*One Punch Man* Season 3 has officially premiered on October 12, 2025, diving into the Monster Association arc with Saitama's unbeatable punches – but the launch is overshadowed by controversy. Director Shinpei Nagai **deleted his entire X account** just days ago, citing brutal fan harassment, doxxing threats, NDA leaks, and mental health strain from toxic backlash over animation quality.

From "slideshow" animation roasts to divided reviews (IMDb premiere at 6.6/10, lower than the recap special), the hype has turned hostile. Nagai's final post: "This is taking a toll on my mental health, and it only brings negatives to the work, the staff, and the original creators."

In this updated 1-minute breakdown:
🔥 Post-premiere animation backlash
💔 Director's exit and harassment details
⚠️ Broader impact on anime creators

Will this lead to delays, boycotts, or real change in the industry? Stream now on Hulu, Crunchyroll, Netflix, or Disney+ – but at what cost to the team?
