The director of Season 3 of One-Punch Man deleted his X (formerly Twitter) account as the new season began airing and receiving mixed reactions from fans. Shinpei Nagai, who was a controversial pick to direct the season, said his words were twisted and used to create inflammatory content designed to generate clicks and profit.
Before removing his X (formerly Twitter) account, Nagai explained his decision online. His message quickly spread across platforms like Reddit. He stated that some of his followers were intentionally trying to provoke conflict, and he couldn’t tolerate their behavior. Specifically, he objected to them twisting his words, attempting to get him to reveal confidential information, and profiting from his statements. Because of these actions, he decided to delete his account.
One-Punch Man Season 3 Director Deletes Social Media Account Following Staff Exploitation
The new director of One-Punch Man explained that, despite always trying his best for fans, he’s decided he can’t continue working on the project under the current circumstances. He believes the most dedicated fans are the ones who get hurt the most by negativity. He strongly condemns those who attack the staff or profit from the creators’ difficulties through hateful actions, and as a result, he’s deleting his social media account and won’t be creating new ones. He asks for understanding, stating he can’t ignore behavior that harms the work itself.
Nagai, the director, stepped away from social media to protect his mental health after receiving online harassment following the anime’s release. He admitted the negativity was affecting him, the production team, and the original creators of the source material. While condemning the harassment as unacceptable, he expressed gratitude to supportive fans and apologized for any disappointment caused, saying he had enjoyed his work on the project despite the difficulties. He also noted his limited experience with action anime contributed to the situation.
Dedicated fans of the series were unhappy when Nagai was announced as the new director. His name, along with other Season 3 staff, was kept secret until shortly before the season premiered. Knowing fans were disappointed – Nagai had previously directed more adult-oriented romantic comedies like 2.5 Dimensional Seduction and I Can’t Understand What My Husband Is Saying – he attempted to manage expectations before the highly anticipated launch.
The creator acknowledges the new season of the anime might not be as good as the first and could even upset some viewers. However, they ask that people recognize the hard work and creativity that went into making it, and they are committed to delivering it, even if it’s challenging. They simply ask for acceptance of the effort involved.
