One-Punch Man Season 3 faced a lot of backlash from the anime community due to its lackluster animation. Fans are hoping that the production quality will improve during the two years it takes for the series to return in 2027. The anime is based on the manga series created by ONE, and illustrated by Yusuke Murata. Viz Media publishes the manga in English and describes it as:
Every time a promising villain appears, Saitama beats the snot out of ’em with one punch! Can he finally find an opponent who can go toe-to-toe with him and give his life some meaning? Or is he doomed to a life of superpowered boredom?
