2025 Is Over, And The Worst Anime Has Officially Been Decided

by

I have to say, 2025 was a fantastic year for anime! We got some really fresh series like Takopi’s Original Sin, and I was excited to see adaptations of things like Gachiakuta. Plus, a lot of shows I was looking forward to returned with new seasons – Solo Leveling Season 2, The Apothecary Diaries Season 2, and even My Hero Academia Season 8. There was definitely no shortage of great anime to watch, although, like any year, it wasn’t without its flaws.

Despite many great anime releases this year, a few have been truly disappointing. For a while, The Beginning After the End seemed like the worst of 2025, but it’s now been surpassed. According to ratings on MyAnimeList, One Punch Man Season 3 is currently the worst-rated anime of the year, and many fans fear it could signal the end of the One Punch Man series.

One Punch Man Season 3 Is 2025’s Worst Anime

  • The Lowest Rated 2025 Anime Overall
  • Abysmal Production Due To Lack Of Support And Care For The Animation Staff

One Punch Man is a hugely popular anime and manga series known worldwide. It tells the story of Saitama, a character who has become a fan favorite over the years.

I remember when One Punch Man first came out – everyone was talking about it! But lately, it hasn’t quite lived up to the hype. Season 2 really let a lot of people down, so there was a lot of anticipation for Season 3. Fans were hoping it would bring the series back to its former glory.

After a few years, One Punch Man returned for its third season in 2025. Unfortunately, there were concerns about the season even before it aired. Despite this, fans hoped the studio would still be able to deliver a decent final product.

Season 3 of One Punch Man has been widely criticized, and many are calling it one of the worst anime releases of 2025. The animation quality is particularly poor, with frequent use of static images and generally lackluster visuals. Fans have been quick to notice these issues, citing scenes like Garou’s still-image slide down a hill as especially problematic.

Honestly, it’s really disappointing to see the animation quality in One Punch Man Season 3. It’s not just a little off – there are a lot of noticeable mistakes. Things like inconsistent proportions and just overall sloppy art are everywhere when you compare it to the manga. Fans have even spotted some pretty big errors, like accidentally changing a character’s gender – poor Royal Ripper! It’s a real letdown when a series you love suffers from such issues.

Let’s be clear: the problems aren’t the animators’ or staff’s fault. They’re facing an incredibly difficult task – adapting the anime quickly with limited time and resources, making it nearly impossible to deliver a polished product.

One Punch Man Season 3 Is Lower-Rated Than The Beginning After The End On MAL

The third season of One Punch Man received very negative feedback from fans, who have expressed their disappointment through low ratings. It actually became the lowest-rated anime season of 2025 on MyAnimeList, a popular anime review site, despite having several other new shows competing for viewers’ attention.

In 2025, the anime series The Beginning After the End (TBATE) was released. Initially, it received low ratings, scoring a 6.18 out of 10. Surprisingly, One Punch Man Season 3 actually rated even lower at 4.69. This score places One Punch Man as the 14233rd highest-rated series on the platform, which is quite disappointing for such a popular show.

One Punch Man Will Not Recover After Two Huge Flops

There’s concern that Season 3 of One Punch Man could be the last. This worry stems from the previous season, which was poorly received and released back in 2019.

Season 2 of One Punch Man wasn’t a great adaptation either, but many fans actually preferred it to Season 3. Even with its flaws, Season 2 still has a respectable rating of 7.53.

If the team behind One Punch Man doesn’t get enough time and support to properly adapt the original manga, the series may never regain the popularity it had during its first season in 2015. The second part of its third season is expected to be released shortly.
