The third season of the anime One Punch Man is facing its worst phase. After the airing of episode 6, "Motley Heroes ," its rating plummeted to 1.8 on IMDb , making it the lowest-rated anime of 2025. Furthermore, this surpasses the previous record low held by The Promised Neverland , which scored 2.9. Therefore, the impact on the franchise's reputation is inevitable.
Much of the criticism stems from the animation, static scenes, and limited direction. Meanwhile, many compared the One Punch Man episode to amateurish motion comics, stating that even Blue Lock season 2 didn't fall this low. However, the discontent grows with each new review.
JC Staff studio admits difficulties in handling the scale of the project. Thus, even though the series performs reasonably well on Netflix Japan, the global reception on Crunchyroll remains disastrous. Therefore, some viewers are calling for Madhouse , while others are even advocating for a complete hiatus to avoid further damage.
It's worth remembering that the One Punch Man season is only halfway through. Ultimately, the question remains: can the anime recover, or will it continue to accumulate negative reviews?
