Fans of One-Punch Man can surely agree that Season 2 was significantly worse in quality than Season 1. For Season 3, they wanted to give it another chance. However, after just 5 episodes, some viewers want to abandon the anime now.
What is the problem? Some fans had low expectations for Season 2. Because compared to Season 1, it struggled with many quality declines, including the undynamic fight scenes and inconsistent character designs. Nonetheless, One-Punch Man remains one of the most anticipated animes of the current season.
Even the director of Season 3 knew that One-Punch Man would not be as good as Season 1. This lowered the already low expectations even further.
The anime has been airing on Crunchyroll for a few weeks now. So viewers could check if the anime is something for them. However, the latest episode of the series has led some fans to want to abandon the anime now.
New Episode of One-Punch Man Leads Many Fans to Abandon
What is the problem? The current episode “Monster King” is the 5th episode of Season 3. The main highlight of the episode is that Garou meets powerful opponents in the hideout of the Monster Organization and awakens. There are several fights with monsters where Garou proves his skills.
However, the episode is not well received by fans. On Reddit, they list several reasons for this:
- The fights are said to be so unremarkable that it feels like two grandmas are fighting each other
- There are too many still frames and loops in the fights
- The sound is not impactful enough
- The smoke effects are said to be inappropriate
- The animators seem to have forgotten that there is a hole in the wall
This leads many viewers to want to abandon the anime at this point. Some users state that they are disappointed and that the manga is much better than the anime. Therefore, they do not wish to continue watching the anime.
There are also fans for whom the episode is the highlight of Season 3 and who want to continue watching the anime.
The heroes of One-Punch Man not only deal with Garou. There are numerous foes who pose a significant threat. What they are and what makes them so powerful can be seen in the following ranking on MeinMMO: The 7 strongest villains from One Punch Man that make Saitama sweat
