[Spoilers] One-Punch Man Season 3 - Episode 12 Discussion

When Saitama punched Pochi and they played his OST with panning over the heroes I lost my shit. This was unintentionally the funniest moment.

At least we got King killing a monster with just fear. Saitama might beat anyone with one punch but King could do it with just a stare.

King Engine >>> Serious punch?

Also for part 2 announcement.

Thank fuck.

Blacklist the studio responsible for Season 3. They fucked this shit up bad.

How best to summerize this season....

THANK YOU,THAT WORKS!!!

Eeeh its alright, all i can hope now for is part 2 to have more time, so jc can pull a magical index

I feel sorry for all the harrassed staff. they clearly tried to make the best of this situation. I hope the next cour will look better though. I want OPM to thrive, and the next cour will have some very important scenes (to me, anyway)

Don't worry guys they are finally going to use all the budget next episode !!!

Again a disappointment, I thought that they would at least level up the animation for the very last fight, which involved Saitama, which involved his punch, but no, it was still shit, the only episode that had decent animation was the Flash one, which was very good, otherwise, my god what the hell happened. Zero hype for the next season, but I'm obligated to watch it since I'm reading the manga and it would be a waste not to watch it's adaptation, at least that is how I think about this.

Season 3 honestly felt like “one frame man,” with nearly 90% of the episodes relying on PPT-level animation. Episode 8 was the only genuinely good one, and it felt like the last episode they properly finished animating. The colouring was decent, but the fights were extremely underwhelming for a series built around action, easily a 4/10. The season was also full of inconsistencies like sudden character design changes, odd haircut swaps, and PNG-like assets, which clearly point to rushed production. While the fanservice was handled well and the opening and ending were genuinely good, none of that was enough to save the season. Overall, it felt poorly managed and disappointing, earning a 5/10, and I really hope Bandai never handles this series again.

Everyone here has officially survived the anime adaptation of One Punch Man's third season. Congratulations to everyone. I've been waiting a long time for the showdown between Orochi and Saitama, and it even thrilled me a bit. It ended so quickly, but that was to be expected. It seems like without Orochi and with Gyoro Gyoro having a tough time against Tatsumaki, the mysterious beings are quickly approaching their end, at least as a group. The episode ended abruptly after Orochi's defeat, and that left me a bit disoriented. I really wish there was a fourth season, but if they want to make one, they'd have to change practically everything. There's very little left to salvage from this third season (except for the opening and ending, which I liked).

10/10 best anime I've seen this year. "Animation doesn't matter" anyway.

At least they had the decency of featuring the caped bald guy in the anime about a caped bald guy, that's something.

This is probably the lamest ending in the industry after the Upotte anime adaptation, but without any of the fun to make up for it.

I seriously don’t get why they keep making me listen to the same OST every single time he’s on screen 😭

Tatsumaki is just top tier.

But yeah, 5/10 for the show.

it was decent, atleast we got the orochi fight

They used the old version of the fight
where is the lava bath scene

6 years for this and 10 after the first.... For such a popular series and a loyal fanbase... This truly sucked.

At least we got a decent final episode, which isnt saying much.

Plus side, it was good seeing Tornado in action finally.

My problem with this season wasn't the animation, it was the laughable lack of Saitama to the point this episode felt surreal... And what a shit way to end a season or half of a season!!

I don't need a good animación for enjoy something... But the direction was also very deficient along all the season

I think I would be okay with the poor animation if Saitama wasn't m.i.a. for most of the season

The thread "one punch man season 3 last episode" and its comments have been merged into this thread.

You can view the merged thread's body below:

Well I guess there's no use for me to complain since everyone has done that for me. I do have to confess that watching it in one go probably helped with the tolerance but it is really unfortunate to see the state of what OPM has become. I hope they decide to create a remake/fix version in the near future as a form of apology but I won't get my hopes up. It baffles me that this was accepted in Japan. I know in the end most anime studios do not care for opinions that are outside of Japan but surely the Japanese people aren't blind to seeing the quality being dropped?

Also I forgive the studio for not adding the retcons that I keep reading in the previous forum posts since there's no way to add that last minute. Why the heck are there even retcons to begin with? I thought the manga was based on a webcomic so how can the manga create retcons? That's a bit weird. I might reread this whole season in the manga to compare. Anyways, considering cour 2 won't be out until 2027, I assume that means they have more time since cour 2 usually are released way earlier.

When they slandering your goat but they lowkey right.

still love jc staff they have produced countless bangers (Toradora, Saiki, Hi Score Girl, 2.5d, Golden Time, Pet Girl, Maid Sama, Danmachi, ect.)

but this season of opm is just not it idk why the animation and story telling was so dissapointing to say the least they did good on s2.

The last episode was my favorite episode, and Saitama finally started fighting, and there was another exciting fight. I hope Cour 2 continues in the same exciting way like Cour 1 ends.
