At the “One Punch Man Festival” on Sunday, the staff and cast of the acclaimed anime series announced that One Punch Man was getting a second season and a mobile app. The first season came out in Japan in October of 2015 and quickly took the world by storm.
One Punch Man is one of my favorite animes of all time. Its first season was filled with great action, humor and suspense without falling for easy anime tropes. Saitama, the bald-headed protagonist is just too powerful and beats all of his enemies in one punch.
The basic formula of finding an evil villain and then punching them into oblivion might sound kind of boring, but OPM keeps it exciting with great characters like a cyborg and a “superhero” on a bike.
The second season for One Punch Man has no release date yet, but I can’t imagine that Viz Media is going to keep fans waiting for long.
