One Punch Man season 3 episode 3 might be an improvement from episode 1, but only the slightest bit. As opposed to the bland episode 1, episode 3 at least had a bit of action in it, but other than that, it’s still hard to praise the anime.
Episode 3 confirmed to fans that the animation is not going to get better, no matter what. The expectations are at an all-time low since the season’s debut, which might be the reason why episode 3’s mediocre performance has given fans a glimmer of hope.
One Punch Man Season 3 Episode 3 Has a Slight Edge Over Episode 1
One Punch Man season 3 episode 3’s only redeeming quality was the battle between Royal Ripper, Insect Man, against Garou. Of course, it is nowhere near the monstrous standards set by season 1, but at least it’s better than what episodes 1 and 2 served (which is a frustrating void).
The animation in episode 3 is still average, and the battles featured too many repetitive moves. It seems like the third season has become entirely incapable of depicting speedy movements and the impacts of hits. But at least it did not resort to spending the entire episode with nothing worthwhile, like in episode 1.
However, the biggest downfall of the season continues, which is the slideshow-like animation. Just like episode 1, episode 3 shows characters having monotonous conversations, which can bore viewers to death. The worst part is that these conversations are not even animated; instead, the anime pans into still images of heroes and villains to take up the time.
Even a Mid Episode Seems Great After the Past Disasters
One Punch Man season 3 episode 3 was not impressive under any circumstances, but still, many fans can be found praising it. The reason? Episodes 1 and 2 have set the standards underground; so much so that even the meagre effort in episode 3 might feel like an upgrade. Fans are likely just excited to see characters being capable of moving, this time around.
The direction is still terrible, and the studio is doing everything possible in its power to make sure it can get away with doing as little as possible. Unfortunately, the lazy animation has crossed too many boundaries, and even reading the manga is a better option at this point. Yusuke Murata’s illustrations are more filled with life than this slideshow of a season.
The entire Garou battle in episode 3 encompassed just a minute or two, and the rest of the episode was just as bad as episode 1. The action, which is supposed to be the highlight of the anime, has been disastrous so far. Still, if the studio even delivers one okay-ish battle per episode, fans would consider it a win at this point.
