The animation on one punch man season 1 and 2 were absolutely phenomenal, but the animation on season 3 wasn’t the absolute worst. The scenes where no one moves really do stand out, and they looked egregiously bad, but the combat scenes were okay. I admit, season 1 and 2 looked phenomenal and comparatively speaking 3’s combat sequences were awful in comparison, but it’s hardly unwatchable. It was okay.

With all the complaints I assumed the combat scenes would also be completely still, but the show didn’t completely drop the ball there too.

Compared to season 1 and 2 this looks terrible, but otherwise it compares fine with the average anime.

        np, it’s my favorite anime.

        While not as apparent in the first episode, it also has a really heartfelt interpersonal narrative underneath the absurd humor and over the top fights, which is the main thing I like about it.

            That’s a funny connection. I looked it up and the name is an abbreviation of “Nihon Sangyo” (Japanese Industries), just taking the first syllable of each word.
