Everyone knows that One Punch Man Season 3 has just been released and immediately caused controversy due to its poor animation. And recently, a One Piece animator, Vincent Chansard, spoke up in defense of J.C. Staff! He explained that the issue is much more complex than we imagine.
One Piece Animator Speaks Up in Defense of J.C. Staff
One Punch Man Season 3's release stirred up the entire anime community due to its abysmal animation. Viewers expected the sequel to be as spectacular as Season 1, but the result disappointed many fans. However, not everyone blamed J.C. Staff, the studio behind Season 3.
Vincent Chansard, who has contributed to popular projects like One Piece, Jujutsu Kaisen, and Boruto, spoke up in defense of the animators and production team, stating that the real reason for the failure is not as simple as people think.
"Everyone blames J.C. Staff, but actually, the problem isn't just that. Sometimes, those in executive positions are the ones who decide everything," Chansard said in a very interesting conversation with YouTuber Requiem.
Reasons Why One Punch Man Season 3 Couldn't Excel
After a six-year wait, One Punch Man Season 3's release greatly disappointed fans. The animation, a crucial element in battle anime, was criticized for being too bland, unable to match the peak performance of Season 1 produced by Madhouse.
Chansard stated that in the anime industry, animators cannot always be as creative as they wish. Tight production schedules and limited budgets heavily impact product quality.
One of the biggest reasons One Punch Man Season 3 turned out this way could be the interference of investors. They impose strict financial demands and sometimes change the project's direction, "tying the hands" of creative work. That's why some anime projects can "break" even when the production team is very dedicated.
J.C. Staff faces an extremely competitive and harsh industry. They are not not trying, but in such circumstances, they can only do their best within time and budget constraints.
Don't Attack Animators on Social Media!
In addition, Vincent Chansard also sent a message to the anime fan community: don't attack animators on social media. Instead of criticizing, fans should understand that animators are working under a lot of pressure. The recent criticisms have made them even more tired and unable to focus on creative work.
This is not a rare case; many anime have been criticized for their quality, just like MAMAP once was. Busy schedules have made it impossible for both animators and studios to carry the production. Now with One Punch Man Season 3, we can understand that the true reasons are not simple.
