| Did they outsource 70% of this episode to another studio? I don't want to sound mean, but most of this episode didn't look like the work of (current) JC staff. Or maybe they put literally ALL OF THEIR MONEY into this specific episode, because tbh this episode had season 2 animation quality again. I'm so confused about the difference in quality for EP8 and EP1-7. It's like two different worlds. |
| Producers must love Flashy Flash. The last moment before this episode that had a minimum amount of animation was the 2 ninjas fighting. I wonder if they'll do this kind of effort again. |
| Imagine how boring this world would be without Japan - a comment at youtube |
| OK, this was actually slightly interesting. Didn't care about shitty ninja fight, even his parting words to the dead ninjas were lame ("More training.".. really?). Seems like a lot of budget wasted on a generic ninja we've seen a million times. Now Child Emperor, I was not expecting that character to be fun. Why the fuck did we not see more of this than generic trashy heroes fighting generic monsters up top? The animation is a a bit step up from previous episodes, but that isn't saying much when it went from 1/10 animation & visuals to 3/10. Whoever the writer/director of this shit-show is, fire them. PS: "One Punch Man" still missing from the fucking show named after him. |

| This flashy flash fight was about the quality I was expecting for every fight before this season aired. Sadly this will probably be the peak of this season. Still I'm glad that we actually broke the one frame barrier for longer than 10 seconds. |

“Atleast the flashy flash fight was decent”| @Macheteman it's good though but not great ik |
| Looks like the entire budget went into the Flashy Flash fight scene lol |
 |
| Definitely a huge improvement, I'd be happy if the rest of season was this well done but who knows if they'll be able to keep it up. Still its important to give credit where its due and this was a pretty good episode! |
| I just wanna see Saitama. |
  |
| finally some movement but thats just the bare minimum. the flashy laser beams flying effect during some other anime's fights can look good but it just looks lazy here and most of the episode was still a mess. even though the fight looked decent at times, its 3 characters who i have no interest in at all so there's still no excitement either way. |
 |
| Jeez, some of you people are impossible to please. |
 |
| They saved every last dollar (er, yen) they could so they could pour their entire savings into the first half of this episode. And it's still nothing compared to the first two seasons. |

| looks like it got decent because the main animator of OPM S2, Kenichiro Aoki stepped in to try and leverage the fights from there, hence the sudden increase in quality. Check his work, it just got updated. He's the animation director of S3 for Episode 8 |

| I heard this week’s episode was actually good for once, and I gotta say I agree, this was overall a solid episode, it was far from perfect but it actually felt like it was finished and not rushed out the door for the most part for the first time this season, even the second half of the episode I thought was better than usual. I’m not getting my hopes up for the rest of the season just because we got one solid episode, but I am still pleasantly surprised for now, especially since this is the first episode I’m watching after I finished my rewatch of Season 1, talk about night and day different right there lol. About the content itself, I wish we could’ve got more details on the two ninjas Gale Wind and Hellfire Flame, but we got the basic gist of their beef with Flashy Flash while they fought, it was enough to make it a bit more than a flashy fight (see what I did there), Flashy Flash came out on top in the end but the reveal that it was pretty much the perfect matchup for him goes to show how strong those two actually were, Flashy Flash made them look somewhat easy since he finished them in one move so I liked that added bit of context, but since they threw away their humanity for the strength of monsters, good riddance lol. And we also got to see Child Emperor save that rich kid, as well as see him in action, I’ve always wondered why he’s an S Class hero and we kinda saw that here, but so far it’s just been advanced gadgets, I imagine he has more up his sleeve, but it’s been cool seeing all of the stuff he pulls out of that backpack. And as a final note, I do want to mention that I’ve seen the evidence of AI usage in this season, which is a real shame if it’s really true, all I can do is hope it isn’t but some of the stuff looks hard to deny. |
| The only decent episode |
| Was positive that the high-speed battle of Flashy Flash would continue to be panning-png's galore. But yeah to everyone's surprise here, it wasn't half bad at all. It had its usual ugly art when they're standing around talking, but when the action went down and everyone goes super-sonic... yeah I gotta say I'm glad we got at least one fight this season that's at least somewhat solid. |

Lembard said: Those who rate it above one must really love eating s*** — as if they’ve just wiped the previous episodes from their memory. Bandai Namco will look at the rising score and say: ‘Well, everything seems fine, ratings are going up. In Season 4 we can just f*** ** more than half the episodes and throw out a single one (with maybe 11 good minutes),’ and we, as consumers, will just consume whatever they dump out. Bravo, guys. If you keep supporting the publishers like this, all our attempts to lower this season’s rating will just go to waste. One Punch Man did NOT deserve such a horrible animation. Could have at least used your main account but whatever. I don't think Japan gives a fuck about MAL ratings to begin with, it's the Japanese audience which is their main target. You get the most generic, barely average anime nr.566 every season for how many years? And they still somehow get multiple seasons, so it means that people in Japan must like that crap since they make sales and then the studios continue making more seasons. Honestly, idk what's the actual situation in Japan when it comes to this, but that's just how it looks to me and it's kind of a shame. |
