Recently, the trailer for season 3 of One Punch Man was revealed, sending fans into a frenzy. Before the trailer dropped, there were many guesses that MAPPA would be handling the animation for this season. But it turns out, it’s J.C. Staff who will be bringing it to life, just like they did for season 2.
Some fans were let down by season 2 and had hoped Madhouse would return. So, when J.C. Staff was announced, there was some worry among fans.
But now, opinions are shifting as people are starting to appreciate the work J.C. Staff has put into the trailer. It’s all about Garou, the main bad guy of this new season.
One Punch Man Season 3 Trailer Breakdown And Manga Comparison
In the initial part of the One Punch Man season 3 trailer, we hear a voice narrating about Saitama surpassing his limits. Meanwhile, the spotlight shines on Garou as he clashes with Bug God. Despite Garou’s fierce punch, Bug God remains unfazed, leading to Garou’s bleeding knuckles.
The trailer then transitions to Garou facing off against Royal Ripper. The scene depicts an intense battle where Garou skillfully dodges his adversary’s attacks.
Despite his best efforts, when Garou tries to strike Bug God with all his might, he gets flung into live cables. Despite the shock, he quickly rebounds with a retaliatory kick.
This trailer mirrors the manga closely, capturing the essence of Yusuke Murata’s detailed illustrations.
Adapting these nuances into animation is no easy feat, but many commend J.C. Staff for effectively bringing to life some of the most memorable moments from Garou’s confrontations with Bug God and Royal Ripper.
One notable aspect of the animated sequence was the portrayal of facial expressions, particularly Garou’s intense emotions of anger and frustration.
While manga has the advantage of flexible panel angles, animated adaptations face limitations in this regard. Despite this, the studio adeptly recreated the angles with remarkable precision in the trailer for One Punch Man season 3.
The anime frames closely resembled their manga counterparts. Fans expressed satisfaction with the trailer and are eagerly anticipating the upcoming season to see what it has in store.
