One Punch Man Season 3 has already fallen into a rough phase of reception, and its current position in the rankings of MyAnimeList has attracted attention of both the viewers and the critics.
One-Punch Man premiered six years after Season 2, and based on this, the expectations were very high. Yet weekly viewer ratings and ranking have been plummeting sharply as the series has aired.
Issues with the season that are perceived to include pacing, animation quality and choice of adaptation have been mentioned several times by audience on social platforms. Consequently, Season 3 of One-Punch Man has now been shown at the bottom of the list of top TV series in the MyAnimeList section, which is largely covered in social channels and aggregate sites.
One Punch Man Season 3 is currently ranked in the lower half of the Top TV Series on MyAnimeList and has a sub-5.0 average, indicating a drastic declining of popularity among fans. This numerical decrease shows the scoring pattern of the users in MyAnimeList and the amount of negative response the season has received. MyAnimeList ranking has a high value since the website collects very high numbers of fan ratings and is a major indicator of anime reception.
The first complaints, which started right after One Punch Man Season 3, were related to animation and pacing, with some of the individual episodes receiving particularly low viewer ratings on external aggregators.
The most talked-about example is the sixth episode that received an extremely low rating on IMDb and sparked a renewed debate over the quality of production of the entire season. This has led to critique, and supporters have cited a perceived lack of compatibility between the previous standards of the franchise and the present implementation of the Monster Association content, heightening disillusions with the latest season of One Punch Man.
Some commentators in the industry and other animators themselves have resisted the strongest responses to One Punch Man Season 3, arguing that the limitations at the production level need to be separated from the work of individual animators. However, the overall rating of the season on MyAnimeList is an obvious indicator: a significant portion of the viewers are not happy with the state of One Punch Man Season 3. Such discontent can now be quantified and visible on ranking websites frequented by many fans before devoting themselves to a new season.
One Punch Man — What the MyAnimeList ranking actually means
Being in the top 50 of the list of the best TV series on MyAnimeList, in itself, is not a factor that can show the long-term success of One Punch Man as a franchise, but it measures the sentiment the audience has towards it at the moment. Tens of thousands of user votes are aggregated at MyAnimeList.
A drop in the rankings indicates that episodes have received a lot of low ratings, which reportedly could be due to organized review bombing along with actual viewer disillusionment. The drop in the example of One Punch Man Season 3 can be considered as a combination of both instantaneous emotional reaction and thoughtful comments on quality.
In the case of One Punch Man in particular, the quantifiable impact will be triplefold. Streaming popularity can be impacted by a negative word of mouth, merchandising and ancillary sales can be influenced by a toxic fanbase, and any future production team can re-evaluate personnel choice or timing to follow-up on a second season. Nevertheless, the franchise has a buffer of that One Punch Man has as an IP, in terms of sales during the original manga, its worldwide fame, and the retained popularity of Season 1. A low season rating on MyAnimeList may be fatal to One Punch Man as a series.
In examining similar instances in contemporary anime, various series have been able to correct missteps during their seasons that resulted in low ratings, such as pacing, change of director or studio, or simply selling the series as repackaged. In the case of One Punch Man, more direct paths to the restoration of critical goodwill would be more adaptation options, more episode direction, and an open channel of communication by the production committee. Already, fans propose remakes or re-edits; we will see how soon One Punch Man will be able to counter the existing trend.

Conclusively, the fact that One Punch Man Season 3 can be found at the bottom of the Top TV Series list on MyAnimeList, as well as the fact of its below-average score of below 5.0 on the same site, is a transparent and measurable demonstration of the dissatisfaction of the audience at the moment.
The ranking, according to the community monitoring and social aggregators, is the actual ramifications in the eyes of One Punch Man, although the franchise still has structural advantages. The continuation of the fall will rely on response to production, editorial decision-making and the openness of the fans and the overall anime industry to some form of remediation action in the next few weeks.
