ONE PUNCH MAN Season 3's Divisive New Trailer Was Made by Just One Animator
Since the latest One-Punch Man Season 3 trailer was released, social media has been flooded by fans with criticism, with many calling the animation lackluster and raising concerns about the quality of the upcoming season. Now, a new revelation has only added fuel to the fire as the entire promotional video was animated by a single person.Animator Kazunori Ozawa confirmed this on X, saying: "I was asked to make a PV, so this time I did the animation supervision… I think I worked harder than usual." While an impressive feat for a solo effort, the news hasn’t reassured fans who were already skeptical about the show's visual direction.One viewer summed up the general sentiment: "It's obviously going to be great art but you can just tell the animation is going to be lackluster just like in season 2. Season 1 really set the standard because now nobody really cares for this anime if it doesn't have godly animation." Others have described the teaser as "rushed," with the prevailing mood in the community being one of disappointment. Or, as one fan put it bluntly, "morale isn’t great right now."However, some are holding onto to hope. The PV is just a marketing piece, and according to one fan, its quality isn’t necessarily reflective of the final product: "The saving grace is that the PV was pre-animated, so the actual anime WON’T look like it. It was done by a single animator for the purpose of marketing."One-Punch Man Season 3 is set to arrive in October, and hopefully the next season delivers something that the fans are going to love.
