Summary of "This Show Isn't Trash Anymore"

Video Overview

In this video, the creator delivers a passionate and humorous rant about the current state of two major anime series: One Punch Man Season 3 and My Hero Academia’s latest seasons.

Main Highlights

One Punch Man Season 3

The video opens with a frustrated critique of One Punch Man Season 3, which the creator describes as a “train wreck.” Despite hopes for improvement, the animation quality remains abysmal, highlighted by a notorious two-minute scene composed of just nine still frames—essentially a PowerPoint presentation. There’s even a laughable animation error where a male character is mistakenly given breasts.

The creator argues that the real culprit behind the disaster is Bandai, the producer, who seemingly prioritized cutting costs over quality and rushed the production. This left the animation studio JC Staff with an impossible task and no budget. The season’s director has even quit social media due to fan harassment, which the creator condemns, insisting the blame shouldn’t fall solely on him.

Despite all this, the creator holds onto a sliver of hope that the upcoming fight scenes might redeem the season.

My Hero Academia

Shifting gears, the creator praises My Hero Academia for regaining its former glory after a period of decline. While the show lost its spark once the iconic character All Might left the spotlight, recent seasons have brought back intense, well-animated battles and gripping story arcs—particularly involving Bakugo, Midoriya, and the villainous Shigaraki, who’s described as a “devil incarnate” with godlike powers.

The creator acknowledges some fans might be disappointed that many early characters are sidelined or barely featured, but feels the focus on key players has led to a satisfying and hype-filled narrative.

They also touch on the manga’s ending, admitting it’s not their favorite but still far better than notoriously bad endings like that of Platinum End, which they humorously describe as absurd and nonsensical.

Notable Jokes and Reactions

Hyperbolic frustration over One Punch Man’s animation, including the infamous “PowerPoint” scene and the accidental “male character with titties” error.
An imaginative and exaggerated metaphor comparing the attempt to summon a good episode to an orc shaman in Warhammer 40k.
A sarcastic and humorous breakdown of Platinum End’s ridiculous ending, where the chosen god immediately kills himself, dooming humanity.
Self-aware tangents and candid admissions about being sleep-deprived and rambling, adding a personal and relatable touch.

Overall Impression

The video is a passionate, entertaining critique that balances disappointment with hope. It highlights how One Punch Man Season 3 has become a low point due to mismanagement and budget issues, while My Hero Academia is currently enjoying a renaissance, delivering exciting animation and storylines that recapture the audience’s enthusiasm.
