I Hope This Video Ages Horribly

Disappointment with One Punch Man Season 3 [00:00]

• The speaker expresses a strong premonition that One Punch Man season 3 will be a disappointment, hoping they are proven wrong.
• They describe shedding tears not from peak entertainment, but from witnessing "pee, actual waste."
• The speaker is a long-time fan, having watched weekly since season 1 and even reading the manga despite their usual preference for surprise in anime adaptations.

The Excellence of One Punch Man Season 1 [02:25]

• One Punch Man season 1 is lauded as one of the best seasons of anime ever produced.
• It's recommended as an entry point for newcomers to anime due to its excellent pacing, breathtaking animation, incredible fights, and strong character work.
• The season is described as extremely good and extraordinary.

Decline in Quality from Season 2 Onwards [02:58]

• Season 2 is characterized as a "wet fart," a significant disappointment with a noticeable decline in animation quality.
• The change in studio to JC Staff is cited as a primary reason for this drop.
• The animation in season 2 was no longer fluid, featured wonky CG, and was a huge step back, though the characters' strength from the source material helped.

Season 3's Even Worse Animation [03:45]

• Upon learning season 3 was with the same studio, JC Staff, the speaker was immediately saddened but tried to remain optimistic.
• However, after two episodes, they found season 3 to be even worse than season 2, which was previously dubbed "one frame man" by fans.
• Specific examples include two scenes in episode 2 that are still images with extremely slow panning for 20 seconds, making the speaker think their TV froze.

It is actually even worse. Season 2 got dubbed by the fans one frame man because there's so little animation. A lot of the times you're watching still images, basically just manga panels in a PowerPoint. Season 3 is even worse so far.

Inexcusable Treatment of the Property [04:32]

• The speaker finds the treatment of One Punch Man, such a beloved property, to be inexcusable and insulting.
• They highlight that less acclaimed or "garbage" manga properties receive beautiful anime adaptations, questioning why One Punch Man does not.
• An example of a poorly regarded premise receiving a breathtaking anime adaptation is given.

Studio Capability and Time Constraints [05:25]

• The speaker doesn't believe JC Staff is intentionally producing poor quality but rather lacks the capability to do One Punch Man justice.
• Conflicting information suggests that season 3 ended up with JC Staff after a prolonged period of back-and-forth, leaving them with insufficient time to produce high-quality work.
• The speaker dismisses this as an excuse, arguing for better scheduling or extended deadlines instead of releasing an undercooked product.

Blame: Studio or Investors? [07:40]

• The speaker is unsure if the anger should be directed at JC Staff or Bandai for not investing real money, suggesting they may be content with mediocrity due to the IP's popularity.
• It's possible the studio wasn't given enough time or resources by the IP holders.

Pessimism for Future Episodes [08:11]

• The speaker predicts that season 3 will only get worse based on the first two episodes, with fights relying on impact frames and camera pans rather than actual animation.
• They express a deep-seated hope that they are wrong and that the season will somehow improve dramatically.

Decade of Decline [09:00]

• A decade has passed since the acclaimed season 1, and only the third season has arrived, looking significantly worse.
• This decline is described as infuriating, with a hopeful but skeptical anticipation for episode thr
