the series. I hope to get used to the animation so as to enjoy the show as I did the last two seasons.

Hero Association blah blah blah how about cut out the boring strategy meeting bullshit?

Close to no animation, but I guess it's fair to say they're not doing anything other than literally yapping for 15 minutes, so I'll let it slide for now. The only saving grace of this episode is is Fubuki and Tatsumaki. Make them major supporting characters already.
