The official website of the television anime adaptation of ONE and Yusuke Murata's One Punch-Man (One-Punch Man) manga announced a third season on Thursday, revealing a teaser visual (pictured).

ONE originally launched One Punch-Man as a webcomic in July 2009. Murata (Eyeshield 21) began redrawing the action superhero manga on the Tonari no Young Jump website in June 2012. Shueisha published the 26th volume on June 8. One Punch-Man has a cumulative 26 million copies of its compiled volumes in circulation.

Madhouse adapted the manga into a 12-episode television anime in Fall 2015. Daisuki, Hulu, and VIZ Media's Neon Alley platform streamed the anime with subtitles as it aired in Japan. Adult Swim's Toonami programming block debuted the show with an English dub in July 2016. VIZ Media released the anime series on home video in North America in April 2017.

J.C.Staff produced the second season in Spring 2019. Crunchyroll and Hulu simulcast the anime in Europe and North America, respectively. Toonami aired the second season with an English dub in October 2019.

VIZ Media originally serialized One Punch-Man in English in its Shounen Jump Alpha digital anthology in January 2013 and currently simulpublishes the manga on its new Shounen Jump platform with the Japanese release. The 23rd volume shipped last October, with the 24th volume planned for a November 1 release. The manga has also been published in multiple foreign languages.

Synopsis
After rigorously training for three years, the ordinary Saitama has gained immense strength which allows him to take out anyone and anything with just one punch. He decides to put his new skill to good use by becoming a hero. However, he quickly becomes bored with easily defeating monsters, and wants someone to give him a challenge to bring back the spark of being a hero.

Upon bearing witness to Saitama's amazing power, Genos, a cyborg, is determined to become Saitama's apprentice. During this time, Saitama realizes he is neither getting the recognition that he deserves nor known by the people due to him not being a part of the Hero Association. Wanting to boost his reputation, Saitama decides to have Genos register with him, in exchange for taking him in as a pupil. Together, the two begin working their way up toward becoming true heroes, hoping to find strong enemies and earn respect in the process. [Written by MAL Rewrite]

The Poster's art-style is the total manifestation of Bones Studio. Any good artist can figure this out.

"Any good artist" would know that art styles are something that come out of.... good artists, and not studios. And they would also know to actually search stuff instead of just making random guesses and being so confident about spreading them, thus knowing that it was Chikashi Kubota, designer for both seasons that drew this season.

@deg There is no "MAPPA style" when it comes to coloring, specially not by just being "gloomy".

Season 1 sits in my headspace as ultimate Anime even had me eventually buying and reading the Manga, season 2 killed my interest dead including dissolving my purchasing said Manga.

Having not been able to stomach past episode 5 of season 2 I will ignore season 3 as if it was more Disney Star Wars.

Please tell me madhouse is adapting this, but from poster I know its not however I really hope if they do coz 2nd season was shitty I want gritty action like the first season, don't get me wrong season 2 was not bad but it just lacks scale. after watching earth shattering fights in season 1 especially climax season 2 seems like cat fight, I want Monster Garou Genos in some serious action

S1 was awesome, S2 was boring. I'm hoping it will be better than last season.

Boring? Boring how? Season 1 was basically a sitcom with an epic finale. Season 2 actually had story to it. Lmfao

Probably gonna be as bad as season 2, unless some miracle happens, which is unlikely. RIP.

I agree with you, second season has very disappointing.

Okay so the Guy who Gives one punch and wins comes with S3 after another 4 years and try to be like idc about what's going on around here, the most predictable Show even tho it was funny at 1st season, Still it's pretty much just a guy with one punch wins. Idk what author is doing but i feel like he wants Saitama to be Strongest in Anime Universe or something xD, u can't feel anything from antagonist in OPM because u know how it ends everytime. Maybe Need some good antagonist with little Much of ur boy giving a punch and the episode is over thing. So just my Opinion it's still watchable not bad tho

Why does this show take so long to get new seasons when the material from the manga is already there?

4+ years between each season, really?
