The wait is finally over: Season 3 of the Anime One Punch Man will return soon. Saitama fans have continued to await the return of the most powerful bald hero in anime.
The new season's debut has been scheduled for 2025, marking ten years since the original release and six years after the controversial season 2. The series, which became a global fever with memes and GIFs from the “OK”, returns with confirmed broadcast on Crunchyroll and Hulu .
Why the delay in launching One Punch Man?
First, the success of season 1 was not simple to replicate. Shingo Natsume, responsible director, set up a team of high -level freelance animators coming from projects like Space Dandy . However, as this team was never officially from Madhouse studio, he disappeared along with Natsume when he left for other productions.
Therefore, the studio change to JC Staff in Season 2 was the beginning of the problems. Although the studio has delivered good titles as a toor , he failed to maintain the technical level of One Punch Man, especially in fighting. The animation got stricter, the sound effects lost strength and the fans, therefore, reacted with harsh criticism.
Natsume still wants to return to the franchise
As revealed at events, Natsume expressed interest in directing season 3, but was not called. Meanwhile, JC Staff tries to rise after the unsuccessful season 2, facing an increasingly demanding audience and unmotivated animators. In 2024, a promotional video made by a single artist generated even more revolt, nicknamed “PowerPoint presentation”.
The manga also suffers from perfectionism
In addition to the challenges in the anime, the manga lives another drama: artist Yusuke Murata is constantly redesigning chapters. Even announced a new break until July 2025, claiming that he needs to review the Ninja Arch for the third time. This generates instability and affects anime production, which depends on this content as a basis.
In short, the future of the series is still uncertain. However, fans keep the hope of seeing a worthy return of the work that revolutionized the genre of superheroes.
