00:00One Punch Man Season 3 Episode 8 Review. More frames than all prior episodes combined.

00:07One Punch Man Season 3 Episode 8 Review. A decent episode with suitable animation,

00:14which begs the question if the quality can be maintained. One Punch Man Season 3 Episode 8

00:20might be the best episode in the entire season so far. It had decent action, plenty of comic

00:26elements, and well-executed scenes. The Flashy Flash vs. Tempest Wind and Hellfire Flame battle

00:33has to be one of the peak animated scenes. It might not be able to match the best standards

00:38in the industry at the moment, but this episode seems like a saving grace for fans who have been

00:44begging for a miracle. The anime is back to its parody galore, when decent animation sticks out

00:51like a sore thumb. The first thing that comes to mind when watching One Punch Man Season 3

00:56Episode 8 is thank God, the characters have finally begun moving. This is a statement that must have

01:03rung across the minds of every viewer who was taken aback and had to double-check if they were

01:08watching the right anime. Episode 8's animation quality is decent at best, but the performance

01:14of the previous episodes was so disastrous that even decent animation sticks out like a sore thumb.

01:21The episode had better pacing than anything else so far, and the plot is actually moving

01:26ahead instead of dilly-dallying. At the same time, it is clear that the animators do have the capacity

01:31to create something impressive. Yet, the time and budget constraints have been holding the staff

01:36back from realizing their full potential. Some episodes have been prioritized over others,

01:42but this is too little too late. Seeing Flashy Flash and Child Emperor in action has to be the

01:48highlight of the episode. One Punch Man Season 3 has finally matched Season 2 energy. One Punch Man

01:55Season 3 Episode 8 cannot hold a candle to Season 1, but it might have reached the same level as Season 2.

02:02It is a small victory for Season 3, especially considering the subpar animation quality that was

02:08being offered so far. The question that inevitably arises now is, can the anime maintain the same standard for

02:15the rest of the episodes? At its core, One Punch Man has always been a parody of shounen anime.

02:21In Episode 8, the parody style becomes clear once again as the dialogue exchange between Flashy Flash,

02:28Tempest Wind, and Hellfire Flame reflects on the stereotypical dialogues of shounen anime battles.

02:35That is exactly what makes the fight even funnier. Flashy Flash emerges as the hero with his big talks of

02:41idealism and training, while the villains who chose the wrong path end their lives in disillusionment,

02:48but not before a brief attempt at trying to make the audience sympathize with them.

02:53All in all, Episode 8 was a solid one, and now fans can only wait with dread to see if the next episode

02:59will match the same quality or become another disaster. The One Punch Man anime is currently available to

03:07stream on Crunchyroll.
