‘One Punch Man’s’ Most Humiliating Rating Milestone Happened After Season 3, Episode 6 Aired – And It’s Getting Worse

Season 3, Episode 6 of One Punch Man now has the lowest rating ever for an anime episode on IMDb, sitting at just 2/10. Fans rushed to rate it as soon as it aired, and the reaction was overwhelmingly negative. According to IMDb, viewers complained about stiff visuals, choppy pacing, and action scenes that didn’t feel exciting.

The thing is, when I first thought about writing on it, the episode was at 3/10, which means it’s getting worse, and who knows how low the score might go

Much of the disappointment comes from the gap between what fans hoped for and what they actually got.

One-Punch Man is famous for fast-paced battles and slick fight scenes, and this episode felt slow and flat in comparison. The Monster Association arc is one of the most loved parts of the manga, and people were expecting big, thrilling moments, not an episode that felt like a step backward.

Social media quickly blew up after the episode dropped. Fans shared their shock and frustration everywhere online. Some questioned whether the studio could fix the series, while others talked about how far the show had fallen since its first season. The conversations online seemed to make the low rating even worse.

The low score highlights bigger problems behind the scenes. According to sources close to the anime industry, production instability, rushed timelines, and a lack of consistent animation talent all played a role.

Now the question is whether One-Punch Man can recover. Later episodes could still make the season exciting again, especially because the manga has strong material. But regaining fan trust will take work.
