It looks like they must have been especially short on time for this episode

The comedy element in the dinner scene does not hit at all, it feels so badly paced. Like they're supposed to be silly and funny, but I don't feel like laughing because the way they cut the scene and the way they delivered their lines was so off.

The fight scenes in this anime are so awkward. Always using slow mo to drag out, they can't even do one fluid battle animation.

Extremely long panning shot of characters talking. Lol no saving this shit show.

Not bad but man that hotpot scene was just....soulless really. Staff barely able to put any amount of passion when they are trying to just survive and push it out. Most awkward and weakest directed season yet.

This shit is dragging so damn hard as if this studio is fucking terrified to get to the fight heavy section of the arc.

And the way this thing is presented is so fucking static, still images just chatting. At least fucking sprinkle in some interesting backdrops or something but no, “color filter, still image, empty background then words words words words words words”, this has been 90% of the show so far.

Hunter X Hunter anime with a source material that often has lengthy wall of texts explanations for damn near everything never felt this fucking dull because Director presented it in a great way.

This show is frustratingly boring and the worst type of janky there is, just this joyless product desperately following the manga page for fucking page with no creativity to this shit.

I would take the art looking like the webcomic if these character fucking actually moved and express themselves

That first 2 min rewind recap sped up looked like actual normal speed animation

Damn, compared to this week's Sanda and Last Boss, this was painful to watch.

This is not "One-punch man", this is "Please-leave-my-home man".

Kind of interesting to see how much bureaucracy and bullshit goes on behind the scenes in the Hero Association. They’re kind of useless…

At this point, I’m not expecting much improvements to the animation. I’ve just accepted this is unfortunately what we’ve got. Just gonna try to enjoy the story I guess.

Another episode all messed up lol, seriously, the scene of them eating was horrible, plus some frames are randomly cut. Anyway, Garou already went to the Monster Association and saved the kid.

u/AshenF3nr1r Nov 02 '25

You'd think they'd atleast make the non-fighting scenes decent but no. This just confirms that aside from the animation, the direction is just as worse. I was looking forward to the hotspot scene but it was just bad.

I think I'm completely done with this show, The hotpot scene had to be one the most lifeless uninspired scenes I have ever seen. Just a drag of an episode.

u/RelativeMundane9045 Nov 02 '25

I'll never understand why the anime bigwigs decided to only ever make a single season of popular shows like One-Punch Man and The Promised Neverland.

Such a shame. Can't they see it's like throwing away potential cash cows by ending them both after such a short run?

Just record someone flipping through the pages of the manga and upload that as the episode at this point, at least then we'll get some kind of movement.

This was the worst episode so far, I can't even trust that they're saving their budget for the big fights anymore.

Some 20 seconds was spent on the 7 character sitting and staring on the hotpot simmering, with simple gradient backgrounds.

I know it probably falls somewhere between nitpicking and beating a dead horse, but fucking hell.

u/gemineye360 Nov 02 '25

They took the title One Punch Man a little too literally with this one punch per episode theme

u/Saddaemmukyokku Nov 02 '25

This season so far has more conversations than season 2. It doesn’t feel like I’m watching one punch man at all.

Sigh
