One-Punch Man season 3 is finally here after a six-year wait, but some fans are not impressed with the first episode. The long-awaited new season premiered yesterday on Crunchyroll, and the reactions so far have been surprisingly divisive, with some fans complaining about the animation quality and lack of "fluidity" in the action.

"For an episode that had almost 0 breathing space... It was mostly still frames. I'm scared how they'll handle the fights," wrote one Reddit user in a discussion thread for episode 1, which evidenced the disparity in opinions so far.
