‘One Punch Man’ is beloved by superhero and anime enthusiasts globally. Beginning as a popular manga, it has grown into a widely known anime. The story revolves around Saitama, the world’s strongest superhero, who defeats foes effortlessly with a single punch. Despite his unbeatable abilities, Saitama finds life monotonous and dull. The series introduces intriguing villains like a vengeful cyborg and features unique characters such as a talking dog, telekinetic sisters, and alien invaders. Since its 2015 debut, fans eagerly anticipated and were highly satisfied with the series.
With 100% rating on Rotten Tomatoes and rave reviews, Season 1 was a great success! Fans and critics were impressed by the series’ fluid animation and comedic essence. Unsurprisingly, the show was so successful that it went on to Season 2. However, Season 2 faced some minor complications and received negative comments from fans due to a studio switch and also change of director. Understandably, fans were worried that the production would not be as good as the first season. Chikara Sakurai took over Shingo Natsume as director, and the show was taken over by J.C. Staff. On top of that, delay in the Japanese release further riled fans as they felt that the show wasn’t given the priority it deserves from its new creators. Nonetheless, the show still went on to receive some positive reviews and fans are on the edge of their seats for Season 3.
No Specific One Punch Man Season 2 Release Date yet
Although no official release date has been set for Season 3, it has been confirmed that Season 3 is in the works by a tweet from the official One Punch Man twitter account. However, fans are worried if the series will face another studio change, delaying the whole production like the last Season. Fans are also worried that the quality of production will keep decreasing with studio and director changes.
