One-Punch Man Season 3 Draws New Criticism as Industry Voices Defend J.C.Staff

Practitioners cite production-committee control as a key factor behind the season’s uneven animation.

Overview

  • A brief Episode 2 moment of Garou sliding down a hill went viral and intensified complaints about perceived low-quality animation.
  • Veteran animator Vincent Chansard argued the problems are more complex than a single studio’s work, pointing to production committees and harsh industry conditions.
  • Chansard also called out online harassment of staff, echoing director Shinpei Nagai’s request for fans to stop and his note that NDAs limit what he can address.
  • J.C.Staff has not issued a detailed public response to the specific animation criticisms, according to recent coverage.
  • Episode 3 is set for October 26, and while some viewers speculate resources could be reserved for later set pieces, others highlight isolated cuts they consider strong.
