Fans have branded One Punch Man Season 3 Episode 10, "Immortal Bloodbath," the latest flop in an otherwise terrible season. The level of outrage has been high, with fans voicing their anger shortly after the episode's release. In fact, it currently holds an awful 2.3 rating out of 10, according to IMDb.The reception was awful because of the animation that was not the best, bad choices in creative direction, and too much censorship. People were looking forward to the fight between Zombie Man and Pure Blood, but it did not meet our expectations because of the different animation styles from scene to scene. And lastly, Zombie Man could be seen with a lollipop instead of a cigarette, which made some people angry.The Animation Crisis That Defined One Punch Man Season 3 Episode 10Pure Blood as seen in the series (Image Source: J.C. Staff)Many people have pointed out that One Punch Man Season 3 Episode 10 had a lot of issues with the animation, like the rest of Season 3. They have noted that there is an excessive amount of static PNG images moving around the screen instead of true animation through the traditional frame-by-frame method.The fight with Pure Blood is a prime example of these types of problems. In the manga, when you see Pure Blood, you can tell that he has been created with great detail and looks impressive. On the other hand, in the anime adaptation, the design of Pure Blood was very simplified with not enough shading, and while that may be okay if there was fluid animation throughout, the episode contained neither enough detail in the artwork nor smooth movement.The animation quality in One Punch Man Season 3 Episode 10 varied significantly. At times, you could see bits of decent animation, but then it would immediately go back to the slideshow speed line motion type animation.The Disco Nightmare and Visual OverloadNeon frames overloaded in One Punch Man Season 3 Episode 10 (Image Source: J.C. Staff)One Punch Man Season 3 Episode 10 was pretty crazy for entertaining quality on so many levels. Why did they choose to use neon lighting and filters throughout the episode? The Milong Hair fight scene turned out to be a full-blown disco, with a dancefloor and flashing lights everywhere.The whole disco vibe just didn't fit and took away from any feeling of danger/suspense. It left us wondering if it was meant to be a joke or just a way to cover up bad animation by hiding it with flashy stuff.The funky lighting wasn't only used in the disco scene. There were several sequences where strange colors and filters didn't tell a story but actually made it harder for viewers to follow the action on-screen.Censorship Controversy: The Lollipop IncidentThe decision to replace Zombie Man's post-battle cigarette with a lollipop in One Punch Man Season 3 Episode 10 sparked immediate ridicule across social media. Fans viewed this censorship as unnecessary infantilization that robbed the character of his gritty, world-weary persona."I don't think One Punch Man will recover from this. They should cancel the anime, wait for the manga to end then let another studio remake it." One fan urge to change the studio"It's disgraceful for such world class anime getting like this," Another fan quoteThe insult was accentuated by the fact that the manga panel was transformed from one of its most instantaneously recognizable works to something like a cartoon for kids - right down to the fact that a cigarette symbolizes Zombie Man's weariness and illustrates all of the suffering he has endured from utilizing his regeneration power, while changing it to candy completely changes the mood of the scene from a hard-won break to a kid's cartoon.There’s been a lot of talk about censorship in anime lately, and not just with Episode 10 of One Punch Man Season 3; a lot of other shows featuring cigarettes are getting the same treatment. But it seems like the switcheroo on this particular episode of One Punch Man was a bigger deal since it goes against the whole vibe of the series being more serious than most anime.One Punch Man Season 3 Episode 10 stands as another disappointing chapter in what has become one of anime's most infamous production disasters. The combination of poor animation, bizarre creative choices, unnecessary censorship, and systemic production problems created an episode that failed to do justice to the source material.
