Horrible, poorly drawn, poorly animated, poorly directed. Simply an insult to the fans.

One Punch Man may be disappointing some people in terms of animation (I personally think it's just ok) but it does have its moments. This was a slow episode showing us how Garou evolves through pain and being attacked again and again. Also Lord Orochi showed and I can already tell he's gonn be defeated really easily.

This episode has enough frames to pass as animation. That was the best case scenario i could envision after episode 1 dropped and the png-festival ensued.


Can't understand why it triggered the fandom - even those defending the atrocious ppt festival- since it finally got movement in it. But at least they woke up from their delusions.

This is my favourite episode of the season yet, which isn't telling much, but still, I love the story, the animation is what drags it down. I really hope we get a season 4 to see Cosmic Garou, but I want them to not ruin iconic panels with that blue filter and for thing to actually move, not be a loop or a png. Orochi looks cool asf, I can't imagine how much better it would be if the fight was animated betger.

Budget increase confirmed, as i expected. we're back up to season 2 quality here, and if it stays this way, the season may not be a bust in the end.

The animation here is a step up from the previous episodes but that isn't saying much because they barely had animation, this episode was still disappointing. The animator on Twitter was hyping this episode up so I expected better and sadly, this is the best we will get in the whole season, which is sad. It failed to deliver.

And wow, not only was I disappointed with the animation as usual, a few seconds of good animation doesn't make up for the entire slop this season has been so far, this season simply suck with animation but let's put this one aside, they are even spamming Garou's OST in this episode like crazy, how many times did they inserted Garou's OST here? like 5 times I think, I was getting bored with the OST. How do you insert the same OST in the same episode this many times? this is the result of a bad director as well since a good director wouldn't allow bullshit like this, and if that's not the director's fault, then whoever is inserting the OST has absolutely no idea what they are doing with this anime.

My patience is running thin with this season, I'm so bored with it. And since I'm here, I may as well create a review just to complain about this crappy season.

Ooof right back to garbage animation, the Garou show sucks. Having an MC who can beat the enemy in 5 seconds so you make him sit on his ass and follow a bunch of other characters is really lame. And will someone kill this whiny kid already. How is he still alive?

Surprisingly, I found the animation of this episode better than the usual. Maybe it's just my impression though.
The pacing for the episode was also better, but the anime still feels choppy. They just don't know how to present the dialogue, it's just one cut to the other, like we're reading manga panels (but this is not a manga).

The story on the other hand is making less and less sense. Like, so now Garou can withstand all those attacks because he's becoming a monster? For what reason? I thought that maybe he broke his limiter (like Saitama did, a concept they randomly introduced 2 episode ago), but apparentaly that's not it. So Garou is just taking all those attacks, and still continues like it's nothing. I wasn't expecting for the story to focus so much on him honestly.

So I guess we'll have to wait until next week to see how Garou is dealing with that big monster that was once human.

The biggest reason for my complete dissatisfaction with this season is the disregard for animation; not only that, the choice of soundtrack and scene composition is awful. The art direction is bad, the animation is bad, the soundtrack is bad, there are even scenes where they forget details during the animation. It's sad what they're doing to the work. It's much better to read the manga and watch fan animations online.

Even worse than all prior episodes in animation. What is the point of releasing a powerpoint presentation to the masses when a manga already exists.

This should be the bare minimun of every episode. This rate ignores the fact that it's an important fight, otherwise it would be lower, because it SHOULD be better

I don't see the hate here the animation was more than fine but the way they have paced this season is strange to me. I do agree in general this isn't a good season but the animation isn't the worst ever. It's very subpar t best and poor at worst.
I had to change this because some loser couldn't make an actual argument. So....yeah I hope you guys like the new sig.

Here is the reason, but the incompetent staff didn't bother with this scene for some reason. S2 is nowhere near as bad as S3 and it's not only about animation.
I used spoiler tag to keep the comment cleaner.

Coming to watch this shit right after Dandadan is really something. The jarring transition from a series made with love to one that's just going through the motions is genuinely depressing.

Garo awakening moment, he's in his rawest form yet, vulnerable but never give up. I almost want to thank Monster Association for grooming him to be this hot.

This episode is a rough diamond, a lot of cost-cutting techniques have been used, but at its core it's still a diamond. It needs to be polish here and there. But I'm already amazed at what JC Staff can do with only 10% of the budget compare to other big studios. Truly the master of efficiency. Truly the craziest decision to take on the most demanding job with so little reward and so many risks.

Oh, and the soundtrack in this episode is very strong, and the transition is much more smoother than previous episode that I complained. It's easily Miyazaki Makoto's best work yet.

I'm still cautious about the end result but I'm much more hopeful now. Next week can't come soon enough.

for what?
you dont need to know how to make bread to tell its not tasty.
you dont need to be filmmaker to tell movie is shit.
you dont need to be football player to see that team is not good.
understand?
no one cares about production problems, we care about result.
and we pay for results.
if you buy bread an it will be not cooked enoug, you eat it with taste? beacause you need to consider bakery problems that they dont have time to cook bread long enough?
and you know what will happen if there is more people thinking like you?
lets say my bread example.
bakary will start to sell only undercooked bread because its faster (cheaper) and people are willing to eat it and pay the same price.
simple enough to understand for you?
mayby i,ll make picturers

That is different, going with your example here.

when you know the circumstances behind the making of the bad bread, you either don’t go in the first place.

Sure I agree saying that this is bad and all, but will I harras them and say the bread is trash to the bakers who made it ? They will agree with me and be like “man I get you, even I wouldn’t eat that shit. We can do much better.” But regardless, they will pissed off at the trash talking. You know why ? Because they regardless of the result they worked hard and with just a bit more time, they would have made something even better.

So what I would do is shit talk the boss here who did nothing and sits his ass off giving orders to the bakers who made the bad bread.

I understand why people are disappointed, but regardless at least understand that the people who made this are humans. If you wanna be insufferable. Then don’t any of you dare say shit like “mappa treats their animators badly.” Stay on that side.
@Zolo_124 I agree, people shouldn't comment negatively on the studio and the animators, even the director already warned them to not expect too high. It feels so sad that many people commented negatively instead of praising how the animators were struggled. They didn't have enough time to properly animated the season 3. The artstyle in season 3 much better than season 2, but the animation frame is ironically dropped. It's like a choice whether more frames but lower artstyle quality or vice versa. Most people don't know how hard to make an animation. To be honest, episode 5 was so much better than the last episodes. Hope that episode 6 will get better. I don't care if people calling it cope, there's nothing wrong from hoping even with very low expectation.

Several seconds of rather okayish animation during action sequences can't make a supposedly action-heavy can't save the whole episode. Especially when even those "good moments" presented similar level of mediocrity in terms of direction and even art consistency (Garou seemed to have several different face models, lol). I admit I felt bored throughout the whole episode. No humor, no decent action scenes... Meh. I preferred previous episodes. They were far from perfect, but at least they had more funny scenes that could keep me entertained and even ignore those slideshow-esque bits, lol.

Im actually interested in where this goes, feels like we are being too harsh imo. Its like MF Ghost, we werent going to get it, got it, now complaining about it cause its not perfect.

Edit - Ik this isnt their best work and im not a manga reader but we should be grateful we even got this in the first place.
