The 12th and final episode of One Punch Man 3 (One-Punch Man Season 3) ended with an announcement on Monday that its second cours will air in 2027.

Produced by J.C.Staff, the third season adapting ONE and Yusuke Murata's comedy action manga began airing on October 12. Hulu and Disney+ streamed the anime with subtitles in the U.S. and Canada, respectively, with Crunchyroll streaming it in Europe and Southeast Asia.

Madhouse produced the 12-episode first season 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.

The second season produced by J.C.Staff aired in 12 episodes 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.

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 35th volume on October 3. One Punch-Man has a cumulative 35 million copies of its compiled volumes in circulation.

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 32nd volume went on sale on December 16. The manga has also been published in multiple foreign languages.

They're announcing NOW, that it'll air in a whole year and some change. Surely this means Bandai won't fuck the staff into oblivion and actually create a means for a healthy production schedule....right? ๐Ÿค  (lol)
People on MAL refuse to actually enjoy watching anime.

Your taste in anime isn't a personality trait.

Take me back to the days before MAL became infested with Twitter's favorite buzzwords.

2027? Thank God! Thought I'd have to wait another 6 years for more OPM, since it took 6 years after OPM S2 for OPM S3 Part 1 to air.

Wow, and here I thought they would learn from the backlash this one got and would actually make something that the fans would love.

I expected disappointment and ended up with even more disappointment.

Only hope I can see for this is if Bandai actually gives the team a at least a entire year to work on it, but obviously they are not going to do that lol

@H_Erifu Well, apparantly while they season is internationally hated, the japanese audience apparantly does not give a crap about the bad animation and just rolls with it lol

@H_Erifu anime fans should know that production decisions are done way in advance so this part 2 like any other split cour was decided long time ago but the problem is that the actual production does not start right away like how busy the anime studio like jc staff in this case is or how the tv airing schedule has a shorter deadline so they rush the actual production

like anime fans keep saying season 3 has 6 years of total production but that is wrong because leaks did say they only started actual production few months before it actually aired

Honestly, is this some kind of a business strategy? I mean could any negativity turn into revenue?
This is soo weird. Most beloved series couldn't get a sequel annoucement that fast.

@terebitosan the anime industry like any business runs on quarterly capitalism aka short termism so they do not care about future potential profits they only care about maximizing profits in short term

@terebitosan Most likely, the entire production of this anime cost them about a few thousand dollars, so with such an absurdly ridiculously small budget, they can release a new season every few months))

After all, the general audience has no standards at all and will eat any guano as long as it's properly packaged. So why should they try harder than the bare minimum?

So many questions here. Biggest one in my head is after being regarded as possibly the most disappointing season of any anime to ever have been made, why immediately announce a new season with the exact same studio?

Second of all, season 3 part 2 makes it sound like it's going to be more of the same. Wouldn't you want to call it season 4 and not make it sound like a continuation of pure trash?

Anyways, not really my problem nor do I care anymore, I only watched reactions of this show after it was clear this season was ass, so I certainly won't be watching. Crazy double down from everyone involved lol
