Third Season of \"One-Punch Man\" Compared to PowerPoint Presentation - Sixth Episode Receives Lowest Ratings in Anime History
The new season of \"One-Punch Man\" by J.C. Staff has become a major disappointment for fans.
The third season of \"One-Punch Man\" is drawing a wave of sharp criticism from viewers. The sixth episode of the anime, released on November 16, has officially become the worst in history - its IMDb rating is only 1.4, while the average rating of the season after seven episodes is 3.2. At the same time, the third season has only 5% approval from viewers on Rotten Tomatoes.
Director Shinpē Nagai, even before the premiere, asked fans to \"be patient\" and warned that the new season would not be able to repeat the level of the debut season. He promised to improve the interaction between the 2D and 3D teams, but after a barrage of criticism and bullying, he left social networks, noting that his words were \"constantly distorted\" and that he wanted to protect the studio's employees.
Despite attempts to lower expectations in advance, viewers note that the third season is not only inferior to the first, but also looks weaker than the second, which was also attacked - but ultimately has a rating of 8.1 on IMDb. Fans compare the new episodes to a PowerPoint presentation and call the series an \"animated slideshow.\" Comments like:\"It seemed like there was nowhere to fall after the second season. We were wrong,\" are spreading on social networks, and there are increasing calls to reshoot the anime with a different studio or a new team.
For comparison, even \"Blue Lock,\" which viewers also often reproach for \"slideshow animation,\" has significantly higher scores: the lowest rating for the second episode of the second season is 6.1, and the average rating of the series consistently stays at 8.1.
However, this is not yet an absolute anti-record for the industry: there are projects such as the film \"Daniel the Wizard\" and the cartoon \"A Night in the Supermarket,\" which received 1.2 and 1.3 points on IMDb, respectively.
